Hope, Celebration Togetherness

A thank you from the American Swedish Institute

As we enter a new year, we want to say thank you to our members, donors, and volunteers who sustained us throughout a year of many uncertainties, but also moments of hope, celebration, and togetherness.

This past year, the American Swedish Institute was able to return to a sense of normalcy and welcome back signature events, programs, and gatherings that were greatly missed throughout pandemic-related closures. We eagerly re-opened our doors to the public and found creative ways to bring back cherished traditions. Our youngest visitors explored the Turnblad Mansion during Kids at the Castle, lifelong learners developed new handcraft skills in community with other makers, and visitors arrived at ASI to celebrate Midsommar and Jul — many for the first time.

These moments of learning, discovery, and community provided glimmers of hope during what has otherwise been a challenging and uncertain time. We gratefully received membership renewals, contributions, and gifts of time from members, donors, and volunteers both near and far.

Because of your support, these moments of community that are at the core of our mission to be a gathering place for all people, were possible. Thank you for your generosity and investment in our community.

“ASI has enriched and expanded this year for us.” — Kristen Stuenkel, ASI Member
