Finnish-American Club

Finnish-American Club 1949 We cherish our heritage by remembering those things which exemplify our Finnish American experience. Volunteerism is important to our club.

Present members remember what they learned from significant influences in their early years. Many others learn what modern day Finland is like by interaction with recent emigrants, relatives, visitors or media presentations. We remember particular events in the Finland of yesterday that our ancestors brought with them when they came to the "New World". We celebrate as many events as we can, restri

cted only in the amount of time our members can share by volunteering. Events in the history of Finland, such as Independence Day (when Finland was granted freedom from Russia), Laskiainen - a traditional ski holiday, St. Urho's Day - (our patron saint’s special day), Vappu - a spring holiday are celebrated yearly. We also get together to share our talents, a “Finn Hall” experience. We follow a rich tradition of member participation in programs as in the early years of this hall. Recitations, musical offerings by individuals and groups such as our own Finnish-American Club chorus are frequently presented to an appreciative audience. With membership in our organization, we greet you warmly and look forward to many shared events along the way. A successful organization cannot function without the willingness of members to share in the everyday needs. This place was built with "sweat equity". Some of the original members, artisans in all walks of life, willing to give of the time, talents, energy and money built what we now share and maintain. "The club was incorporated as a non-profit group to promote social life in the community to undertake and perform civic projects, provide wholesome entertainment for members and their guests and to provide a meeting place for the intellectual benefit and advancement of the Club members"... a majority of persons interested in learning about and keeping alive the Finnish culture. Any further questions??? Let us know how we can improve your experience at the Finnish-American Club. Volunteers are always welcome to share their talents and expertise.
