When the Nebo Junior High School contacted
us with a request for a dancer to present Krishna
Culture at their school assembly November 13th,
we connected them with Suba. Yesterday morning
Vaibhavi and I were thrilled to see her perform
before 400 local Junior High Schoolers and their
teachers. . . . Complete story

In the past, we have limited our advertisements
for Diwali, fearing that as the colder weather forces
everything indoors, and the temple capacity is 500,
we shouldn't aspire for more attendees. This year,
however, we had built an outdoor stage, the weather
had been very nice (mid 60's during the day) and we
had the idea to put out patio heaters on the verandah.
Thus there were three places where more than 1,000
people could congregate: 1) The downstairs gift store
and buffet, 2) the upstairs temple room, and the 3) out
door verandah with heaters and stage.

Mr Patel walks into a bar in London, orders three pints of beer and
sits in the back room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When
hefinishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more.

The bartender approaches and tells him, "You know, a pint goes flat
after ashort while it so it would taste better if you bought just one at
a time."

Mr Patel replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in New
York,the other is in Nairobi and I'm here in London. When we all parted
companyfour years ago, we promised that we'd drink this  way to remember
the dayswe spent together. So I drink one for each of my brothers and one
for myself."

The bartender admits that this is a nice custom and leaves it there.

Mr Patel becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way.
He orders three pints and drinks them in turn.

One day, he comes in and orders only two pints! All the regulars take
notice and fall silent.

When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says,
"I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences
on your loss."

Mr Patel looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns and he
laughs. "Oh, no, everybody's just fine," he explains...

"It's just that my wife and I became devoted followers of the ISKCON Hare
Krishnas and obviously I had to quit drinking. Hasn't affected my brothers
though."
