Swedish/Scandinavian Resources in ABQ (Albuquerque: university, living in, club)

[hajenkatt]

Our family is moving to ABQ this autumn. My husband and children are Swedish, and we were wondering if anyone had any Swedish connections or resources they could point out way? Our initial research shows there to be very little in the way of Swedish language, etc. so I thought I would ask here if you had any advice. I was hoping someone had a Swedish connection either through the university or personally. We are looking to keep our children's language skills up to par and to connect with any Scandinavians in the area. Thanks!

Thanks, Rich. I've actually been through their site and all their contact information comes back as undeliverable. I see they have a membership registration form, but I'd like to know if the group is active before forking over any money.

Doesn't seem to have much activity on their site, but I found their April Newletter.

It has a bunch of contact information on it for all their leadership so you could try to get in touch with them.

Thanks so much! I'd missed that link!

Hejsan Hajenkatt!
I stayed in Albuquerque for 6 months last fall. I did a research exchange at Sandia National Labs while being employed in Sweden. After being back in Sweden I ended up taking a job position in the US. I ended up in Idaho. I really liked it in Albuquerque and I would not mind moving back.

If you want a Swedish woman's perspective of living in Albuquerque - if only temporarily - you are more than welcome to contact me.

What brings you and your family to Albuquerque?

Vänliga hälsningar,
