The Evening's Program ASSIST 50TH ANNIVERSARY EUROPEAN GALA June 1, 2019 TIPI am Kanzleramt Große Querallee Berlin, Germany Message from ASSIST President Bob Stanley Welcome to our European Gala, celebrating ASSIST’s 50th anniversary year! We gather to celebrate the ASSIST Family, whose many members have built a remarkable legacy over 50 years: 5,385 Scholars and their parents representing 52 countries, 285 member schools in the U.S., countless thousands of peers, host families, teachers and coaches, and a ready army of volunteers. This special year began with the arrival at Pomfret School of our 175 highly enthusiastic Scholars from 21 countries. A four-day orientation launched them into their academic, co-curricular and community adventures as they began their year-long experience in America. If history is a prelude, more than 90% of them will attain honor roll achievement in their 82 independent schools across the country; they will make a notable impact on their communities through their active participation in extracurricular and athletic endeavors; they will develop strong interpersonal relationships through long- lasting friendships with their classmates, teachers and host families. ASSIST is thriving, and never in our history has our mission been more important than it is today. We vigorously maintain our enduring principles while adapting our approach to meet the needs of each rising generation. We nurture international understanding when we develop talented leaders who are scholarly in intellect and who enthusiastically and gracefully engage in the world around them as responsible global citizens. With your continued support, ASSIST will remain a leader in the field for years to come. Thank you for joining us tonight to celebrate 50 years of achievement.

Before joining the Commission, he spent 11 years at the European Parliament in Brussels, serving as foreign policy adviser to two EP Presidents Martin Schulz and Jerzy Buzek, focusing on relations with Russia, Eastern Partnership, Western Balkans and Asia, coordinating the work of the Cox-Kwasniewski special mediation mission in Ukraine, working in the Committee for Foreign Affairs and with the Interparliamentary delegations. Previously, in 2004-2005, he served as Lithuanian President Adamkus’ domestic policy adviser. Arnoldas holds an EU affairs MA from Sciences Po Paris, where he was a Rotary World Peace Fellow, and an International relations BA from Colgate University, USA.

Since founding Our Town Films in 1992, Mr. Sanderson has won over 30 national awards, including nine CINE Golden Eagles. The Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. has honored Mr. Sanderson by placing one of his films in its permanent collection. As the son of ASSIST Founder Paul “Sandy” Sanderson, Paul has produced and directed several films for ASSIST, including tonight’s premiere short film feature ASSIST: Opening Doors to the World (Our Town Films, 2019). St. Beaufort is a multinational roots- americana trio based out of Berlin. Their featured line-up of musicians on this evening includes ASSIST Alumnus Henric Hungerhoff ’01 (St. Andrew’s School), Joe Jakubczyk, and Dan Wall. Founded in 2014 and drawn together by a passion for acoustic music and storytelling, St. Beaufort’s energetic performance has captured the hearts of audiences all over Europe from the Scottish Highlands down to the southern coast of Sicily. Their sound builds on a foundation of banjo, guitar and violin, with alternating lead vocals and warm three-part harmonies. They craft songs with a driving intensity that transports listeners to wilder places and simpler times. Richard P. Hall / Bob Stanley Richard P.

He then shifted his career track and began a life-long commitment to education, joining the faculty of his alma mater, Suffield Academy, in 1987. He spent thirteen years at Suffield as an English teacher, dorm parent, football and hockey coach, and in a variety of leadership positions, admissions, alumni and parent relations, development, communications, technology, and Dean of Students.

  • Memorial Minute for Kingdon Swayne
    Memorial Minute for Kingdon Swayne Kingdon Swayne was the most broadly influential member of Newtown Friends Meeting in the late twentieth century. By his distinguished appearance alone, he drew attention. When he spoke, he commanded respect; his range and depth of knowledge were impressive. When he wrote, he conveyed scholarship, understanding and insight. When he sang, he moved and inspired. And he was our friend; his manner was gentle, kind and generous. Perhaps integrity is the Quaker testimony that Kingdon modeled best. His identity was infused with Quaker values and aspirations that were sometimes difficult to reconcile with changing times and circumstances. His impressive capacity for discernment provided the basis for decisions and actions that were consistent with, sustainable and integrated in his unique personality and path in life. He was raised on the George School campus, the son of teachers, and attended Newtown Meeting from his youth. He served in the U.S. Army for four years during World War II, rising to the rank of captain and earning a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. Until his retirement in 1966, he continued to serve his country as a State Department Foreign Service diplomat in England, China, Canada, Japan and Burma. Kingdon’s success in his career reflected his love of problem solving, his peacemaking skills and his dedication to build a just and peaceful world. Returning to Newtown as a professor of political science at Bucks County Community College, he served as Mayor of Newtown, clerk of Newtown Friends Meeting, and clerk of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. He was a member of the Bucks County Choral Society and served as board member of the American Friends Service Committee and as a member and clerk of the George School Committee.
