•  We are not asking for money for SOS.  Rather, we ask for  your participation.
• We ask that you care about the future of the Swedish Club, that you bring curiosity, respect, and kindness to the Club, and that you attend the Club's monthly members' meetings. You do not have to buy dinner to attend these meetings.
• We ask that you seek to be informed about Club policies and finances. Act respectfully if you are not getting answers from the Club and Club leadership you believe you deserve.
• Insist that you be able to vote for the person of your own choice at any election.
• Take courage and speak up at Members' Meetings and at Board and various committee meetings. Do so respectfully and with an open mind. Bring your curiosity, tolerance, and your common sense. Contribute you ideas. Be willing to ask questions. Listen to others who participate in the discussions. Reflect and reexamine your views.
• Volunteer to help the Club in whatever capacity fits your passion and serves the Club.
• Donate to the Club or the Foundation, or both.

•  Attend the monthly members' meetings.  Usually the meetings have been scheduled on the same evening of the monthly Members' Dinner following the guest speaker or program. You are not required to buy dinner to attend the meeting that follows.  
• Attend Swedish Club Board meetings, as well as the Finance, Building and Property, and Governance and Bylaws Committee meetings, to listen, learn, and comment. Often these are virtual meetings such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams.       
• You  have the right to be informed. Email your request to be a guest for virtual Board and committee meetings like Zoom or Microsoft Teams to info@swedishclubnw.org. Check the most recent Swedish Club News to see if there is a different email address you should use to arrange to attend virtually.  Often the meetings are held in person and not virtually. Look at the Swedish Club News for the dates and times of meetings. If the schedule is not clear, call the Swedish Club at 206.283.1090 or email  info@swedishclubnw.org.   
• Please time your request to attend Board and committee meetings early so you do not overburden the staff of the Club.
