A Gift of Art - Mardi Gras Night
A Mardi Gras fashion parade at the 2011 Gift of Art annual Mardi Gras Dinner and Dance, held at the Newcastle Town Hall in Newcastle Ontario.
Unveiling the Wallis Album - Newcastle (Australia) - 20 February 2012
On the 20th February 2012 a ceremony was held at the Newcastle Art Gallery to unveil the Wallis Album.
The Wallis Album is a personal copy of a printed book by Captain James Wallis, supplemented with extra paintings, sketches and annotations relating to the Aboriginal people in Newcastle, as well as the flora and fauna of the area including a sketch of Throsby Creek. Captain Wallis was Commandant of the Newcastle penal settlement from June 1816 to December 1818. This work was given to his wife, and represents not only his love for his wife, but also of Newcastle and the Hunter Region. It is quite unique.
The printed work is entitled: An historical account of the colony of New South Wales and its dependent settlements : in illustration of twelve views / engraved by W. Preston from drawings taken on the spot by Captain Wallis. To which is subjoined An accurate map of Port Macquarie and the newly discovered River Hastings / by J. Oxley
London : Printed for R. Ackermann by J. Moyes, 1821
see:
This Album is one of the most significant collections of convict-era artworks ever discovered, was unveiled to the public for the first time at Newcastle Art Gallery in the city in which it was created.
Richard Neville, Mitchell Librarian said that the album had been kept in a cupboard in Canada by a Wallis descendant.
''One could see immediately how important [the album was] and how vital it was to purchase it,'' Mr Neville said. ''The last time the album was in Australia was on the third of March, 1819, when Captain Wallis put it in a ship and took it back to England.''
The NSW State Library bought the album at auction for $1.8 million.
Arts Minister George Souris said it was important to bring the album back to where most of its works were created.
Gallery director Ron Ramsey described the album as a treasure ''greater than the jewels of Elizabeth Taylor and so much cheaper''.

Considerations For Gift Giving (For Business Professionals)
Learn the tools used by the most successful communicators in the world by picking up a copy of the Your Invisible Toolbox book -
The French have a phrase that refers to gifting, which translates to things should be well presented. A gift is a statement and the more thought we put into selection and presentation, the more our gift will communicate. What are some considerations to reflect on when giving a gift so that we present well?
The first consideration is the person you are gifting. What might they appreciate? Review what you know about this person and select the gift with them in mind. If needed consult someone close to them if unsure of their interest.
The most memorable gifts are those that tell us someone understands who we are and what we are about. So it may be a gift certificate to a new restaurant for those who love to dine out, a piece of jade brought home from your business travels for the person who collects stones, or a carefully selected bottle of wine the recipient favors.
It is also important when selecting to consider budget. Not only your own, but the appropriate dollar amount for the occasion .If the gift is being given to a business colleague, make sure you are aware of the gifting policy of the organization they work for. The nature of the relationship, status of the recipient (especially if the gift is given cross culturally), the purpose, and the occasion all dictate appropriateness with regard to how much to spend
Take into account the perceived value of the gift.
An item that is common will not have the perceived value of something specific to a region, a person or that is harder to find. A British expression that illustrates this is Avoid carrying coals to Newcastle. People in Newcastle, a coal mining town would not appreciate coal as a gift. Finding something other than what is readily available to the recipient carries more value.
How you wrap it up does make a difference! The presentation of the gift is as significant as the gift itself. Taking time to wrap attractively and enclose a thoughtfully written note will set your gift apart.
With the amount of international business being conducted, precaution must be taken when gifting across cultures. Gift giving customs vary greatly from country to country. What is considered appropriate in Germany may be totally inappropriate in China. How do you know you are giving a gift that will be respected, rather than making a cultural faux pas?
Select with care. Countries vary with regard to the importance of gifting. In countries where gift giving is of high importance, it is necessary to take extra care in selection, understanding taboos, and in finding out how best and when to present your gift.
Countries that place high to medium importance on gifting are Japan (highest in gifting rituals), Latin American countries, The Middle East and the Pacific Rim. Researching the aspects of gifting particular to the country is imperative. Lower importance on gifting is characteristic of Australia, Canada, Europe and U.S. Because of this, many U.S. businesses fail to place the significance on gifting required when doing business internationally.
The process of gifting is a circular one. In accepting a gift, even if it is an expression of thanks to us, we realize that reciprocity is now required. Cross culturally, that may mean a return gift of similar value. Here in the U.S. it may mean simply a thank you card expressing thanks for the thoughtfulness of the giver.
Gifts communicate respect, friendship, and appreciation. In giving a gift we signify the value of the relationship and goodwill to the receiver. If done well, it will result in value and goodwill long remembered.

Why Give - Where Else Can You Get 8% Return
Whenever Faith Holland visits a city, she likes to explore its libraries. So when she moved to Baltimore with her husband -- the late Laurence B. Holland, Ph.D., a professor of American literature and American studies who had accepted an appointment at The Johns Hopkins University's Krieger School of Arts and Sciences -- she was delighted to encounter the institution's George Peabody Library, which she describes as one of the most beautiful buildings in America, as well as the Evergreen Museum and Library. In fact, Faith later became an archivist at Evergreen and served on the Sheridan Libraries Advisory Council. Today, she continues to support the Sheridan Libraries in various ways, including through a charitable gift annuity. A similar life-income gift also supports collaborative programs between the university and the Baltimore Museum of Art, where Faith also worked with catalogs, development and public relations. Charitable gift annuities have benefits for the recipient institution and to the donor, according to Faith. In fact, I don't know anyplace else where you get 8% return on your money in this day and age. She adds that it gives her a great deal of satisfaction to support The Johns Hopkins University, which has a wonderful place in the history of higher education in this country.

Stretch Your Heart! Gift of Giving-Helping Kids Through Sport
Todays Project: Were building a basic BMX and skate park for a local community housing location at 75 Tandridge Cr. Toronto (Albion + Islington area) . The construction project will involve assembling 8 platforms or tables, 2 quarter ramps and 2 flat ramps. Guests will be divided into teams, provided the tools, materials and guidance of an experienced carpenter, and will have one hour to complete the task. The goal is to have the course ready for delivery to Tandridge by the end of the afternoon.
Tomorrows Project: Suddenly, real life will usurp video games
Imagine:
-a unique youth action sports centre
-located centrally in Toronto
-accessible to all (no user fees)
-catering to BMX Riders, skateboarders, inline skaters, freestyle mountain bike riders, and others wanting to develop their skills for action sports
-provides a constructive, healthy activity for Torontos youth
That is the vision!..an innovative youth centre focused on action sports that would feature a full sized BMX park, a challenging skateboard park, a media production centre, with space to grow and develop other activities. Mike Heaton, TorontoBMX
Word of thanks from TorontoBMXs Mike Heaton: Thank you for helping out with this project today. These ramps will have a big impact of the youth in the Tandridge neighbourhood, giving them a tool to help develop their skills and to improve their sense of self worth, as they realize what they are capable of.
Todays TorontoBMX Riders:
Eric Favot, Jason Tojeiro, Adam Dudzinski, Lawrence Yi
After an awe-inspiring BMX Skills Demonstration, these riders will be working with the kids to introduce them to the BMX Sport. All bikes provided courtesy of city of Toronto Parks Forestry and Recreation
The BMX Bike Ramps used in the demo today are from the torontoBMXjam09 being held March 13, 14, 14, 2009 at the Direct Energy Centre. Over 150 BMX riders under 14s, ladies, amateur and pros from across North America will compete on a 50x140 course filled with obstacles. What you see today is on ly the beginning. Information on this event and other BMX activities can be found online at
Thanks to Allan Crawford, city of Toronto Parks Forestry and Recreation for the vision of accessible BMX freestyle ramps for youth in Toronto.
Video recorded and posted by Constable Scott Mills, Toronto Crime Stoppers Community Youth Officer / Legal Graffiti Art Coordinator.
Cst Mills has implemented a unique and highly praised project to link graffiti artists with skate park ramps to provide not on ly readily accessible canvases for their work but also opportunities for Toronto Police Service officers and Crime Stoppers community volunteers to work more closely with community youth. As we forge ahead with future Action Sports facilities in the city, the value of linking youth groups through one centre will continue to be the backbone of our projects.
