The 2009 Ljósanótt was good times for all
Another Ljósanótt has come and
gone. The annual celebration
has now marked its sophomore
year, and the tribute dinner this year, held at Winnipeg’s Hotel Fort Garry on the evening of January 31, was by most accounts an unqualified success.
Betelstaður was the site for the
annual presentation of scholarships awarded by the
Jon SigurdssonChapter IODE
on Saturday, November 14, 2009.
The Jon Sigurdsson Chapter of the IODE presented fifteen scholarships this year to sixteen recipients at a program held November 8, at the Betelstadur Housing Co-op in Winnipeg. Approximately 90 people attended.
