Gary Panttila is a Lead Trainer at the Shannon St YMCA. 520-229-9001 Not only
a champion in his own right but he has trained champions. Since 2004 Gary

His goal is to be a world champion and a gold medalist if possible. Another Finn on
a quest. We wish him well.
Marissa, age 14, was awarded a partial scholarship by our club to attend the Salolampi Finnish Language Camp Summer 2008. She wrote the following:
“In Bemidji, MN, there are language camps sponsored by the Concordia College. I attended the Finnish Language Camp for a week. Going to Salolampi was the coolest experience I have had! Starting with flying alone without my mother and eating all my meals where only Finnish was spoken — was amazing.
I got to experience being ’submerged’ into a Finnish world. We would go to language classes all morning where I actually was able to understand and speak quite a bit Finnish. We sang songs in Finnish, went to a dance, went to arts & crafts where Finnish was also spoken, and we got to buy things with euros.
I spent Juhannus (Midsummer) with an actual bonfire by the lake where it was cold, instead of 100 degrees as in Tucson.
All of this made a difference in how I think about being Finnish. I hope to return to camp next summer and to learn to speak Finnish fluently.”
Join us for traditional entertainment on stage. Traditional food, drinks, and handicrafts will be for sale from us and many other European clubs. Support your club. We have pulla and other items for sale.
