RAIVAAJA is a not-for-profit publication owned by the Finnish American community.
It
strives to keep its
readership informed in Finnish and in English about happenings in
Finland
and in Finnish communities all over the world. This kind of
information is not usually found in the mainstream American press.
Raivaaja Publishing Company
believes publishing to be the most important way to transmit
knowledge of our ethnic history
and culture from one generation to the next. Publishing is also
the vital way to communicate current events and issues concerning the
future of our Finnish- American cultural activities. RAIVAAJA
provides a forum for this dialog.

*Important Notice*
In Mid April, the Finnish American newspaper, RAIVAAJA,
suspended publication for financial reasons. Like many print
newspapers, RAIVAAJA is suffering diminishing revenues from subscribers
and advertisers in these trying economic times. It is the intention of the Board of Directors to continue RAIVAAJA in some form and to honorably settle all of the debts that have forced suspention of the print version. Shareholders and the Board are meeting to determine a future course. We request your patience, support, and understanding while we work through this change of your weekly paper serving the Finnish-American community. The Bookstore remains in operation and a continuing source of revenue. Any support through purchase of books and CD's will be promptly filled with our thanks for your continuing support. |
