WeLCome from the Co-Chairs of the Northern Lights auktion

W

elcome to our Northern Lights Auktion! We thank you for your

generous support, donations, and continued help, all of which benefit the Nordic Heritage Museum.

We are proud to be part of the Museum and the volunteer effort that maintains the documentation and representation of our rich history.

We won’t forget the brave relatives who arrived here to make a new start, or the mother countries to which we are still connected. We are committed to passing on to our children and grandchildren a deep understanding of all that is Nordic and where our legacy began. This auction supports the Museum’s exhibits, festivals, language program, films, featured artists, and children’s programs, all of which ensure the continuing story of our place in the world.

It has been a pleasure and honor to work with the Museum staff, especially Mary Bond who did an outstanding job coordinating all efforts and keeping us on target in order for tonight to be a great success.

We are grateful for the countless hours that the auction committee and volunteers have given to ensure that this event is a wonderful experience.

We hope you will enjoy this festive evening, especially the dinner and time spent with old and new friends with a mutual spirit of generous giving.

Warmest Regards from the Co-Chairs,

Berit Sjong Co-Chair of the 2013 Northern Lights Auktion

Welcome from CEO Eric Nelson

I

am thrilled to welcome you to the Northern Lights Auktion! Our 28th

annual gala features a tribute to the current President of the Board and tireless supporter of the Museum, Irma Goertzen.

We have created an evening filled with sensational lots and many opportunities to support the Museum, as well as special performances by the Norwegian Male Chorus. I would also like to voice my appreciation for all who have made this momentous event possible: the Auktion Committee and Co-Chairs Berit Sjong and Linda Christenson, our volunteers, donors, staff, and especially this evening’s attendees!

The Nordic Heritage Museum is more than a museum; it is also a vibrant cultural center committed to fostering appreciation for Nordic traditions. Our dedication to developing diverse and innovative exhibits, events, and educational experiences for adults and children is one of our most important values, and the annual Auktion provides crucial funding for the Museum’s programs.

Your generosity during this year’s Fund-A-Need will directly support our efforts to share Nordic culture.

Please contribute to these important endeavors by bidding high and bidding often!

Thank you for sharing this evening with us in support of the Museum — we anticipate a great event.

Eric Nelson CEO Nordic Heritage Museum

How the Auction Works ExpressPay™ Guests will be offered the opportunity to sign up for ExpressPay™ service at check-in. By registering for this service, you can avoid standing in line to pay for your purchases at the end of the night. You must register before the closing of the first silent auction section.

Sign up for ExpressPay™ by providing the registration assistant with a VISA, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover credit card, or a signed check made out to Nordic Heritage Museum, which will be run through the payment system and kept on file for the evening.

During the Live Auction you will receive a receipt of your total spending during the Silent Auction and the first portion of the Live Auction.

At the close of the auction, your purchases will be totaled and charged as directed.

Fund-A-Need The Nordic Heritage Museum needs your help. Since opening our doors to the public in April 1980, we remain the only museum in the United States dedicated to celebrating the culture and heritage of the five Nordic countries.

This year’s Fund-A-Need will allow us to preserve the legacy created over 30 years ago and provide unique, immersive cultural experiences for Ballard and its national and global visitors. The Museum continues to nurture its relationship with long-time supporters while engaging with new audiences. We present so many exciting events, from exhibitions and festivals, to community and educational programs.

Last year the Museum presented more than 100 public programs, with such highlights as the exhibition Eight Seasons in Sápmi, the Land of the Sámi People, the Nordic Knitting Conference, PechaKucha, Soup & Cinema, Viking Days, and Yulefest. Among the 56,000 visitors last year, the Museum served 3,800 children who participated in education programming and visited on school tours.

The Museum is also a community, serving as a gathering place for celebrations like the Finnish Christmas Bazaar, as well as hosting the Norwegian Male Chorus and the Scandinavian Language Institute. We help keep the Nordic spirit alive by presenting such cultural projects as the book Voices of Ballard and Beyond and the Nordic Lights Film Festival.

The Museum is also the gathering place for innumerable partner organizations, while standing out as unique among them. And while the Museum continues to thrive, it is through your generous support that we are able to flourish. Support of tonight’s Fund-A-Need demonstrates not only your commitment to the Museum, but a passion for your heritage.
