FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK
Being as Icelandic as it gets, I feel very strongly about The Icelandic Association of Chicago. Icelandic culture is unique and special and the people of Iceland are interesting (says who!). Now you might think I am just saying that since I am Icelandic and that I am being very patriotic. That is true I am patriotic but as we know many people who have discovered Iceland and Icelandic culture - come back for more. For example, the guests we have brought to the Þorrablót - they just loved it. They go on and on about the people, the food, the singing, and the dancing till we just say, "enough - stop it". I worked in the hospitality industry in Iceland for many years - running a summer hotel - I was always amazed at how fascinated the tourists were with the country and the culture. Iceland, of course, has its positives and negatives like any other country. The economy, for example, is very sensitive to changes in other parts of the world and inflation is a long known problem, which once again is on the rise. Living on the island is a continuos challenge with nature, but people have learned to live with the unpredictable as well as with high taxes and expensive goods and services. On the positive side we have: beautiful nature, natural and healthy food, second longest living nation in the world, a high standard of living, no unemployment, low crime rate and on and on. Icelanders in Chicago can do a lot more to keep in touch with the old country. Currently the Icelandic Association is more of a social club than anything else. That is fine as long as it is the only thing we want. Building up the association helps us do more to stay in touch with the old country and help our children stay in touch. When I say "stay in touch" I mean learning about the country and its culture, having fun with people of Icelandic heritage, and getting to know the people and the Sagas of this great little island we know as Iceland. Einar Steinsson President

After our meeting we went to the Museum of Science and Industry to decorate our Christmas tree. The Museum will start it's Christmas celebration on November 23rd.

April 1999
FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK
Was the Þorrablót a success? The short answer to that is yes, even though we did not sing and dance as much as last year. 60 grown-ups and about 10 children attended the Blót, which is an increase of 10 people from last year. We enjoyed having our ambassador and his wife with us and they were very happy with the visit to Chicago. We did not make profit from the Þorrablót this year, but neither did we loose money. You can see a detailed account of the Þorrablót elsewere in the newsletter. We can still do better and we have space for more people at the museum next year if we still want to go with the same place. New place would have to be inexpensive (Not over $300), we would have to be able to bring food and wine, and it has to hold at least 70 people for sit down dinner. Any suggestions?
What does the future bring? 10th of April we had a board meeting and this is the plan for the rest of the year:
1. Field trip to the Vice Council on the 30th of April to vote. Elections are on the 8th of May in Iceland.
2. 17th of June celebration on the 12th of June at Guðrún and Gunnar Thors’
3. Scandinavian Day in September
4. Cristmas Party in December
To participate in the 17th of June celebration you should call Guðrún or Gunnar at 847-842-0863 and let them know you are attending. For the Scandinavian Day we need help and if you are interested please give Lena or me a call at 773-489-4621. We also need some great ideas to make money. If the weather is nice this is a very good festival. Last year we had a great time and could have done a lot more if we had only planned more a head of time. For the Christmas Party we need to find a nice place that is inexpensive.
Many of the members receive the newsletter by email as an attachment file. If you have not informed us of your email address please do so by emailing Sóley, soley@poweruser.com, or by calling her at 847-548-4527 Receiving the newsletter by email saves us printing, envelope, and postage costs, as well as the extra work. Remember to let her know what version of word you have.
Orri, Lena’s brother has finished the website and it looks great (http://www.nett.is/~gudman/). It has five categories: newsletters, information about the board and email addresses, pictures from the Þorrablót, links to Icelandic websides and "foreign" websides about Icelandic subjects, and finally a guestbook.
In short, we are doing fine and new members are joining the association every month. We like to know of any Icelanders, people of Icelandic heritage or friends of Iceland that might be interested in the Icelandic Association of Chicago. If you have any leads send us an email or call us.
Enjoy the spring

HONORARY ICELANDER OF THE MONTH.
On March 13th, Ella Sveinsson turned 100 years old. She was born, Elinborg Olafson, in 1899 on Hekla Island in Manitoba Canada. Her parents were Icelandic immigrants to Canada in the middle 1800´s. Ella moved to Chicago in her early twenties after finishing school through 8th grade and spending some time in Winnipeg. She finally became a nurse in 1925 after training at Columbus Hospital. With the help of the sisters there she earned her high school diploma and her nurses degree, even though she did not speak English fluently. Ella met her husband during her nurses training and they married in 1927.
They had 2 sons in the 1930´s and purchased a small bungalow in Norwood Park Township.
Ella and Allen were a key part of the start of the Icelandic Association in Chicago in the 1930´s.
In the 1940´s they moved to Irving Park where Allen purchased a plumbing contracting business and Ella took over a greeting card store that she operated for almost 10 years. In the 1960´s they purchased a summer home in Ontario Canada and spent many wonderful summers there with family and friends.
Allen died in 1974 and for 20 years Ella lived independently until 1994 when she decided to move into the Norwood Park Home. There she enjoys visiting with her family, her 10 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren, dining out and reminiscing about old times. We at the Icelandic association want to wish her a very Happy Birthday.

In May Icelanders will go to the polls to vote for whatever political party they belief will serve best their values and country. Icelanders in Chicago also have the right, opportunity and obligation to participate in the upcoming elections to Althingi. To do so one has to contact Iceland's vice counselor in Chicago, Aristotle P. Halikias, between March 25, and April 30. His Office is located at 15750 S. Harlem, Suite 28, Orland Park. The office is open Mondays to Fridays from 9-5. We suggest that those who are interested in voting contact Einar Steinsson (773 489 4621), and maybe we could go as a group on a Friday afternoon to Orland Park, and afterwards to a dinner.

FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK
Dear fellow members.
Þorrablót is coming up and this time it should be a great one. I wrote the new ambassodor of Iceland, Jón Baldvin Hannibalsson and his wife Bryndís Scram a letter last year and invited them to be our guests of honor at the Þorrablót. Much to my surprise, since these are very busy people, they accepted this offer and will be attending this year. The only problem is that the budget of the Embassy does not allow them to travel here on Icelands expens so we have to pay. The cost is not going to be enormus, but for a small association like ours it is going to cut into the budget. The flight and hotel will be $680.00 but hopefully because of this special occasion we will get more people to attend and maybe some donations from members.
What will we benefit from their visit? First of all, this will give us the chance to meet the ambassador and strengthen the relationship between the embassy and the Icelandic community in Chicago. Secondly, Jón Baldvin and Bryndís are known to be very interesting and cheerful people that are the joy of every party. Lastly, the association needs a boost in its memberships and attendees at the Þorrablót if it is going to become as strong as it was few years back.
At the Þorrablót Hörður(Bassi) will be singing and playing for us as he did so well last year (some members were dancing for the first time in their lives) and we will have Icelandic and American food together. The Blót starts with a cockteil like last year and hopefully Völli will be cutting sculpture in ice at the same time. Völli is the Icelandic chef that works at Charlie Trotter’s. After dinner we will dance the night away, and of course the raffle will be at its place.
I hope to see all of you there and please bring some friends and friends of Iceland.
Best wishes,
Einar Steinsson, President
ÞORRABLÓT
The Þorrablót is going to be held on February 27th at the same place as last year, The Swedish American Museum on: 5211 North Clark, Chicago. Phone number 773-728-8111. The house will open at 6pm, cocktails will be upstairs 6:30 and then dinner, dance, singing, raffle and so on.
We have a special deal with a hotel in that area which is within walking distance of the museum. It is The Chicago Lodge on 920 West Foster; their number is 773-334-5600. Their nightly rate is $64 but for us they have lowered it to $52 for the night. All you have to do is call them, tell them you are with the Icelandic Association of Chicago and they will be happy to help you. We encourage everyone who can to take advantage of this to do so. Parking will be available at Clark and Foster and also on side streets and at the bank one block north of the museum, no permits will be needed.
As Einar pointed out our big news is that the Icelandic ambassador Jón Baldvin Hannibalsson and his wife Bryndís Scram have agreed to be guests of honor this year. They will be flying from Washington D.C. that same day. We are hoping to see as many of you as possible and by all means invite friends and family to come along, the more the merrier as the Icelanders say.
ÞORRABLÓT FEES
This year’s fee will be $45.00 for members in advance and $50.00 at the door. Please send checks to Einar Steinsson, 2212 N. Rockwell St, Chicago, IL 69647. Phone # 773.489.4621. email: estein3@uic.edu. We are also reminding those who still have not paid the membership fee ($25.00 or $15.00) to please send that at this time also. We will need both payments before Feb. 20th.
NEWS FROM HOME
It seems like the volcanic activity on Vatnajökull has not said it’s last quite yet. In the beginning of December it started erupting again not too far away from where it erupted in 1996. This time however the water accumulation was not as great so there was no extensive flooding. It went on for a couple of weeks and was declared over just before the New Year. Even though the water wasn’t extensive the ash accumulation was a bit more and therefore the new peak stands higher than any peak around it.
