Swiss Club of Chicago

Another fun Swiss Club of Chicago ski weekend is in the books. Despite warm temperatures, the snow was good and allowed for a nice lunch outside. As always, a dinner at Chalet Landhaus Inn & Restaurant concluded the day ⛷️ ☀️ 🍻

🎉 The Swiss Club of Chicago hosted its 69th Annual Meeting, followed by our Fondue Event and Raffle, for the very first time at the wonderful Kenilworth Assembly Hall!

🧀🎟️ We had fantastic raffle prizes generously donated by many amazing sponsors who continue to support our club.

🙏 A huge thank you to everyone who attended, all our sponsors, and especially the extended club board who made this event possible!

A big thank you to the board members of the Swiss club to take the decorations down from the Christmas tree at the Museum of Science in Chicago.

We enjoyed a wonderful Raclette event at the Niedersachsen Club house. Melting fantastic raclette cheese from Emmi Roth USA after a healthy appetizer and followed by Apfelstrudle with vanilla sauce
Thanks to all who had a part in the success of the evening.
