Chief‘s Message

Hej fellow Viking,

What a wonderful summer. I want to thank everybody for your support in my second year as chief. I couldn’t think of a better place to spend my time and energy. I hope everyone enjoyed their time as much as I have. Don’t forget we go to our winter hours after Labor Day. I hope you all purchased your Clucks and Bucks tickets for our annual Labor Day Chicken festivities and your Marina steak fry tickets on Saturday, Sept. 7th. If you’re heading south, safe travels and will see you on the spring.

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.
