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.
The holidays are upon us and I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! The cold is creeping in as well, so keep your eyes and ears open for neighbors and loved ones. It only takes a few seconds to say hi.
Thank you to the 17 contestants in the Chili Cook-Off, all the vendors, and wiener dogs. The crowd was amazing!.
Thank you to all the volunteers for the Trunk or Treat. It’s a great feeling seeing all the kids happy!
