One of the objectives and goals of the Swedish Club of Houston is to locate and join together people interested in Swedish heritage (Swedes, Swedish descendants, and others) in the Houston area, primarily through informal events and get-togethers, social as well as cultural.
The Club currently counts just under 120 members who meet at various events throughout the year, such as the annual Pea Soup and Pancakes supper, Kräftskiva (Crayfish Party), Valborgsmässoafton (Bonfire), Smörgåsbord, and Christmas Traditions/Lucia program, as well as special events centered around cultural happenings.

Movie Night 5/18/2013 - As It Is In Heaven |
|
 The Swedish Club of Houston will be hosting its first-ever Movie Night on Saturday, May 18, next to Valhalla (Rice University's Graduate Student Pub, not the great hall in Norse mythology where Odin receives the souls of heroes fallen bravely in battle), under the stars.
We will be showing As It Is In Heaven, in Swedish with English subtitles. This movie was nominated for Best Foreign Film at the 2005 Academy Awards (click here to view the trailer). And, unlike Norse mythology, you don’t have to die in battle to arrive at Valhalla; you just have to find your way to the west side of Keck Hall, the chemistry building (click here for a campus map if you need one)! The parking rate in the Greenbriar Lot is $1 per entry per day, the parking rate in the other visitor lots is $1 per 12 minutes, $11 max per day.
Doors will open at 6 pm 7:30 pm, and we will start showing the movie between 8:10 pm and 8:30 pm (i.e. as soon as it's dark enough). Light refreshments will be available; beer, wine and soft drinks will be available for purchase from Valhalla. Click here to let us know you're coming (there's no charge for this event; this is just for planning purposes)! See you there! |

As everyone knows, Continental Airlines is no more (and, as a result, we have lost our sponsor of Lucia's airfare from Houston to Sweden). Thus, it becomes incumbent upon the members of the Club to step up and donate to support the long-standing tradition of the Club of sending its Lucia to Sweden. A number of sponsorship levels are available:
