VAAGE LADIES AID

    The history of the Vaage Ladies Aid begins in 1903 written in Norwegian with
Pastor Ringstad from Petersburg coming to their meetings in the summer. Their
dues were $2.00 a year.

    The ladies did many things to make money to help build their church which
they began in 1916. The name Vaage was chosen to honor the homes in Norway where
many of these pioneers were from and to help band together here those who had
come from that locality — 1903 charter members were: Mrs. Thorstein Sahl, Mrs.
E. O. Engesather, Mrs. A. L. Berness, Mrs. Enoch Anderson and Mrs. Syver Hanson.
Added to Life Membership for earlier years were: Mrs. Ole Eidsness, Mrs. Helena
Thompson, Mrs. Ole Skedsvold, Mrs. Hans Olson, Mrs. Arne Stratmoen and Mrs. John
Engesather.

    In 1950 we became United Lutheran Ladies Aid. In 1961 we divided into
circles but retained our Ladies Aid which we now call the American Lutheran
Church Women. Our present officers are: Mrs. Albert Moilenen, chairman; Mrs.
Robert Kangas, vice chairman; Mrs. Albert Honkola, secretary; Mrs. Gordon
Matejcek, treasurer; Mrs. Norman Brodal, stewardship secretary and Mrs. Lyle
Sundeen, education secretary.
