Landingslaget's Centennial Celebration

Emigrants from North and South Land came together in 1910 to form Landingslaget. We'll celebrate 100 years of history, fellowship, and remembrance through various projects and activities throughout our centennial year.  We are currently working on special events during the 2010 7-Lag Stevne and the publication of a Lag Yearbook.

Early Members of Landingslaget

We need your help collecting biographies of Landings officers over the years!

 

As we approach our centennial year, interest in the history of our lag grows.  The continued presence of Landings Laget is due in large part to the contributions of its officers.  The dynamics of the lag have changed through the years and the officers have adjusted the focus and the activities of the lag to meet these changes.  It is appropriate that our centennial book should honor the efforts of our leaders.  Landings Across the Ocean features biographies of some of the lag officers, but there were many more who are not included. Our historical list of officers includes an "X" in front of the names of those for whom a biography is on file.  We'd like to have biographies for all of these important contributors to the Lag's history and success.

We have identified some of the people in a photo from the 1911 Landingslag stevne at Como Park in St. Paul MN.  We'd like to identify everyone; if you can help, it will be greatly appreciated!  

 


Centennial Book "Landingslag, The First 100 Years"

The Landingslag Centennial publication will most likely be ready to distribute by the end of August, so now is the time to send in your order.  In considering how many copies you may want, be sure to think about family birthday and Christmas gifts! 

Cost for the first book will be $45.00, additional copies $42.00.  Hopefully some of you will be able to find a way to pick up your copies in Burlington.  If this isn’t possible, $6.00 should be added per copy for mailing to addresses in the U.S.  Contact  Ann Edwards (arepbea2@juno.com or 1-262-763-3929) about postage to other countries or if you have any questions…….
