LOOKING BACK TO LOOK FORWARD
A BRIEF HISTORY OF NORDIC NORTHWEST
It’s been awhile since we shared some of our history and how
Nordic Northwest became what it is today. In lieu of a President's
Message in this issue, we've decided to take a step back to
appreciate the places we've been and the places we're going.
The Scandinavian Heritage Foundation, as we were once
known, was born out of a group of core founders who wanted
to ensure the continuation of cultural studies at Portland State
University and spread this cultural appreciation into the greater
community. SHF was founded as an Oregon 501(c)(3) nonprofit
in 1985 and when the property on SW Oleson Road, adjacent to
Fogelbo, became available for purchase in 1992, the “Founder’s
Club” was formed to fundraise. After the property was
purchased, thanks to generous help from the Nordic community,
SHF worked with architects to explore building options and
navigate the surrounding protected wetlands.
The active capital campaign lasted from 2004 to 2014 when the
organization broke ground on what is now Nordia House. The
beautiful hand carved doors were the first piece of the building
commissioned from Leroy Setziol and Monica Setziol-Phillips, and
the building was designed by Diloreto Architects and built by
Andersen Construction. With a new building came a new name,
Nordic Northwest, to help incorporate all five Nordic countries:
Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. Nordia House
opened in June of 2015 with the addition of Broder Söder, our
in-house café. Our beautiful facility allows us to have over one
hundred events per year and seasonal rotating exhibits. •
ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP &
VOLUNTEER CELEBRATION
The community that our membership
and volunteers bring to Nordia House
is very important to us! You are a part
of something great and without you
NNW could not complete our mission
of celebrating the culture of the Nordic
countries we all love. That special time
of year has come again, a time of year
when we express our thanks to you—
our members and volunteers—for your
year-round enthusiasm and support.
Mark this annual celebration on your
calendar now—Sunday, September
10 from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. The
afternoon will include a buffet spread
by Broder Söder; presentation of the
NNW President’s Award for service;
recognition of volunteer achievement
in 2016/2017; the presentation of our
annual report; a preview of upcoming
events; a kid’s area; a magnificent silent
auction; and a whole lot more! This
event is FREE to members and NNW
volunteers, but seating is limited and an
RSVP is required. Members may bring
guests for an additional charge of $15
each. (Membership must be current to
RSVP). RSVP now by calling our office to
reserve your spot(s) at 503.977.0275 or
by emailing laila@scanheritage.org. •

WINTER
IS COMING
EXPERIENCE THE HISTORY OF
NORDIC SKIING FROM ITS ROOTS IN
SCANDINAVIA TO THE PRESENT-DAY
PACIFIC NORTHWEST
Oregon has been on the forefront of Nordic
skiing since the early 1920s, and the entire
history of the sport, including the journey
from Scandinavia to the Pacific Northwest,
will be on display at Nordia House from
September 20 through December 31. The
development of the exhibit, Winter Comes:
Oregon’s Nordic Ski History, comes to
us from the Deschutes County Historical
Society and is curated by Deschutes
County Historical Society Executive
Director Kelly Cannon-Miller, co-curator
Tim Gibbons with the Oregon Nordic Ski
Foundation, and local historian Tor Hanson.
Hear the oral histories of the sons and
daughters of ski pioneers recounting their
determination to explore the backwoods
of Oregon on two skis; compare skis and
outfits across the decades; and read about
the entrepreneurial Nordic immigrants
who brought their beloved sport to the
Pacific Northwest. This exhibit is generously
sponsored by Hans and Nancy Sohlstrom.
Free and open to the public. •
SCANFEAST
2017
JOIN IN FOR OUR GRANDEST
FUNDRAISING EVENT OF THE YEAR
For more than twenty-five years, our annual ScanFeast
Auction & Gala has not only been a great party, but
has also provided the largest source of financial support
for NNW. This year, ScanFeast will account for almost
25% of our budget. Even though attendance is limited by
our capacity, there are many ways to support the effort.
The ScanFeast Raffle is always popular and this year’s
prizes are perfect for Oregon wine lovers. Top prize
includes a two night stay at the extraordinary Allison
Inn & Spa in Newberg, a $500 gift certificate for use
at the Inn, Spa, or JORY Restaurant, and a host of wine
tasting experiences at Willamette Valley wineries. Plus,
an excellent assortment of fine Nordic wines for your
personal collection. Total value over $2,500.
Second prize is a two-night stay for up to six people at
Beacon Hill House in Gaston, OR paired with a wine
tasting at Beacon Hill Winery and other fun add-ons. Total
value over $900.
Tickets are $50 each or six for $250, and are on sale at
Nordia House or by phone at 503.977.0275. A maximum
of 400 tickets will be sold.
ScanFeast Auction item donations are also ALWAYS
important to us. At the event, we have both a live auction
and a silent auction. Spirited bidding is the key to a
successful fundraiser, so we are always looking for unique
experiences and treasures to spur excitement.
Can you or your business donate goods or services we
could add to our auction? Dinners, overnight or extended
stays at hotels or condos, tickets to sporting or cultural
events, or out-of-the-ordinary opportunities? Give our
office a call at 503.977.0275, or download our donation
form at www.scanheritage.org/scanfeast.
ScanFeast tickets are always in tight supply. We begin our
ScanFeast outreach by first seeking full-table sponsorships
and underwriting, but any remaining seats will be made
available for single-seat sale beginning September 1.
On that date, single tickets go on-sale at the Early Bird
price of $150 each. Ticket prices go to $175 each on
September 8. We anticipate that this event will sell out, so
be sure to call as early as possible if you are interested.

people she met along the way. This year Sofia Talvik is

IMPROVEMENTS
TO FOGELBO
THE HISTORIC DECK AT FOGELBO HAS BEEN RESTORED!
The deck was designed by Robert Evenson, AIA and NNW board
member, and built by Peter Popa and Legacy Decks & Fence. In addition,
Robert Evenson carved the railings to match the features of Fogelbo. It is
now able to accommodate small- to mid-size gatherings!
This project was made possible thanks to the generous support of Lili and
Alf Gregerson, who gave us a matching $80,000 grant last year in honor
of Lili’s 80 TH birthday, and to all those who helped match it. Many thanks
also to John Nelson, Ralph Tuomi, Seppo Saarinen, and Ken Magnuson
for their help in making the new deck a reality! Ross certainly enjoys
sitting out there to get some sun.
NNW greatly appreciates special contributions like Lili and Alf’s to
support specific aspects of our buildings and mission, including Fogelbo.
If you would like to make a contribution to support this historic treasure,
consider donating to Friends of Fogelbo, at scanheritage.org/donate, or
by calling us at 503.977.0275. •
A huge thank you to these and all our NNW volunteers! Please stay-tuned for our annual report
for a comprehensive look at the contributions of all our volunteers so far through 2017!
