Torskeklubben

Torskeklubben was founded in 1933 by Arne Fremmegaard. Torskeklubben's original goal was to lend aid to Norway after World War II in addition to forming a club of Norwegians to gather and converse in their native language.

Torskeklubben is a non-profit club which gives scholarship aid to students wishing to study at the University of Minnesota Graduate School.

Torskeklubben meets the first Saturday of the month during the winter months at Interlachen Country Club in Edina. A lunch is server which includes torske with a boiled potato, melted butter, and aqua vit. There is usually a guest speaker and suits and ties are required.
