It is important in raising your children that they learn of the family traditions, not to mention language, of your family's culture. However, it is not easy to do all this on your own. There are several groups in the area that help families teach the traditions and language of their culture. Below is a list of these groups. If you know of any others that are not listed, please let me know.
Little Vikings - yahoo groups that provides a community of e-mail updates for Swedish-speaking families as well as standing playdate on Fridays at various parks on the Penninsula.
