Geography!! It's FIELD TRIP TIME!!

Hello Vanguardians,
The region we are studying this month is U.S.A. (yahoo!) and Canada.  Now we love North America, we do, but we would like to spend a bit more time on India.  We had a brief and wonderful presentation by Luke and Sister Cloward, but the culture is diverse in that area of the world.  I propose we go to the Hare Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork!  I know you are curious about that building on the hill that sticks out like a sore thumb (as beautiful as it is :)

We will see the grounds, animals, tour the inside of the temple, hear their beliefs, listen to them play music and chant, and maybe even try out the instruments ourselves.  Leave your PBJ at home as they are preparing lunch for you!  It is all vegetarian and authentic. They grow most of their food, interestingly enough, and have blessed it in their way to make it "kosher" for their beliefs. Fascinating.

Please BRING $6.00 with you that day.  This pays for your tour and lunch.  Don't forget! If your family is like ours you may want to get the money and put it in your bag now so that you don't starve that day. (Now usually Vanguard dues pay for this sort of thing but if we consider how much Vanguard has done already this semester it will not surprise you that there is no money left.  Your fabulous mentors did amazing things with the funds.  Thanks you guys!)

Details:
9:00 a.m. Meet at the Halley's as usual for opening, english, and a bit of math.
10:45 Drive to the temple.
11:00 Tour begins
1:00 Lunch
2:00 Return to the Halley's
     Vanguardians who only did apprentice can be picked up at this time.
     Journeyman and Master Class will begin.  They are combined this month.  So, work like crazy and      come enjoy the whole day!
4:00 Finished

I am looking so forward to it!
Love, Sister Pulley

P.S.  You will still want to memorize the 50 States, and Canadian Provinces. Hopefully you know your continent.  If not, now is the time!

You will also want to read each of the links on this page Hare Krishna is Who??  in preparation for the field trip. As you read, write down anything that is similar to what you believe; much is different but there are some commonalities.
