The SM&SF Club was established in 1898 as the Swedish Music & Sick Fraternity. At that time, Swedish singing societies were popular in the Midwest, with singing competitions being held throughout the year. The early Swedish immigrants were also a strong ethnic group that took care of each other, both physically and financially, during times of illness and death.
Today, the SM&SF Club is a non-profit social club with membership that exceeds 600 members. It still maintains an old tradition of caring for the community by its annual “Kick-In for Cancer” fundraisers that have raised over $30,000 a year to benefit the local hospital’s oncology departments and our local hospice care providers.
Hello, Everyone!
The warmer weather is finally here, and with that brings some fun events. The SM&SF Family Picnic will be held June 8th. Come out for food trucks, raffles, inflatable races, and great music by Soul 2 Soul. On June 15th, Father’s Day breakfast will be served at our beautiful park, so bring Dad out for a great breakfast.
SM&SF BOOM is happening on June 28th. This event never fails to disappoint. I encourage anyone that hasn’t attended one, please come and check it out! Please keep supporting your club and cheers to a great summer.
Thank you!
Aaron Aaronson
President
