1) The movie "The Vikings" , http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052365/ starring Tony Curtis and Kirk Douglas will be shown April 13th at 7 pm at the Norse Hall, 111 NE 11th (between NE Couch and Davis and 10th and 11th).
2) The coffee cup design is coming along. Most of the issues were resolved. The artwork will be submitted and reviewed by all meeting members by Tuesday, April 6th.
3) For the talk on the 16th, there will be a reception beginning at 6 p.m. at the Finnish Classroom, and food will be available at that time.

The name will be under the ship on the coffe cup in a pseudo-runic font. The name of the foundation will be above the image, the name of the ship below, and the blogspot name in fine print below that...
