This promises to be the first ever joint event between DSC and the vaunted Norwegian Club of SF, of which famed antarctic explorer Roald Amundsen was once a member. In honor of this joint event between these two clubs, the Norwegian and Danish flags will both proudly fly side-by-side from DSC's two flagpoles on Kastania Road. In addition, the noon flag-raising will feature both the Norwegian and Danish national anthems.
Honored Guest Speaker:
