California's month of October presented us with an early "Indian Summer," warm and even very, very hot.  Although our beaches are still tempting us to enjoy their hospitality, it is the Estonian House which is offering a myriad of activities.  Traditionally, every third Saturday of the month the Estonian Kitchen beckons with promises of culinary treats.  USC's philosophy student, Indrek Reiland, will be speaking on contemporary philosophical thought.  Come - eat.  Come - listen!  But remember: These activities depend on our participation and support to guarantee continued next year's high quality offerings.  The Estonian School calls all children to further their education in their Estonian language and culture.  As Leelo Tungal says: "Our mother tongue is that which binds us over time and distance."   The Los Angeles Estonian Theatrical Troup, which is one of just a few theatrical groups outside Estonia, has already begun rehearsals for its next offering.  The rest of America can read about "what's up" at our Los Angeles Estonian House via The Free Estonian Word and Kadri Speek's reporting.  Tatyana Elmanovich's horoscope for November suggests a not so happy gubernatorial election season for Meg and Jerry.  The Orange County summer's beach day brings hope, that this "Night of Ancient Lights" may become a continuing tradition for us.  The Ski Club has already established its tradition, and will be celebrating 50 years of partying, fellowship and - oh, yes - skiing next March.  Due to popular demand, the second edition of the Summer Album will soon be published.  And finally, for those who have already read Justin Petrone's book, "My Estonian," there will be an opportunity to meet with the author Friday evening at the Estonian House.  For those who don't have computers or aren't particularly "friendly" with them, copies of the Newsletter are available for perusal on the Estonian House bulletin board.
