Finnladies of Chicagoland is a non-political social club based in the Chicago metropolitan area. The purpose of the club is to maintain Finnish language among the members and promote Finnish culture. The Finnladies of Chicagoland club was actively involved with the Finnish Expatriate Parliament driving the dual/multi citizenship initiative in Finland . The club started following the publishing of

a book, authored by Maire Hillman, a Finnish woman living in Chicago . This became the seed for a group of Finnish women to get together as a book club in the 1970s. Later, in 1980, the book club evolved into the Finnladies of Chicagoland. Club activities are managed by an elected Board. Club members gather once a month at members’ homes to exchange news from Finland and to spread Finnish know-how. There are, however, no meetings in June, July, August and December. Meetings and communications are conducted in Finnish. Finnladies on Chicagon alueella toimiva epäpoliittinen sosiaalinen yhdistys. Kerhon tarkoituksena on ylläpitää jäsentensä suomen kielen taitoa ja tukea suomalaiseen kulttuuriin liittyvää toimintaa alueellamme. Finnladies osallistui aktiivisesti Ulkosuomalaisparlamentin toimintaan kaksois- tai monikansalaisuuden hyväksymiseksi Suomessa. Finnladies sai alkunsa, kun ryhmä suomalaisia naisia kokoontui Chicagossa asuneen Maire Hillmanin julkaistua kirjan. Tämä johti kirjakerhon perustamiseen 1970-luvulla. Kerhosta muodostui Finnladies vuonna 1980. Kerholla on säännot ja jäsenten valitsema johtokunta. Finnladies-kerho kokoontuu kuukausittain jäsenten kotona. Kokouksia ei kuitenkaan pidetä kesä-, heinä-, elo-, ja joulukuussa. Finnladies-yhdistyksen kokoukset ja kirjeenvaihto käydään suomeksi.

Yesterday we continued the tradition to decorate the Finnish Christmas tree at the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. Always a wonderful and welcoming scene.
I brought two of the third generation to experience the tradition and hopefully they will continue as long as the museum does .

Tämän syksyn ensimmäinen tapaaminen aivan mahtavalla kattoterassilla, kirkas auringonpaiste ( mutta ei liian kuuma ) ja upeat maisemat Chicagon kaupunkiin ! Tällä kertaa miehetkin olivat tervetulleita mukaan. Kiitos Paula ja Pauli , oli herkulliset grillijuhlat !

This autumn’s first get-together was on the fantastic rooftop with a beautiful bright sunshine ( luckily not too hot) and a marvelous scenery to the city! This time we had some of the husbands joining us also . Thank you Paula and Pauli … what a treat and the grilling was delicious!
