In its first years, the association focused on social activities for its members. The first chairman of the association was Kristj\u00e1n J\u00fal\u00edusson.<\/p><p>In 1962, there were fifteen full members and eighteen sustaining members. One had by then been made a life member.<\/p><p>In 1968, weekly work nights were held in Bolungarv\u00edk, but a lack of space hindered the activities.<\/p><p>Self-Help in Bolungarv\u00edk followed the same tradition as the organization in Siglufj\u00f6r\u00f0ur and baked sun pancakes, with the pancake sale taking place January 23-25 when the sun appeared to the people of Bolungarv\u00edk. The organization has donated the money raised at the sun coffee and outdoor market,\u00a0 Christmas bazaar, and other fundraising days for the purchase of equipment for the Bolungarv\u00edk physical therapy center. Funds for most of the equipment purchased there since 1982 have been raised by members of the Sj\u00e1lfsbj\u00f6rg association. In 1993, it was also decided to donate a hearing loop system to the church for the hard of hearing. When service apartments were built in Bolungarv\u00edk in the early 1990s, Sj\u00e1lfsbj\u00f6rg in Bolungarv\u00edk had the right to manage three of them.<\/p><p>Self-Help&#x27;s activities in Bolungarv\u00edk are still on a social note, as can be seen from the fact that the organization held an extensive quiz competition in 2005.<\/p><p>The chairperson of Sj\u00e1lfsbj\u00f6rg in Bolungarv\u00edk during Sj\u00e1lfsbj\u00f6rg LSH&#x27;s 50th anniversary year (2009) was Anna Torfad\u00f3ttir.
