  • 'Vårlunch' - SWEA Scholarship Luncheon in Boston. The annual luncheon took place at Scandinavian Living Center and offered an opportunity to meet and see fellow members before the rush of early summer.

  • Spring has sprung in New England and the cultural center at Waltham's Scandinavian Living Center was decorated accordingly.
  • SWEA-kören lead by choirmaster Christina Lampe-Önnerud welcomed the guests with Swedish melodies and created a cheerful atmosphere. SWEA Boston also presented their annual scholarship of $7,000, awarded to three young women from the New England Universities, to enable studies and research in Sweden. The Scholarships are created through SWEA's annual fundraiser, "Swedish Yuletide - The SWEA Fair and Holiday Celebration".
