UP WITH PEOPLE Endowed Scholarship Fund established

UWPIAA gifts $50,000 to Up with People T by Marc Barbeau, Vice President of Advancement for Up with People he Up with People International Alumni Association Endowed Scholarship was funded by gifts made to the UWPIAA by alumni and friends. “The alumni partner with Up with People in a myriad of ways, including financially. The UWPIAA is especially proud to be making a gift of this size that will help support Up with People for many years to come.” says Keith Frohreich, UWPIAA President. The purpose of the endowed scholarship fund is to provide financial support for students who represent Up with People’s traditional underrepresented constituencies of male performers, ethnic minorities and musicians. “This is the kind of scholarship assistance that can make the difference in so many ways,” says Eric Anderson, Vice President of Admission for Up with People. “Our alumni are a critical component of our recruiting strategy and with this Endowed Scholarship they have taken the next step to ensure that worthy and talented students have the same opportunities that so many of us once had.” UWPIAA has been contemplating how best to establish this scholarship. “A great deal of thought and foresight was put into this agreement to ensure its lasting impact,” indicates Marc Barbeau, Vice President of

EUROPE

An invitation to the European Alumni Meeting and great fun in Tallinn by Merle Zimmer, D96, Estonia (on behalf of the EAM Tallinn team)

e would like to remind you all that there will be a European Alumni Meeting (EAM) in Tallinn, Estonia, May 1–4. Tallinn is the capital city of Estonia and the heart of Estonia’s business life. We as locals say that Tallinn is known for its excellent choice of restaurants, wide variety of sights to see, places to visit and culture to experience–galleries, museums, a unique Seaplane Harbor, TV Tower, Rotermanni Quarter, exceptional architecture, Kumu

Art Museum, cozy wineries, lounges with live music, etc. in old town and around it. Our old town is like out of a fairytale. Also, modern necessities like shopping centers are open 7 days a week and you’ll find free wireless Internet everywhere. This year’s event theme is “Sharing the e-story.” What does this mean? It can be “e” like Estonia. It can also stand for innovation and smart solutions in today’s world: everything is “e”lectronic these days, enabling fast and effective communication. And last but not least, Estonia has received a lot of praise for being a real e-country (e-tax returns, e-parking, the original home of Skype, etc.). And “sharing” – what a great Up with People verb! UWP was all about sharing. A lot in our lives today is also about sharing. Why not share some more?! Town hall in Tallinn, Estonia, Besides the beautiful location for the 2014 EAM, May1 - 4, 2014 Tallinn, we offer a wide

variety of EAM activities and events to take part in. Scheduled for Tallinn EAM is also a BOG meeting and any alumni who are interested in listening can join in. Besides the daytime EAM meetings, there will be entertainment, dinners, sightseeing, community involvement, take your pick! Friday and Saturday evening events are still being planned but we can promise great venues and fun happenings. More information to follow! We also have lined up visits to the Estonian Parliament and to the Town Hall plus various cool places to see, eat at or dance in. Also, the EAM hotel is one of the popular ones in Tallinn and is located in walking distance from old town Tallinn (about a 10-minute scenic walk that takes you straight to the Freedom Square). In order to register and find more information, please go to the official website of EAM Tallinn at www.uwpeam.com. See you all in Tallinn–the city with a nice urban vibe in a cozy setting. Not to mention that May is probably the most beautiful time of year to be here. Mark your calendars now! n

Every day seems to be a reunion day as the 1965-1970 Era Facebook page tops 800 members. New and old photographs and memories are constantly posted, and friendships are being renewed and formed. There’s a lot of happy chatter, but also so many instances of alumni making a difference in each other’s lives. The official Facebook page for 1965-1970 alumni of Sing Out and Up with People is www.facebook.com/groups/ singoutuwp/ and it is open to any alumni who traveled in that era. Please help us reach out and find them all!

Through its Mara’s Trust, the members of Cast A72 have rallied behind castmate Marcia Tweed Klecker and her family by helping their extremely talented daughter on her journey through college. Hannah Davis Robson has made the amazingly generous offer to match any donations of up to $5,000 given until May 1, 2014. And Steve Turpen has made the insanely generous offer to do your federal tax return if you’ll donate part or all of your refund to Mara’s Trust. Thank you, Hannah and Steve! You can donate by check or Paypal. You will find all the details on www.marastrust.org.

(Submitted by Lee Ann Hamilton, Cast Rep, D77) On February 3, 2014, Cast D77 had a mini-reunion in Tucson, AZ while Hanne Halseth was visiting from Norway and Kathy Stubbs Ziola was visiting from Colorado, USA. There were only six of us, but because we had such a small cast, we represented 10% of our cast! Joining Hanne and Kathy were Mia Hansen, Dan Gunther, Cyndy Watson, and Lee Ann Hamilton. Together again in Tucson. Friends for almost 37 years!!

While registration is growing from our era for Celebrate 50! in Orlando, our 1984 casts are also eagerly anticipating their 30th reunion this summer in Tucson. They are engaged in a friendly competition for which cast can have the largest turnout. Many alumni from our era have children who attend Camp UWP and/or join Up with People to experience life on the road. Many from our era have also taken part in the special alumni adventures organized by UWP; most recently to Rome and, coming up in June 2014, to Israel. Join us on Facebook (UWP Alumni 1981-85) and stay connected!

Camp Up with People alumni currently touring with Cast A14

I am now touring with Up with People along with my fellow campers Malin from Norway and Charlie from Switzerland. All of us agree that Camp Up with People changed our lives and helped to prepare us for our first month in Denver. Staging has been similar to our three weeks in the beautiful woods of Virginia. Every day we practice Camp Up with People alumni and current cast international medleys and dances along A14 members (left to right) Malin Øygard, with songs that pertain to real world Norway; Charlotte “Charlie” Loopuijt, issues.

Bridge Builders scatters seeds of change in Alaska by Malcolm B. Roberts, Sing Out ‘65, USA uthor James Newton once compared Up with People to the “dynamite tree” in the garden of his friend, inventor Thomas Edison. He said that every year, the tree’s seed pods grew until they exploded, scattering seeds in all directions. “That,” he concluded, “is what is happening with Up with People.” I agree. After traveling in the original cast of Sing Out ‘65, I wrote for Pace Magazine, a journalistic vision sponsored by Sing Out. Later, I worked for Wally Hickel, past governor of Alaska and then-U.S. Secretary of the Interior. When Hickel left the cabinet, he invited my wife, Cindy, and me to Alaska where we became involved in politics. It is here that Bridge Builders has taken root and where, like Up with People, it is scattering seeds of positive change. Since 1996, Bridge Builders has crafted a community of friends among diverse cultures in a region where over 100 different languages are spoken. My experience with Up with People and its mission to build bridges of understanding between all people gave me the ideal background for this project. To date, people from 43 cultures have taken part in Bridge Builders activities such as the Meet the World in Anchorage festival, showcasing 30 or more ethnic communities; an Independence Day parade in which new and lifelong citizens celebrate side by side; and a Unity Gala to honor the community service of unsung heroes. Our goal is to make Anchorage the first city without prejudice. Here in the Far North, Bridge Builders is a working model of cooperation and growth for other communities with diverse population. The program has significantly reduced discrimination and forged bonds of understanding and support among residents. If you would like to learn more about the Bridge Builders concept, contact us at mal@gci.net or check out our website at www.bridgebuildersak.org.
