Club Update – November 2008

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!
