Nordic Northwest’s Community Spotlights celebrate the valuable contributions, enthusiasm, and achievements of members in the Nordic community. Thank you to all of our dedicated and supportive community members!
Susan Naanes has been an enthusiastic and dedicated volunteer with Nordic Northwest since becoming a member in 2021. Over the years, she has contributed to numerous events and committees, including the Nordic Vintage & Treasure Sale, ScanFair, Viking Beer Fest, and the Nordic Coffee Hour, as well as providing lunches for the Ole Bolle Troll construction crew.
She currently serves on the Nordic Cuisine Committee, where she enjoys preparing recipes and planning culinary events. She loves volunteering because it connects her with new people and allows her to explore Scandinavian culture, food, and language.
Originally from Champaign, IL, Susan, the youngest of three sisters, earned her Computer Science degree from the University of Alaska in 1982. After retiring in 2016 from Providence Health Plan, she has more free time to follow her passions and hobbies. Susan loves sewing, hiking, fishing, cooking, and traveling. She is also active in fighting for climate justice, volunteering for Washington County Tree Keepers, Elsie Stuhr Center, and other local causes.
Susan’s favorite Nordic holiday is Syttende Mai (Norwegian Constitution Day) because of its celebration of freedom, and her favorite word in Norwegian is "kjaerlighet," meaning love and affection. Inspired by her daughter Debi, Susan continues to learn and stay connected to her Scandinavian roots and hopes to visit Iceland one day.
Thank you, Susan, for your all of your help and support!
For Indian students planning to study medicine abroad, one of the first questions is: How much are MBBS fees in Georgia?
In 2026, the tuition fee for an English-medium medical program at many established universities in Georgia generally falls between USD 6,000 and USD 8,000 per year. Since medical programs usually run for six years, students can expect total tuition fees of approximately USD 36,000 to USD 48,000 for the complete course, depending on the university.
I found this post very interesting and easy to understand. Recently, I started exploring tradingview, and this article answered several questions I had about market analysis. It is always refreshing to read content that focuses on practical learning instead of unnecessary technical language. Keep up the great work.
Una bonita forma de reconocer a quienes fortalecen la comunidad con su tiempo y dedicación. La historia de Susan inspira por su compromiso con el voluntariado, la cultura nórdica y el aprendizaje continuo. Mientras leía recordé Tu Chance Hoy, pero lo que más destacó fue el valor de servir y apoyar a los demás con entusiasmo.
It’s so wonderful to see Susan being recognized for her contributions! Celebrating our community members is so important. If you're ever planning a celebration party, you should definitely check out Hear me out to create some really unique and fun cake designs.
