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!
Summer is up and running. With June coming to an end, there were many great events this past month. The Family Picnic was a great time. Father’s Day breakfast was delicious, with many thanks to our Woman’s Auxiliary volunteers.
As we enter July, we are asking everyone to please support our biggest fundraiser “Kick In For Cancer”.
We also have a July membership drive. Check calendar for details.
Wishing everyone a happy and safe 4th of July!
Thank you!
Aaron Aaronson
