PICTURE
THIS:
A warm summer evening, good
friends, music, an open air café in your favorite Nordic
capital or a boat leisurely anchored in your favorite fjord,
a bucket of fresh shrimp, french bread and a bottle of wine…
On June 20th you will have
a chance to experience almost all of the above because that’s
the date of...
SCAN’s 9th annual
Midsummer Shrimp Fest
SCAN is again hosting this
event together with a number of co-sponsoring organizations,
see separate flyer for details.
After the customary social
hour, there will be dancing around the beautifully decorated
Maypole. Ladies from SWEA will lead us in this typical
Swedish midsummer tradition of singing and dancing.
Delicious “peel them
yourself” shrimp from the ice cold waters of the Atlantic
ocean will be served in abundance quantities, together with
a scrumptious salad, bread and wine and followed by fresh
strawberries, coffee and “dansk kringle”.
Pasta will be available for those who do not favor shrimps
and our friends from Brit’s at Nansen will again keep the
BBQ warm and provide grill meats as long as supply last.
After dinner the dance
floor is opened and you will have a chance to dance all
those extra calories right off. The popular “Time Machine”
is back again this year and will keep us all hopping…..
It is recommended that you
bring a warm jacket or sweater, just in case… The weather
can turn a little cool after sunset.
There will be a raffle,
silent auction. Donations of raffle items are encouraged.
Contact Paal Berg If you wish to donate a prize:

Please contact Paal Berg .
This event is SCAN’s most
important fundraiser of the year. All the proceeds go to
Nansen Field’s operation and debt reduction. Please come
and bring your friends for a great evening. But we have a
request:
Last year we were around 375 people in attendance, of which
approx. 50 were “walk-ins”….with no prior
reservations. Needless to say this caused some logistical
challenges. There will always be some that decide to come at
the last minute and we try to plan accordingly. However, we
encourage you to send in your reservation as soon as
possible.
| SOME
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
1) Everyone must
register at the check-in tables, which will be
organized alphabetically. There will be a separate
table for “walk-ins” and for those who reserved,
but did not send in payment.
2) You will be
given a red ticket when checking in. You can win a
door prize so do not throw it away. The ticket also
serve as your dinner ticket, so be prepared to show
it on request.
3) Although wine
served during dinner is included in the entry fee,
you need to purchase drink tickets for drinks
consumed during the social hour and after dinner. Do
not get in line at the bar without a drink ticket
because they do not accept cash. Bar tickets are
sold at a separate table.
4) There are open
seating at dinner. We realize that people prefer to
sit with friends, but that is sometime difficult to
arrange with such a large crowd. If your preferred
seating cannot be met, think of it this way; you
will get to meet some new and very nice people.
5) Maypole dancing
is expected to start at 6:30 pm. You are encouraged
to participate in this fun activity.
6) Dinner will
start around 7 pm.
- Each table will select a person to pick up bowls
of shrimp and salad at food stations.
- Lasagne is available for those preferring pasta to
shrimp. Bring your plate to a designated food
station.
- Grill meats are
available in limited supply. A donation basket will
be placed by the BBQ.
- Dessert
(strawberries) will be placed at dessert tables as
will coffee and pastries. Everyone help themselves.
Don’t get impatient if the lines are a little long….you
may meet new friends.
7) Raffle tickets
will be sold throughout the evening up until approx.
8:30 – 9:00 pm. Raffle items will be displayed at
tables in side the large clubhouse. Winning tickets
will be posted on the wall inside big clubhouse
around 9:30 pm.
8) Silent auction
table will be located inside big club house. Make
sure to visit and review. Be generous as this event
is a fund raiser for Nansen Field
9) We like to have
your feed-back regarding the arrangement and plan to
send out a questionnaire afterwards. Make sure you
leave us with a email address. |
