For Immediate Release on June 28, 2022 Rhode Island Organization Wins National Marketing Award PROVIDENCE—Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rhode Island (BBBSRI) proudly won gold for a national marketing award at the Big Brothers Big Sisters of America Annual National Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana on June 22nd. BBBSRI Chief Executive Officer Katje Afonseca was present to accept the award alongside team members Katie Dawkins, Director of Development, and Kaleigh Perkins, Director of Program Impact. BBBSRI was one of 13 agencies to place out of 125 submissions nationally, winning first place in the category of Youth Recruitment. Professionals in the areas of marketing, advertising, design, and public relations judged and scored the entries, allowing for equity and legitimacy. BBBSRI won for its creation of an accordion-style growth chart, which was developed by Tina Santos, Director of Program Growth, and Nelitza Gonzalez, Program Partnership & Engagement Coordinator of BBBSRI’s mentoring team. In

addition to a measurement tool, the chart includes a place for young people (“Littles”) to explore the idea of mentorship and what a mentor looks like to them. “We wanted to create something that is both informational and interactive in order to meet Littles where they are. It was important to also include information about how to get a Big Brother or Sister and to learn about how our Donation Center supports our mission,” says Santos. The chart is dispersed at community events, schools, and social service organizations.

BBBSRI creates and supports one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth.

EXHIBITION OPENING Treasures of the Redwood: Celebrating 275 Years Monday, 27 June 2022, Newport, Rhode Island … A highlight of its 275th anniversary, the Redwood Library & Athenaeum has opened a major exhibition: Treasures of the Redwood: Celebrating 275 Years. The show brings together the full range of material absorbed in the Redwood collections over the course of the 275 years the Library has served as Newport’s intellectual center and municipal archive, as well as Rhode Island’s first art gallery. As designed, the exhibition features the Redwood’s Special Collections areas: The long 18c; Early modern architecture; Early modern Decorative arts and design and 19c portraiture. Beginning with the supremely rare working papers of the early Library itself, the minutes from the 18c; the manuscript catalog and the check-out tickets, the exhibition includes a rich selection of 18c Newport material, including Gilbert Stuart portraits; the japanned case of the masterpiece Claggett clock gifted to the Library in the 1940s; a Townsend Goddard card table and the famous manuscript diary of so-called Nailer Tom. This Newport focus is extended by a section on Palladian architecture, the architecture style derived from the Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio (1508-1580), of which the Redwood itself is the first and arguably the most important example. The next section treats the Greenough collection of 18c illustrated books, mainly French, donated to the Redwood in 1961. Among these, are masterpiece volumes of French Rococo design, a pair of the finest illustrated books of the French eighteenth century, and a handful of exceptional folio-sized festival books documenting royal pageantry. Also focused on the eighteenth century is the world-class Cary collection of ornament and pattern books featuring many rarities, including several volumes that are unique in the world or known in only two or three copies. The section culminates with a presentation of French 19c decorative drawings that correspond to an 1886 book produced by Charles Polisch, the silver medal winner at the Paris world exposition in 1878, and one of the top-drawer architectural painters of the second half of the nineteenth century. One of the highpoints of the exhibition is a wall dedicated to Newport portraitist Charles Bird King (1785-1862), one of the Redwood’s great benefactors. Besides his two self-portraits, the presentation includes a few folios of King’s 17-volume scrapbook. The exhibition reminds us of the importance of the Redwood as the cultural anchor in Newport, one that for all times embodied Newporters’ aspirations to make theirs a city of culture as well as of commerce and leisure. As described by one period source, the Library “rendered the inhabitants of Newport, if not a learned, yet a better read, and inquisitive people, than any other town in the British colonies.” The resulting collections reflect both individual tastes and a sort of aggregate autobiography of the city itself. Now open through March 5, 2023 in the Van Alen Gallery at the Redwood Library & Athenaeum. In celebration of the 275th Anniversary year admission is free. XXX

The Redwood Library & Athenæum is America’s first purpose-built library (1747), and the oldest continuously operating in its original location. Housed in the earliest public Neoclassic building in the U.S., and containing Rhode Island’s first art gallery (1875), it has functioned for nearly three-hundred years as Newport’s intellectual core, a humanities center and civic learning hub styled after ideals of ancient Athenian culture and philosophy. As an athenaeum, an interdisciplinary ‘think space’ comprising a library, museum, and research center, the Redwood is home to 200,000 volumes, with particular strengths in early American history and material culture, early modern architecture, decorative arts and garden design, eighteenth-century European illustrated books, and the history of Newport and Rhode Island. The museum holds an important collection of portrait paintings and artifacts, and features two gallery spaces for rotating exhibitions. With these resources the Redwood provides a range of cultural experiences and services: lectures, concerts, and exhibitions, in addition to a lending library and the facilities for the scholarly study of its historic holdings. Created as a community endeavor by its namesake and forty-six original proprietors—what has been described as the single “greatest act of philanthropy in colonial America”—the Redwood Library was established to “propagate virtue, knowledge and useful learning with nothing in view but the good of mankind.” Its premise is that an educated citizenry undergirds civil society and a strong republic. Today, nearly three centuries after its inception as a premier institution of the American Enlightenment, and with an acknowledgement of its founding on the profits of the slave economy of the eighteenth-century sugar trade, it is explicitly committed to the public humanities, defined here as the use of history and culture to address diverse communities so as to create a more enlightened and equitable world.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PEOPLE’S CREDIT UNION DESIGNATED BY FORBES ONE OF THE BEST CREDIT UNIONS IN RI AND THE COUNTRY FOR THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR MIDDLETOWN, RI (July 5, 2022): People’s Credit Union has been ranked by Forbes as one of the best-in-state and nationwide credit unions for the second year in a row. As part of their annual survey of the Best Credit

Unions in each state, Forbes went directly to their customers, partnering with market research firm Statista to conduct in-depth interviews of more than 26,000 U.S. citizens from all fifty states on their banking relationships. Respondents answered a detailed battery of questions focused on six separate facets of the relationship: Trust, terms & conditions (including reasonable and transparent fees), branch services, digital services, customer service, and financial advice. Based on a scale of 1-100, overall scores ranged from 73.95 and 92.54, with 171 unique credit unions nationwide qualifying to earn best-in-state accolades, representing just 3.4% of all U.S credit unions. People’s Credit Union was the only Credit Union in Rhode Island to exceed Forbes’ criteria to be included in the ranking two years in a row. “Earning this distinction two years in a row is a real testament to our team, without whom nothing even close to this designation would be possible,” stated Sean Daly, President & Chief Executive Officer for People’s Credit Union… “As Forbes points out, ‘credit unions are the unheralded lifeblood of the U.S. economy…,’ and at People’s we know that to be true now more than ever,” Daly concluded. Forbes in partnership with research firm Statista published their annual financial institution ranking report in June 2022. ABOUT PEOPLE’S CREDIT UNION People’s offers a complete range of services including online and mobile banking, savings and checking accounts, personal loans, mortgages, business accounts, business loans, and financial services. Headquartered in Rhode Island, People’s Credit Union is a member-owned, state-chartered, federally insured, community credit union established in 1922. Membership is open to all individuals. Deposits are insured up to $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), an agency of the federal government.

Photo Credit: Ann Boyer More About Christ’s College Choir: Christ’s College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Cambridge, and has had a chapel choir since its foundation in 1505. Conducted by Professor David Rowland, director of music at Christ’s College, the choir sings a selection of music from English and European choral traditions from the 16th to 20th century. The Choir's raison d'etre has, since its inception, been to sing services in the College Chapel. Choral Evensong is sung twice weekly during Full Term. More generally, the Choir makes an important contribution to the life of the College, singing at feasts, weddings, memorial services and other occasions. Today, as one of Cambridge's Þnest mixed-voice ensembles, the group also pursues an exciting range of activities outside College, performing concerts in
