Raffle Update

Cecil B DeWater and Steve Spielfarb gave a quick thumbnail of progress on the club’s raffle. “We’re moving along, but the weeks are dwindling. Turn in your sales and keep the momentum going!”

Steve called former member Hans Giner forward to re-live a fellowship activity they shared about eight years ago. Goldfarb remembers being invited to the Giner home for a celebration of Swedish New Years. Steve and Fredda entered the Giner home, into the living room, which was devoid of furniture. In the middle of the room was a punch bowl. The invitees stood around the room, making trips to the bowl. Goldfarb recalled "the punch had a pretty good kick.”

Then entered Hans, who welcomed all, and threw open the door to the family room, where appetizers and other delights awaited the crowd. Back to the living area, before moving to the dining area for a memorable sit-down dinner of famous Swedish dishes. To cap off the evening, the crowd joined in singing some Swedish holiday songs, including “HellenGore” (sic), which is a Viking Fight Song. Hans and Steve demonstrated the tune to the delight of the audience.

Hans left Bellevue seven years ago for assignments in Singapore for three years and the Netherlands for four. He is glad to be back in the Puget Sound region, looking to settle down for good.
