  In honor of the club's 90th Anniversary we will visit another celebrant - Queen Sonja's home! Her parents began building the home in 1934 and it was moved to Maihaugen--a lovely open air museum in Lillehammer--in 2018. 

  We will meet at Maihaugen at 11. For those taking the train, the RE10 at 8:59 from Oslo will get you there with enough time to walk up to the museum. 

  Tickets are NOK 165 and can be purchased when we get to the museum (https://maihaugen.no/planlegg-besoek/billetter). If we have enough registrants, Christina will contact the museum for the discounted group rate. 

  We have also booked a table at Hvelvet (https://hvelvet.no/) at 5 pm for those wishing to grab a bite together before heading back to Oslo.

  Join us for the 3rd Annual Tribute to Casey Kasem , legendary radio personality and voice actor, on what would have been his birthday, 92nd birthday (b. 1932).

  Kasem, who passed away in 2014, is buried in Oslo, Norway, which may seem like an unexpected final resting place for an American icon.

  and here:

  On this special occasion, friend of the club Christian Sømme will act as our tour guide as we meet at Vestre gravlund (Monolitveien entrance, across from Skøyen skole) and make our way to Kasem's unmarked grave. Feel free to bring a little flag (American or Norwegian) or perhaps some small flowers to adorn the grave. We can take a moment to remember Kasem's contributions to the world of radio and his dedication to promoting a love of music.

  After visiting the grave, we will enjoy some cake and bubbles!

  Please register so we know how many bubbles we need.

  To get you in the mood, you can find vintage Casey Kasem America Top 40 broadcasts for the 1970s here: https://archive.org/details/casey-kasems-american-top-40-the-70shttps://archive.org/details/casey-kasems-american-top-40-the-70s; and here for the 1980s here: https://archive.org/details/casey-kasems-american-top-40-the-80s.
