of selecting the host site now. Our theme will be “Celebrating the Arts” with a
focus on Alberta’s Icelandic heritage
and all Canadians of Icelandic descent who are involved in the various
art forms; writing (authors, poets), music (singers, musicians, song writers,
composers), and visual arts (painters, sculptures, photography, graphic arts). </span></a></span></b></div>

ever more forceful, and selling the house is out of the question. But sometimes
even ghosts can get too greedy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN">Put that fuzzy blanket back on the couch and keep your firewood unscathed for a few extra hours – it’s<i> ísbíltúr</i> time. While Americans couldn't get enough hygge last winter, another Nordic ritual belongs in our cold weather routines: <i>ísbíltúr</i>. The Icelandic term translates loosely to the specific act of driving around and eating ice cream. Like hygge, ísbíltúr is an intentional, precise form of recreation, though it requires leaving the house.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">The
Vigdís Finnbogadóttir Institute of Foreign Languages is a research institute
working within the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Iceland. The
Institute is a research centre for scholars who teach modern languages and
cultures, the classical languages, and translation studies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">Since
1st October 2001 the Institute has had the honour of bearing the name of Ms.
Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, former President of Iceland, 1980-1996.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">The
reasons for changing the Institute's name were, on the one hand, to honour our
former President for her energetic work in foreign languages, and on the other,
to help encourage and strengthen research and teaching in foreign languages.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;">Ms.
Vigdís Finnbogadóttir has been a powerful spokesperson for the importance of
language proficiency, both in one's own native tongue as well as in other
languages, and she has made a vital contribution to this field in her career as
a teacher, as President of Iceland, and as a goodwill ambassador for the United
Nations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

She was a member of the Alpine Club.
She also travelled to many countries to climb mountains - Nepal, China,
Australia and South America. She loved
to visit her beloved Iceland. Margrét

socializing, teaching and singing in the choir.
She will be missed by her family and many LEIC friends. A Memorial service was held at the Scan

After a warm welcome from President Christine Mueller,
Gwen Mann, convener introduced out of town member Kenneth
Paulson who came from Pincher Creek and new members Shirley Morton, Judy
Shupe and her sister Sally, Baldur & Lynn Johannson ( & Lynn

for immigrating Icelanders, a menu of soup, salad and assorted sandwiches
was enjoyed. Icelandic desserts topped the afternoon. The
committee is very grateful for the many donations of food and Icelandic
desserts provided by members as well as all the help in organizing the
