Summary
It made me realize again the need to live in the world of the present and to remember our different pasts.

At the spring Cleveland meeting, another Swedish Council's Award of Merit Dinner was held. Pictured at the top of this column are Terry and Sharon Carlson, Bo Carlsson, Viola Hjelm, Emilie Kaud-Hanson, Aina Lustig, and Betty Swenson Schaller.

Our 328 affiliate groups are eager in implementing this mission. If, as a reader of Nordic Reach, you wish to recognize a leader in your affiliate group, write to the Swedish Council, 2600 Park Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55407 or call toll free 1-800-981-4722 for information."What is more Swedish than "KAFFE MED KAKOR" on a beautiful, sunny Scandinavian afternoon?See the full content of this document
