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.
Happy Holidays!
With this being the last newsletter of the year, I would like to thank all of the volunteers and our AMAZING staff for a spectacular 2025!
We definitely had many wonderful events this year. The SM&SF board of directors has worked all year long to ensure your club is the best around.
Don’t forget to check the calendar for all of our December events. We have had many volunteers working very hard to make the club and the lodge very festive for Christmas. Our club would not exist without all of you!
Don’t forget your annual dues are to be paid by January 31st. NO EXCEPTIONS!
May your holidays be merry and bright!
