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.
I hope everyone had a great holiday season. Thank you all for a wonderful year!
Now on to 2025. With the new year upon us, let me remind everyone to please watch your language at all SM&SF Club locations. Also remember, dues are due January 31st. NO EXCEPTIONS!!
Our next member drive will be February 8th. If we have additional openings, we will be doing another drive in July. There will no longer be monthly member sign-up.
If you are considering a board position in March, please remember you must be a member for one year from your start date to be eligible.
