Our summer Swedish language classes start the week of June 18. Average class size is eight to 12 students. Several levels of instruction; expert teachers. One of them, Laura Wideburg, literally wrote the book for once-a-week language students—Swedish: The Basics. Print a registration form and and bring it to your first class.
Help the SCC maintain its social media presence! We’re looking for the donation of an iPad (with WiFi capability and onboard camera) to speed things up for our Facebook coordinator, Tess. Currently she’s using a 6-year-old computer that’s on its last legs. Perhaps you’ve upgraded to the latest and greatest iPad and have an earlier-generation one you can spare? If you can donate an iPad, please Remember, we’re a 501(c)(3) organization, so your generosity comes back to you in the form of a tax deduction!
SCC member Karen Choyce made her Space Needle hat to wear to “Seattle in the ’60s,” the Swedish club’s 50th anniversary auction last fall. But she put it on again to wear to the Space Needle’s 50th anniversary. Karen was a hit with the print media, including The Seattle Times, which published her on the front of its NW section, and two television channels that interviewed her. In addition Karen reported that probably at least 200 people asked her to pose for photos. Hey Karen, what are you wearing to “Dancing with Swedish Stars” this fall?
We’re looking for musicians (piano, guitar, fiddle, accordion, etc.) to help set the mood at our Friday Kafé, from noon to 2 p.m. We’ll put out the tip jars for you during lunch, and provide you with meal tickets for either the Kafé or a pancake breakfast. Are you up for it? Contact We hope to find enough musicians to cover every Friday with each person or group playing once a month. We’d love to enjoy your music.
