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!
Pig Roast weekend was amazing! Thank you to all of our volunteers and staff. The weather was perfect, the food was delicious, and the drinks were cold. PERFECT! The weather, however, did not treat us well for the Car Show, so we had to reschedule for Oct 25. Fall is here and so is our Herring Breakfast, Pasta Dinner, Skillet Breakfast and Fish Fry’s! Please try to stop down and support these meals. We are always looking for more volunteers to step up and give a hand.
This Halloween we will be having our first pumpkin drop. “Smash” the Pumpkin will be falling from a crane and breaking open with tons of candy and toys for the kids. We will still be doing Trunk or Treat as well, which means the kids are going to get a boatload of candy! Hope to see everyone there!
