The Anniversary Party will feature authentic Scandinavian cuisine (with a choice of North Atlantic salmon from Norway, pork tenderloin medallions or char-grilled top sirloin steak) and some traditional Danish music and sing-along songs. Reservations are necessary to Jan Glintborg at 847-742-6158 or email: jwetherbe@aol.com
