The lodge has sponsered an annual bowling tournament followed by a Dinner/Dance Banquet open to all Sons of Norway members and their friends, held each November and affectionately called "Florida Takke Fest", with the net proceeds going to a charity in the area: such as The Dawn Center, Migrant Workers, Hospice.
Sun Viking lodge is proud that it has a number of programs to promote the culture and heritage of Norway within the lodge and neighborhood.We are involved in the "Adopt a School Program" where members assist teachers as tutors. Our lodge has created a "Barnes Norsk Club" where children learn Norwegian culture through stories, music, cooking, sewing and other crafts.
