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, All!
We sure have had a fun filled summer with many great events. We have many more to come, including the Scotty Runyard Memorial Car Show on the 19th, and the Pig Roast Labor Day weekend. Come on out and enjoy YOUR park! What a beautiful place.
Keep showing up, keep volunteering—your support has made us one of the BEST clubs in the area! The 2027 volunteer book will be available soon. We love to see new faces.
