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.
Welcome to fall! Thank you to everyone for a great summer. We had several events that I hope everyone got to enjoy. Thank you to all the volunteers, chairpeople, and spectators at the events.
Just because summer has ended doesn’t mean the fun is over. We have a Murder Mystery dinner, Oktoberfest Chili Cook-off with first-time ever wiener dog races, and Kids Halloween Party.
Herring, pasta, fish frys, and skillets are back! Hope to keep the good times rolling!
As always, stay safe and check on your friends and family. You never know when someone may need an extra hand!
