You can learn how to serve on Saturday and Sunday by signing up to observe. That is the easiest way to learn how to fulfill your commitment to the House of Sweden.

Pictures from the 2018 Midsummer Festival

House of Sweden celebrated the summer solstice with a traditional Midsummer festival June 24, 2018. We set up the midsummer pole in the morning, served Swedish Meatballs and struvor. After the stage show, we danced around the midsummer pole.

It is time to renew your membership for 2019

The time of year for renewing your membership at the House of Sweden (HOS) is rapidly approaching. Please pay the 2019 membership fee ($20 for individual membership and $30 for family membership) before December 31, 2018 either by paypal or by sending a check to our Membership Chair (see address at the end of this e-mail). It is important that you notify HOS at the time of payment if any of your contact information has changed. Otherwise HOS will include the information we have on file in the Member Directory which will be sent out via mail in January to all members.

Because we have had a hard time finding hosts for the weekends at the cottage, we are trying something new:

When you renew your membership for 2019 we are asking you to please sign up to volunteer for a minimum of two days in 2019. Here is a link to sign-up to volunteer. If every member signs up to host at the cottage two days during the year we will have all weekends covered. In the event that you are unable to make one of the days you committed to host, please arrange for a replacement by contacting someone in the Member Directory.

Please note that the City is mandating all cottages to stay open both Saturday and Sunday every weekend for five hours each day and imposes a penalty of $100 each time this requirement is not met. After multiple fines we would risk losing our cottage. We are implementing this new policy to ensure that we will be able to keep our cottage open.

Please sign up to volunteer and together we will ensure the survival of House of Sweden San Diego.

Thank you so much!
