DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, March 16\n4:00 pm – 7:00 pm\nChrist Church Lutheran\nMinneapolis\, MN \nFREE\n \nYou’ve heard of Saint Patrick — but Saint Urho?\nThe tongue-in-cheek legend of Saint Urho says he chased the grasshoppers out of Finland by uttering the phrase Heinäsirkka heinäsirkka\, mene täältä (roughly translated “Grasshopper grasshopper\, go to hell!”). The grasshoppers were decimating the grape crop. \n \nIn the end\, the day offers all of us — Irish\, Finnish\, and everyone else — an occasion for a good party! \nJoin the Ameriikan Poijat brass band with guest vocalists Eeva Savolainen and Elina Koivusaari and organist Megan Engel in concert. Dance music at the reception will be led by the Finnish folk music band Lauluaika. Don’t miss this afternoon of merriment — including dancing\, singing\, a pea soup cook-off contest\, and more! \nThe event is co-sponsored by Christ Church Lutheran and the Finnish American Association.

SUMMARY:Finnish Genealogy Group of MN Monthly Meetings
DESCRIPTION:9:00 AM: Log On\n9:30 AM: Business Meeting\n10:15 AM: Speaker \nZoom \nSaturday\, March 8\, 2025 \nEvery Object Tells a Story \nOur March presenter\, Sirpa Tuomainen\, in her own words\, “I’ve always enjoyed visiting Finnish & Finnish-American homes as it’s been fascinating to discover what kinds of Finnish objects people have and are displaying. Different generations have different styles\, but there seem to always be certain staples. It had been my longtime dream to investigate this more closely\, and I was finally able to do it. My goal in this project was to explore why people have kept these particular artifacts\, how these items relate to their Finnishness\, and how this all comes through via the narratives they’ve shared with me.” \nLearn more about the Finnish Genealogy Group at FGGMN.ORG. Complete the contact form on our website if you are interested in sampling a meeting. \nEstablished in the mid-1990s\, the Finnish Genealogy Group of Minnesota (FGGMN) is dedicated to fostering connections and facilitating genealogical research for individuals passionate about exploring their Finnish ancestry. Open to all\, our non-profit group serves as a vibrant community where like-minded individuals with Finnish heritage converge\, providing a platform to exchange knowledge\, share experiences\, and forge lifelong friendships.
