A Word from the Presidents
Hej alla,
Today is December 13th and Lucia is celebrated in Sweden and if you want to join in the celebration, you can visit the Swedish Church here in LA, traditional Swedish Luica treats, “Glögg” and “Lussebulle”, will be served.
Also, this Sunday is one of my favorite LA Holiday traditions, SWEA’s Christmas Fair and they will celebrate Luica with songs and lots of fun. View the information further down in this newsletter. And if you are curious about the Swedish Lucia tradition you will probably enjoy this short and funny video.
I also want to send out a thousand thanks to a thousand fans! SACC-LA just reached another milestone when we passed 1000 likes on our Facebook Page. Fantastic to see our social media network growing.
Glad Lucia !!
