Our community is important to us

The Norsemen Motorcycle Club has a rich heritage spanning over 50 years.  The Norsemen membership is comprised of members from all across Minnesota. As a result, we are proud supporters of several communities we call home.

The following is a partial list of community service we are proud to have taken part in over years past.

Norsemen make donation to Kanabec County First Responder Team

January 11, 2007 Fred Holm delivered a $2,000 donation check to the county wide First Responder Team unique in Minnesota. The idea behind the First Responder team is to have trained responders on the alert and easy to go in every township in the county and even in a five mile radius beyond that, when there's a nearby medical emergency, thus dramatically cutting down response time. It is estimated they will need $20,000 to get the program off the ground. There is a need for training, jump bags, radios, and the biggest expense would be repeater tower communication equipment needed in the northern part of the county.

Norsemen make donation to help out the Dalbo Fire Department

On Friday March 3, 2006 Dale Greenwald presented the Dalbo Fire Department with a $2,000 check. The funds will help pay for the Fire Department's new Polaris Ranger Rescue Vehicle

Norsemen make donation to help out Injured Rider

Dave Kott: Dave Kott was injured May 28, 2006 and is currently paralyzed from the chest down. $500 was donated to the Dave Kott Benefit Fund to help defray medical costs.

There will be a benefit for Dave Kott on August 22, 2006. It will be a 3 hour dinner cruise boarding in Stillwater, MN. Tickets are $20.00 paid ahead. Contact Maggi Weinhagen 763-263-5835 if your interested. Silent auction items are valued over $14,000 so far. Everything has been donated so Dave will get the full $20.00 which will be put to use modifying his home to make it wheelchair compatible.

Motion was made to donate $500 to the Michelle Schreiner relief fund with a challenge to other clubs to do the same. Michelle was air lifted from the Mazeppa Hare Scrambles with serious head injuries. Michelle was in charge of all the parking for the Monticello event this year which is no easy task! Motion passed.

Motion was made to donate $500 to Autistic Alzheimer's organization for tracking devices in New Brighton as part of a pilot program. Motion passed.

Mora Library Donation - A thank you note was received and read from the Mora library. The greatly appreciated the donation. There was a small article in the local paper about the donation in recognition of the Norsemen Motorcycle Club.
