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.
With February already here, fingers crossed it will be a warmer month than January!
The next couple months have some important events pertaining to the club. Feb 8th will be the MEMBERSHIP drive. Doors open at 8 a.m. The number of openings will be posted on our FB page and at the Club. Please be mindful when sponsoring people to come into the Club. If there are additional openings, there will be a second drive in July. There will no longer be any signing a new member in between dates!
Sheets for new board positions have been posted. If you would like to run, please sign your name on the respective line. Please remember, you must be a member for a year and have NO FELONIES.
Happy Valentine’s Day to all the ladies.
Matt Allen
President
