Finnish-American Club 65th Anniversary Celebration

The celebration of our 65th year looks at our past and share it at the club home.  We will share our traditional Finnish Coffee Table with numerous treats from the best recipes from the past! 

The beginnings of this club come from it's social and charitable endeavors immediately after WWII and the Finnish-Russian War.  They sent packages of clothing, etc. to the Finnish Orphanages.  Events such as dances, dinners, and  rummage/bake sales were the major sources to obtain the funds.  A permanent social and charitable club was formed in 1949.  Our community efforts still continue.  We still have dinners, breakfasts and Nickel Bingo to share with the community and charities.
