"Program # 9.mp3

Welcome to our 9th program in the series. It's the month of "Heyannir" in the Old Icelandic Calendar
- a time for haymaking and it's also the time known as the dog days of summer. Gus explains some of the curious details these about overlapping periods.

Show Line up:
• Item # 1 - Sigrún Halla Guðnadóttir is interviewed by Karen Vopnfjord about the difficulties of teaching Icelandic to immigrant families and the stunning drop out rate in their schools that they are facing.
• Item # 2 - The Hverageði Choir performs in Burnaby, B.C. for the local Icelandic and Scandinavian communities. (Three songs and a short interview.)
• Item # 3 - The Icelandic Club of Greater Seattle is visited by the INL of NA's Good-Will Ambassadors, Len & Karen Vopnfjord. This is part 1 of a 4 part series where Len & Karen visited with some of the western US Icelandic Clubs and organizations.

We hope that you enjoy the show.
