The event described as "one of the funnest all year"- The annual Krishna Temple FESTIVAL of COLORS is coming up this Saturday at 4 PM. The Finer Things Club will be in attendance and perhaps carpooling to the location. Call Martha, Kendra, or Brooke for any questions and invite your friends! It will be a time of all the colored chalk throwing you can handle. As pictured here the color travels everywhere so be sure not to wear your best clothes. (I hear the color is resistant to washing)
What a success our first meeting was! All who came had a ton of fun touring the small museum, playing the competitive trivia, creating unique pottery, and munching on treats! The whole activity was very enriching. All came away with a greater appreciation for the art of pottery and the skill required.
Our next event is already scheduled for this Saturday afternoon- a picnic in the park! Keep checking back for details and invite your friends! The more the merrier =)
Just letting you know that Friday, at 8 PM, we will be going to the pottery class the museum has to offer. 10$ for 2 people. You can bring a date or show up with the group and then we'll pair off to get the discount. Tomorrow I'm getting 10 tickets, so you can pay me back later. We wouldn't want to show up and have it be sold out! (For more information, visit a few posts back, and you'll get more details on where.)
Tips* 1) wear clothes that can get dirty. the wheel is a very messy process. well, all pottery is messy. 2) we might be getting a snack of sorts afterwards, and probably discussing pottery! if you have something you want to bring and show off, or perhaps be prepared to tell us your thoughts on such a lovely art form as pottery.
Here is a possibility of an outing, let us know if you would like to attend and we'll organize an outing.
The Heroes of History Club is a group of students, including Psychology majors, who come together on Tuesday nights to discuss figures of the past who are worthy of emulation: Heroes of History. The goal of these students is to constantly be thinking about great people so that we may adopt at least some of the things that made these people so remarkable. We believe that if we learn about respectable historical figures, we can become the Heroes of History. So far this semester we have discussed George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Gandhi and Mother Teresa. We have really had fun this semester discussing these people. Here is the schedule for the rest of the semester:
March
11th The force of Sir Isaac Newton's concentration
18th Voltaire - The pen more powerful than the sword
25th Joan of Arc/Queen Elizabeth I - Great women leaders
April
1st "BC and AD" The Impact of Jesus Christ
8th Charlemagne's educational vision
15th Heroes & Villains: Winston Churchill vs. Adolf Hitler
22nd Semester review: Are you a hero? What is your vision?
Each of these meetings will be Tuesday nights at 7:00 PM in Room 110 of the Tanner Building . This is the club's website for anyone who wants to take a look: http://byuheroesofhistory.googlepages.com.
It's unfortunate that Ben's play fell on a Monday, as that was during FHE and no one could attend. Hopefully there will be another showing soon so we can. :) We still love you BEN!
So we realize that tomorrow is FHE, but we've decided that it would be good to support our friend Ben Crowder, as he has written a play that is being put on tomorrow! Here are the details:
7:30 at the Provo Theatre Company 105 E 100 N, Provo
If you can make it, call martha. Hopefully we can get together for icecream, hot chocolate, and talk about the play. And maybe we can get the play write himself to join us, and talk to us about his inspiration, etc. It should be fun :)
Also, there is a possibility of a planetarium show this friday. I can't find details yet!
If you guys have any ideas, please post and let us know! The goal is to just have an outing once a week or less, cuz honestly we're busy!
Here is my suggestion:
Culture-Me-Mine Date Night
March 14, 2008
8:00 pm
Museum of Peoples and Cultures, 700 N. 100 East
Tour the museum, make pottery and enjoy refreshments. $10 per couple. Tickets available only at the WSC Info Desk starting March 10.
I happen to love making pottery! I did a little in high school, and it's a good way to appreciate pottery in a whole new light. I think we could have an awesome discussion. Here's a thought for now: "I am the clay. He sits at the wheel and lovingly forms me into His work of art." So good!
We have a book of the month starting this month!!! March: 4 Loves written by C.S. Lewis.
The goal: read it and discuss at the end of this month. Find it at the bookstore, the library, We will probably have a fine china picnic by the duck pond. Remember, no paper and no plastic! We are surrounding ourselves with strictly fine dinnerware and fine foods. We're thinking perhaps gourmet hot chocolate and cucumber sandwiches, among other Hors d'œuvre (proper spelling and definition! there was some hot debate earlier today haha). Anyway, we're getting excited! Thanks for Brooke and Meg for posting! I loved it! :) I am still working on my thesis about Beauty, so stay tuned for future postings.
