Join us at our regularly scheduled Scamper with a special Earth-friendly twist: Plogging!
Plogging is an activity that combines jogging or walking with picking up litter, originating in Sweden around 2016. It merges the Swedish phrase "plocka upp" (pick up) with "jogging.” And we’re going to plog our neighborhoods! More details come but please plan to help us help our community on this day!

We’re having a fundraiser for our big 5th Swiftiversary party this fall! Please join us for a fun flash tattoo event featuring tattoo artist Sammi Kroll of One More Tattoo. If you’ve seen any of the Swifter tattoos that about 15 of the Swifters have, she is the artist that created those. She’s got a fun flash set for us to choose from, and some of the proceeds will go directly to the Skokie Swifters to support our celebration!
You can find all the specifics and claim a spot on this Google Doc. Sammi’s designs will be available for viewing soon, but you can see on the doc a general list of designs to expect.
