Week Twenty one

Week Twenty One
Dates: Monday August 20th through Sunday August 26th
Season: Summer 2007
Month: Late August

Announcements:

With the less than stellar weather the school encourages students to enjoy the overcast skies for what they are. Maybe try something new. for instance, fog is pretty to take pictures of. It's easier to take walks with no worries of overheating and you can always enjoy the water without a blinding sun glare!

Keep in mind with the coming of the full moon next week on Tuesday, the 28th, those affected by the lunar pull may be more on edge. Try to be patient and keep this in consideration. Thanks!

Monday
H.P. Lovecraft is born this day in 1890. The Halcyon Library will be honoring him all week long with readings of his works done by some of the demons and other supernatural that influenced him. Come by to check out some of his works, and to view some of his original writings housed in out archives. Also we will present art, music, and film inspired by this great and troubled man.

Friday
On ancient Palatine Hill on this night, the Mundus stone is ceremoniously opened to allow the dead to leave Hades and commune with the living. Be aware though Halcyon will be warded against these spirits, the rest of the island will be rolling out the welcome mat.

Sunday
August 26 of each year is designated in the United States as Women's Equality Day. Instituted by Rep. Bella Abzug and first established in 1971, the date commemorates the passage of the 19th Amendment, the Woman Suffrage Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which gave U.S. women full voting rights in 1920. Here are some links for more information connected with this commemoration:

August is Foot Health Month. Take care of your tootsies! Get a pedicure. Get a massage. Do something nice for the appendages that get you from place to place. Word is that there are some experts in foot massage around the school... take advantage of this great resource ;)

Next Week:
- Be Kind to Humankind Week. Or as some of us like to say... At least learn to tolerate them.
- Full Moon next Tuesday.
- Art Exhibit at the lux Hotel, hosted by Mr. Venizelos. The exhibit is open to all artists and art lovers. Participation will earn extra credit for his students. Sign up sheets will be located on the outside of his office and classroom doors. Or if you can see him at his shop Gun Smoke Tattoo. All of the artist at Halcyon are urged to check out this great opportunity to get their work out there and all are welcome to come and enjoy the show.
