Finnish-American Club 65th Anniversary Celebration

We're celebrating our 65th year of our organization.  At it's very root it is a social and charitable organization - initially to provide support to the Finnish Orphans relief organizations after the Finnish - Russian War.  The bonds made during that time lead to the forming of what is now the Finnish-American Club.  Dances, dinners and other social events were held to raise funds for a variety of charitable causes.  We still keep our connections with our heritage by holding many event through the season - October - May.  We continue our Nickel Bingo on Thursdays throughout the year.

Our celebration will be a tribute to our past with refreshments that virtually come out of the Finnish Coffee Table tradition.  We look forward to your attendance!
