MONTHLY NEWS & UPDATES
APRIL 2021
Greetings,
Traditionally Spring is greeted by song and bonfires in Sweden but in 2021 no public gatherings are held and Swedes will have to find other ways to celebrate. April 30 is the Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf's birthday and also the night of the big Spring bonfire known as Valborg (Walpurgis Eve).

We hope you will join us next week for our Virtual Networking event. Just like the Mixology event in the Fall and our recent Trivia event we are co-hosting with several other SACC Regional chambers and it will be a fun evening with great opportunities to network with SACC members across the US. Erik Andersson, Brand Ambassador for Hendrix Gin, will host our virtual interactive happy hour.

Regards,
Ida Pond
Executive Director SACC GA
