Chief‘s Message

Hej fellow Viking,

May starts our summer season, and we have an amazing line-up of activities, music and volunteer opportunities. We are looking forward to seeing our snowbirds return. I always feel like everything is back to normal when we can start enjoying the Lake Park. To sit and watch the water, boats, and the most beautiful sunsets in the world.

I hope every one of you brings back thoughts of a peaceful summer. Remember to always have the best interests of the Vikings in mind.

Welcome back fellow Vikings!

Sunset Hill Cemetery Viking Lot 15

In 1948 Ingjald Lodge 65 purchased Lot 15 in the Sunset Hill Cemetery containing 30 graves. Lot 15 is located on the lower end of the middle road. Seven graves have been used since they were purchased. The last grave used was in 1971. This means there are 23 graves still available. It has been 52 years since the last burial in Lot 15. Graves at the current price are $695 each. Ingjald Lodge voted unanimously in favor of selling 17 grave sites at $500 each to Viking members. The remaining 6 grave sites will be used to help Viking members in need. Money realized by the sale of these grave sites will be used to help one of our capital projects. e.g. New Roof on Lodge Contact Ingjald Chief Tera Darts or Al Johnson via Viking Office if interested.
