  • Guest Speaker Presentation Topics
    2017 Guest Speaker Presentation Topics P a g e | 1 Explore Buffalo Guest Speaker Program COST: $75 Includes a one hour presentation, featuring a 45-minute talk followed by 15 minutes for discussion/Q&A. PLEASE NOTE: Talk availability is subject to the availability of our volunteer docents. We will do our best to accommodate your preferences. Talk Topics Abraham Lincoln in Buffalo & Western New York Buffalo’s presidential history is arguably the country’s most significant, with exception of Washington D.C. We are well aware that Millard Fillmore and Grover Cleveland were residents and political stalwarts of Buffalo when elected, and that William McKinley was assassinated and Theodore Roosevelt was inaugurated here in September 1901. But what about Abraham Lincoln? Is there a chapter in Western New York’s presidential book regarding his presence and legacy? This talk will reveal the answers to these questions as it describes Lincoln’s four visits to Buffalo and Western New York. Art’s Up: The Buffalo Fine Arts Academy (BFAA) and its Impact Near and Far The parent organization of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery is the BFAA which was established in 1862 and for over 150 years has been an ambassador for Buffalo — locally, nationally, and globally. In this talk, we will briefly review BFAA’s history, including key events and “firsts” such as being the first major art museum to have a woman director. We’ll focus on a selection of people throughout the years who’ve had significant influence, such as our own “Monuments Men” who helped recover Nazi-looted art during World War II.

    Adoption STAR is a not-for-profit adoption agency in New York, Ohio and Florida. The agency firmly believes that post adoption contact (open adoption), when appropriate, is what’s best for all parties involved, especially the children. Open adoption visits between adoptive families and birth families should be a time to celebrate the adoption journey and create relationships. These visits can be as simple as a picnic in the park or going swimming at a local pool, to theme parks and adventures. Below you will find an extensive list of open adoption visit ideas for that have been suggested by Adoption STAR clients and staff members in specific areas in New York, Ohio and Florida. This list can be updated regularly, so if you have any suggestions that you do not see on the list, please email [email protected] with the subject "Open Adoption Visit Project" and we will work to add your idea.
