MONTHLY NEWS & UPDATES

October 2023

Last week we enjoyed a visit from Swedish/Ukrainian company Beetroot. Andreas Flodstrom, founder and CEO, told us the story of how Beetroot was founded and how he led a company through crisis when the war in Ukraine erupted. We later had a chance to visit further with Andreas and his Beetroot colleague at our SACC GA Q3 Happy Hour. Thank you to everyone who joined us for great conversations and connections.

SACC GA is thrilled to yet again host our joint annual Golf Tournament. I am looking forward to seeing so many of our regular participants as well as several new teams this year. It looks like we will have beautiful weather tomorrow for our tournament and I could not agree more with the below quote.

“I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”

We are also thrilled to announce that Long Drive champion Sandra Carlborg will be in Atlanta later this month for the ​​Tour - World Long Drive Championship. Please see our interview with Sandra here.

Any day is a great day to enjoy a Swedish sweet treat, but October 4 is Kanelbullens Dag (Cinnamon Bun Day) in Sweden. See below video for a great recipe for those of you who want to bake your own Swedish cinnamon buns.
