UPCOMING EVENTS
Third Thursday – January 15, 2009
Welcome in the New Year and help start Third Thursday off with a bang in 2009.
We are happy to announce we will be at Hilton Slussen for the first half (January to June) of 2009.

Thursday, January 15, 2009 from 5:30-7:30p.m.
Price: 150SEK (Includes two beverages and appetizers.
Please bring cash – sorry, we can not accept cards.)
There are directions to the hotel here and this month we are going to be in the Hornsgatan Lounge (same as October 2008) which can be reached via the main hotel entrance or directly from Hornsgatan (next to the restaurant/bar Akkurat). From the main Hilton entrance take the stairs down one floor, walk past the gym entrance and then take the elevators back up one floor. There should be signs to help you along.
Look forward to seeing you there!
Third Thursday – December 18, 2008
To close out the 2008 Third Thursday season we are going to have a relaxed holiday mingle. At an American style bar with Swedish drinks on tap, come join us as we enjoy an evening at O'Learys Bar & Restaurant at Stockholm's Central Station.
We have reserved an area called "The Lounge" with couches and tables for members and guests to visit, relax, reflect on the year past and look forward to the year ahead. Admission is free, drinks and food can be purchased with the bar staff – so please stop by!
Thursday, December 18, 2008 from 5:30-8:30p.m.
Price: No charge for admission. Pay the bar for food and beverages.
Central Station, Vasagatan, Stockholm

Club Update – November 2008
The Board of Directors of The American Club of Sweden sends a warm Thanksgiving Day greeting to you and your loved ones. Whether you are celebrating the day with the traditional turkey and mashed potatoes, possibly joining the 15 Club volunteers who are serving dinner this afternoon to 50+ homeless people at Stockholm Stadsmission, or just going to work as usual, we encourage you to take a quiet minute to reflect on the many riches we all have. Both Sweden and America have much to be thankful for, no matter how difficult we might think we have it at times.
Happy Thanksgiving!
