DFW Elite Toy Museum Hosts Pre Grand Opening Party for Salesman Sample Exhibit to Help Dog Rescue

On Tuesday July 16, DFW Elite Toy Museum will hold a Grand Opening party to unveil its latest exhibit of Salesman Samples, featuring a working demonstrator model of a late 19th century Adams Road Grader that was appraised on an episode of Antiques Road Show as well as many other antique sales presentation models and patent models.

"Very often salesman samples were used to demonstrate large-scale equipment that it was not easy to transport," said DFW Museum owner Ron Sturgeon. "Imagine trying to explain a folding attic stair or show prospects how a hay baler or road grader works without a working scale model," said Sturgeon.

"We are very lucky to have had the chance to acquire the Adams Road Grader sample with its case shortly after it was on Antiques Road Show," said Rodney Ross, museum curator. "It is a spectacular model in near mint condition that has appraised over ten thousand dollars."

The event will be on Tuesday, July 16 from 530-8:30 pm at DFW Elite Toy Museum, 5940 Eden Drive in Fort Worth and dress is casual. The event is a fundraiser for Cavalier Rescue, and guests will be asked to make a $10 donation at the door to help fund this breed-specific dog rescue.

DFW Elite Toy Museum has a 300-piece collection of antique toys, rare scale models, and one-of-a-kind auto memorabilia. The museum is pet-friendly, public, and admission is free. The exhibit will run through August 31.

"Anyone who visits DFW Elite Toy Museum will notice two things: Ron's love of cars and his love of dogs," Ross said. "We're excited about the event and hoping for a great turnout to help a worthy cause."

To RSVP for the event, contact Jennifer Knittel at jenniferk@rdsinvestments.com or at 817-999-0980.

Imperial War Museum to Reopen with a Bang

London's Imperial War Museum in Waterloo has been closed since January for a major GBP135 million redevelopment but it will reopen with a bang on June 29th when the prime attraction will be a new family exhibition, Horrible Histories: Spies, based on the popular children's books by Terry Deary.

The museum's new look will also include a new programme of contemporary art and photography and a rehang of the museum's art collection, while further refurbishment will ensure the museum's First World War galleries are ready for the centenary of the conflict in August 2014. Travellers planning to visit the museum can conveniently book their accommodation on LondonTown.com, where there's a wide range of London hotels near Waterloo to suit all budgets.

The Spies exhibition will immerse visitors in the eye-opening world of Second World War espionage, including codes and ciphers, disguises, camouflage, forgeries and gadgets. Kids will get the chance to dress up, snoop, pry and crack secret codes. The spy theme will continue in Secret War, an ongoing IWM London exhibition exploring the fascinating world of espionage, covert operations and the work of Britain's Special Forces, whose number including James Bond creator Ian Fleming. Both the exhibitions are listed on LondonTown.com.

What visitors may not realise is that the Imperial War Museum is located just a short walk from one of London's secret gems. Waterloo is one of London's most interesting quarters. It is centred around Lower Marsh, an old market street that is now lined with interesting boutiques and bric-a-brac shops, great cheap food places, specialist bookshops and London's only outdoor graffiti gallery - a multi-coloured subway on Leake Street that is home to some of London's most dynamic street art. It's also just a short hop from here to the South Bank, where there is always something exciting taking place - from outdoor theatre and street food to live music and second-hand book markets.

Scottsdale Community College and U.S. Holocaust Museum Present "Genocide Awareness Week"

An unprecedented week of events highlighting genocide and the legacy of such atrocities, from Germany and Armenia to Rwanda/Burundi, Bosnia and Darfur, will be presented at Scottsdale Community College April 8-13, 2013.

The SCC Honors Program in cooperation with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum presents "Genocide Awareness Week: Understand, Act and Protect" as part of Genocide Awareness and Prevention Month. All events and exhibits are free and open to the public.

The series of educational events include discussions with genocide survivors, such as Holocaust survivor Otto Schimmel. He will speak during the opening evening event on Monday, April 8, along with Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett and Scottsdale Mayor Jim Lane.

Cindy McCain, wife of U.S. Sen. John McCain, also will discuss her experiences in the Congo in an afternoon session.

Notable scholars scheduled to speak include Dr. Richard Hovannisian, a UCLA professor and expert on the Armenian genocide, and Dr. Esad Boskailo, M.D., a University of Arizona professor and author who survived Bosnian concentration camps.

Maximilian Lerner, a refugee from Austria who escaped through France and Portugal to the U.S. and returned to Europe during the war as a spy, will speak on Thursday, April 11. He penned two novels based on his experiences.

Art exhibits, a documentary premiere, a movie screening and two standing exhibits will be featured as well. Authors will be available to sign their books, which will be available for purchase in the SCC Bookstore.

The two standing exhibits, Camp Darfur and the One Million Bones Project, will offer interactive displays and information throughout the week. Camp Darfur will feature five refugee tents providing information about five different genocides: the Holocaust, Armenia, Cambodia, Rwanda/Burundi and Darfur. The Million Bones Project allows persons to create a plaster cast of a bone, which represents a symbol of genocide.

Renowned Scottsdale-based artist Robert Sutz will show his "We Remember: Holocaust Art" exhibit in SCC's Fine Arts Building throughout the week. As a tribute to his father, whose family died in Nazi concentration camps, Sutz creates life masks of Holocaust survivors and Holocaust scenes.

Another exhibit, Sonja's Legacy, will feature watercolor artwork created by Sonja Fischerova while she was at Terezin Concentration Camp during World War II. She died at age 13 in Auschwitz but her paintings were later discovered by a family member in a Prague museum.

Other presentations include a report on domestic terrorism and civil rights from two FBI agents and the Anti-Defamation League and Phoenix Police Department teaming up to share information on hate crimes.

On Saturday, April 13, educators from across the state will attend a day-long training session focused on learning how to use activities to teach about the Holocaust and other genocides.They also will hear from scholar Timothy Kaiser, director of Educational Resources and Wexner Center at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, and featured guest Carl Wilkens, the former head of the Adventist Development and Relief Agency International in Rwanda. In 1994, he was the only American who chose to remain in the country after the genocide began. The event is sponsored by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Most of the events will be in the Turquoise Room in SCC's Student Center except for the opening evening event, which will be in SCC's Performing Arts Center.

Teachers seeking to participate in the Saturday training session should contact Kim Klett at klklett(at)mpsaz(dot)org. To register, visit http://www.cvent.com/d/bcq443.

Other sponsors of this event are Mesa Community College and SCC's Phi Theta Kappa.
