Two Estate GiftsTotal $300,000By Joanne Bergman, President

During 2011, friends of Salolampi, thelate Elsie Kalionen and the late IrjaLindgren, each left bequests of $150,000to the Salolampi Foundation endow-ments. Members of the SalolampiFoundation are enormously grateful forthese gifts, which allowed us to add signifi-cant sums to the Foundation investmentportfolio and allowed us to award record lev-els of scholarship assistance to young vil-lagers. As a result of these and all 2011donations so generously directed toSalolampi, the current Foundation budgetfinds us more comfortably in the black as wefocus on the needs and programs of summer2012.

New!Helmi Nieminen PaloScholarshipsThe family of Helmi Nieminen Palo,Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, will launch agenerous $375 annual scholarship totwo 7–11 year-old one-week villagersthis summer. (See page 3 for a description.)

All 7–11-year-olds, whether registered or still to register, are eligible to fol-low the instructions and apply for one of the scholarships.Helmi’s daughter, Peggy Boyles writes this about her mother: “Helmi Sigrid Nieminen, was born on September 30, 1914, in Chicago,

Illinois. Her parents, Oscar and Tilda Makitalo Nieminen, were immigrantsfrom Finland. Helmi was very proud of her Finnish heritage, spoke Finnishfluently and maintained contact with family members in Finland. She cher-ished everything Finnish. Her home was filled with the aroma of Finnishpulla baking in the oven every weekend and with her stories of growing upin a Finnish community. It would be a great legacy to her to know that shewas supporting two young children each year in discovering the roots oftheir Finnish heritage.”

Terve, kaikki – my name is Susan(Susanna) Harstad, and I amexcited to take on my new roleas Salolampi's Director of AdultPrograms and Family FunWeekend, a position formerlyheld by Larry (Lauri) Saukko. Iwas a villager and credit villager atSalolampi from 1987–89, haveworked on Salolampi's summer staffin many different roles since 1990and have instructed duringSalolampi adult weeks and FamilyFun Weekends. My interest in Finnish language

and culture which began atSalolampi has shaped my life. Toearn a Masters Degree in ArtHistory (University of St. Thomas,St. Paul, Minnesota) I wrote myfinal paper on the work of threeFinnish women artists. Those of youI have met know that I'm a fan ofFinnish art, music and films, theFinnish brand Marimekko, and thelawn game mölkky. I am alsoSalolampi's self-proclaimed queenof birch bark (tuohikuningatar). Salolampi villagers who attend

year after year end up becominglifelong friends with staff members,cabin mates or classmates. I inviteyou to attend Salolampi's May orSeptember adult weeks or attendthe relaxed yet lively Finnish FamilyFun weekend each February overPresidents' Day weekend. Bringyour siblings, your spouse, yourchildren and grandchildren andyour friends. There is something foreveryone at Salolampi's sessions –Tervetuloa!

New Dean: Amy Tervola HultbergBy Gil Kinnunen

Meet the new Dean of the Salolampi Finnish Language Village. Amy (Iida)Tervola Hultberg, former villager and longtime staff member, succeeds Larry(Lauri) Saukko, who served as dean for 26 years and continues to serve on the staffof Concordia Language Villages. Amy is a native of New York Mills, Minnesota, and grew up in a Finnish house-

hold. Her parents, grandparents, and close relatives spoke Finnish. She has demon-strated a lifelong commitment to exploring her Finnish-American roots and promot-ing awareness of Finland today. At 15, she enrolled as a Salolampi villager for thefirst time. Over the years, Amy has attended Salolampi as a villager, credit villager,counselor, business manager, high school language credit facilitator, and assistantdean. In 2006, she became a director on the Salolampi Foundation board, mostrecently serving on the executive committee as secretary.“As I greet you from this new leadership appointment,” says Amy, “I want to take

another moment to reflect on the visionary leadership of Lauri Saukko and theSalolampi Foundation. Individually and collectively, they have been a huge part ofmy life, and I look forward to the continuation of both relationships and our com-mon passion for Salolampi.”For more than twenty years, Amy has volunteered at the Finn Creek Open Air

Museum in rural New York Mills. She orders merchandise for the Finn Creek GiftShop and serves as store manager and food service supervisor of the MinnesotaFinnish Historical Society Chapter 13. Amy is a trustee candidate of FinlandiaFoundation National.For thirteen years, Amy has taught elementary students in all primary grade levels

in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, and has served as the primary literacy coach and coor-dinator in her school district for five years.Amy earned her B.A. from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, where she

was also a student worker in the Concordia Language Villages office. She has anM.A. in education from Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota, and K-12 admin-istrative licensure from St. Mary’s University in Minneapolis. She began her doctoralwork at Ohio State University and has completed her Ph.D. coursework at CapellaUniversity in Minneapolis. She expects to finish her dissertation later this year.“Last spring I worked through the application and interview process to assume

leadership at Salolampi. I realized I am both a product and process of Salolampi,”says Amy. “My Finnish language and culture have been cultivated at the Village.This learning never ends, and every summer I am fortunate to learn and grow withincredible staff and villagers as they come to acquire new Finnish dimensions. Nosummer is ever the same, and I look forward to another life-changing experienceduring Summer 2012 at Salolampi.”Amy and her husband Adam live in New York Mills with their infant daughter

Heta, a future Salolampi villager.“All in all,” says Adam, “Iida is committed to Salolampi as much as most Finns

are committed to sauna.”2
