DINING HALL RENOVATION
 The Colita Nicholson bequest has enabled the Capital
Funds Campaign to embark on a kitchen and dining room remodeling
project. At its completion Olcott will have a kitchen that satisfies the DuPage County Health Department code and
a dining room that will be a place of beauty for staff and visitors. The
project includes funding for a new stove,
ovens, stainless steel work tables and shelving. The remodeled dining and
multipurpose area will compliment Jeff's and Michele's cooking, as well as provide a
pleasant space for meetings, celebrations, and casual recreation. Nicholson
Hall will be a tribute to the generosity of Colita, sister-in-law to
Shirley Nicholson who is resident head of Krotona Institute in Ojai,
California. The projected completion date is early February, so plan your visits for anytime
after that. |

Chushul Orphanage in Tibet
By Tim Boyd
 It is with great joy that I report that the building
project for the Chushul Orphanage in Tibet has been completed. The
project began 2 years ago when Betty and David Bland, who had just returned
from the Theosophical Society's pilgrimage to Tibet, presented the idea to the TOS. They had visited the orphanage and raised the initial funds among their
fellow pilgrims. The original goal was to raise enough to build new bath and
shower facilities for the kids. Last year when the second TSA pilgrimage traveled to
Tibet, I was able to visit the orphanage. Read more...

Summit is limited.
After the Theosophical World Congress in Rome, the
Theosophical Society in America is pleased to announce a special week-long tour of Italy. This tour will provide the
opportunity to experience the beauty, history, and spiritual heritage of this
fascinating country. We will explore art, architecture, ruins, and religious
traditions in Rome, Pompeii, Pisa, Assisi, Florence, and Venice!

Library Programs
Our Wish List contains items that a gift purchaser can obtain from a variety of retailers. It is a list of items the library would like to have available to library users or that may directly benefit the operation of the library. Links to where items can be purchased are available but only as a suggestion. This Wish List offers an additional way in which you can make a contribution to your library.
Olcott Drama Troupe
The Olcott Drama Troupe invites
participation in our new acting group at the Theosophical Society in America,
in Wheaton. Having recently finished a production of Persephone, a tongue in cheek comedic treatment of the ancient
Greek story of how the seasons came to be, we are now working
on productions of old-time radio shows such as The Shadow, Lone Ranger, The Jack
Benny Show, etc. Interspersed with each show will be live renderings of old radio
commercials. We read from scripts, so memorizing
lines is not necessary. We perform at The Theosophical Society's own Open Mic Soirées, at various celebrations, and at local senior homes (and perhaps soon, hospitals). Join us for the fun! We practice every other Tuesday at 5 pm in the library (or
auditorium). No
experience necessary.
