If you ever find yourself in Chicago the second Saturday of the
month, and you have a craving for some Torsk, the solution may be a visit
to the Chicago Torske Klub. -
Stavanger Aftenblad - 26 May 2006
Welcome to the Chicago Torske Klub Web Site at torskeklub.org! It's
good to be in Chicago on the second Saturday of the month. We will update
this monthly for current events and dinner meeting news.
September 14, 2023 - Torske Klub September Reboot
Regroup after a summer break to enjoy the torske. We have opted not to get a speaker this month, but rather to pass the microphone. Bring a story or recollection to tell.
September 8, 2023 - Scandinavian Day at Vasa Park
The annual festival takes place on the 8th. The Chicago Torske Klub will have a table there. Join us or at least stop by.

We continue to watch the COVID-19 situation. Although our Vaxxes and the nature of it has decreased, 2024 has seen an increase again. We are obligated to follow state and local rules for separation and masking if needed, as well as any requirements of the Elk's Club on the day of the luncheon. We know that the Elks are anxious to see us, and we understand that seating may be a little more spaced for them and us. We rely on your good judgement at the luncheon.
