Our Mission - To unite the Norwegian community to share ideas and culture in order to strengthen family and social bonds and celebrate our Scandinavian heritage.

Our Vision - To make the Vennekretsen - Atlanta lodge fun, informative, supportive and interesting, helping it grow into a vibrant group that creates visibility and awareness of the Scandinavian culture in our local community.

Our Circle of Friends at Vennekretsen Lodge of Atlanta is one of best benefits of membership because it is the collaboration of our fiends and family that makes all of this possible.

Circle of Friendship at the Vennekretsen Lodge 678

Vennekretsen translated to English is "The Circle of Friends" and symbolizes the relationship of the lodge to "familien og vennekretsen" (family and friends).
