The first SAHSWI Fika meeting of the year is soon coming up. We can then greet each other God Fortsättning. In Sweden, at this time of the year the common greeting when seeing somebody is “God Fortsättning” meaning “Wishing you a good continuation of the new year”. (You wish people “Gott Nytt År” (Happy New Year) on New Year’s Day.)

The Fika meeting is scheduled Saturday, January 24, 2026, starting at 1:30 PM in the Fellowship Hall, Martin Luther Lutheran Church, 9235 West Bluemound Road, Milwaukee located just east of the Milwaukee Zoo

Writer and Speaker Sherry Engstrom will present the program, a unique, immigration story she titled “Somewhere in England”.

After the presentation enjoy traditional Fika the Swedish way. If you can, bring a dish to share. Do you have a favorite Swedish recipe you want to share? If so, bring it and we can add it to the website Swedish Food Heritage page.
