Anne Grimdalen Lodge #34 was founded on February 22, 1987, in Cupertino, California. The lodge participates in the larger Scandinavian community activities in the Bay Area. Members attend programs at the Norwegian Seaman's Church and other venues in San Francisco. They have an annual Christmas Luncheon and enjoy other group activities around the year.

The lodge meets the second Saturday of most months at 10 AM at Sunny View Retirement Community at 22449 Cupertino Road in Cupertino, California. For more information about lodge activities, contact the lodge.

This lodge was named for a noted woman sculpter, who was born in 1899 in the Telemark region of Norway. Anne Grimdalen studied art in Oslo, and in 1931, her statue "Girl on a Horse" was bought by the Norwegian National Gallery. She later won a national competition, and three of her pieces were selected to decorate the newly built City Hall in Oslo. She created large pieces of sculpter based not only on historic themes, but also on nature and common people.
