(Contact: tel: 212.838.4200 |212.838.4838) The Belgian- American Chamber of Commerce presented the first-ever "Peter Minuit Award" to F. Guillame Bastiaens ("Bassy"), Vice Chairman, Cargill. The award ceremony was held during the BACC Annual Welcome Dinner for American Investments in Belgium. Presenting the award to Mr. Bastiaens, known affectionately as "Bassy" by friends, supporters and admirers, on behalf of the BACC and FORTIS was Mr. Jean-Pierre Paulet, President of The The Belgian American Chamber of Commerce and Deputy CEO of Fortis. The Honorable Dominique Struye De Swielande, Belgian Ambassador to the U.S. also addressed guests to the gala dinner. A highlight of the evening was Belgian-American Singer Tony Sandler's personal homage to Guillaume. Named for Peter Minuit, the historical figure whom in 1626 became the first Belgian businessman in New York for purchasing Manhattan from the native Indians for $24 worth of trinkets, this award recognizes companies that are instrumental in forging positive trade and corporate relations between Belgium and the United States. Past honorees include notables such as Mr. Henry Kissinger, former U.S. Secretary of State, and Viscount Etienne Davignon, Minister of State, former European Commissioner and Vice Chairman of Suez Tractebel, Baron Georges Jacobs, Chairman of the Board of Directors of UCB and Karen Katen, Vice Chairman, Pfizer Inc. and President, Pfizer Human Health. This year, the BACC has chosen Mr. Guillaume Bastiaens to receive the award. In 1998, Mr. Bastiaens was appointed the Vice-Chairman of Cargill, one of the largest privately-owned family businesses in the world. Under his inspiring leadership, it has since grown into a formidable multinational brand and company within the industries of food, agricultural and risk management products and services. The Cargill Group employs more than 150,000 employees around the world, with more than 900 stationed in Belgium. "Through honoring U.S.-Belgian business success stories such as Mr. Bastiaens and his accomplishments, we hope to show the growth potential of investing in and trading with Belgium," states Jean-Pierre Paulet, President of BACC and Deputy CEO of Fortis Bank USA. "Belgium is and has always been the ideal European destination of choice for investors and at the The Belgian-American Chamber of Commerce, we are constantly finding new trade opportunities in Belgium to support and present to U.S. businesses."

Eyebeam Art & Technology Center honored Craigslist founder Craig Newmark at its annual "Freedom & Creativity" fundraising benefit. Proceeds raised from the evening will help underwrite Eyebeam's international fellowship and residency programs for artists and creative technologists, more than 300 of whom have benefited since 1997. Benefit Event Chairs: John S. Johnson and Jazz J. Merton Benefit Committee Chairs: Tatiana Platt and Bryce Wolkowitz Benefit Committee: Jed Alpert, Marc and Caryn Becker, Laura Dawn, Ze Frank, Andrea Harner, Garrett and Maureen Heher, Arianna Huffington, Jaime Johnson, Jonah Peretti, Marc Schiller, Lily Johnson Whitall.Eyebeam Executive Director Amanda McDonald Crowley described Craig Newmark as a natural choice for Eyebeam stating "His commitment to democratic ideals and networked communities is tremendous, and serves as a model for many of us here at Eyebeam." Craigslist began as an email list in 1995 and has today become a widespread and largely free community resource available in as many as 567 cities in 50 countries worldwide, and which receives more than 10 billion hits per month. Craig Newmark is a software engineer by training and has more than 30 years of IT experience at companies such as IBM and Bank of America. Craig now spends his days working as a customer service representative at craigslist. Craig is involved with a variety of community efforts and is particularly interested in organizations promoting public diplomacy, peace in the Middle East, and new forms of media such as participatory journalism. Comedy Central comedian John Mulaney served as the evening’s master of ceremonies. Mulaney, who is originally from Chicago, has been featured on TV shows Conan OʼBrien and Jimmy Kimmel Live, and has performed at numerous festivals nationwide. The New York-based DJ trio The Misshapes and hosts of the now-defunct party of the same name—whose legacy of online party photos and retrospective catalog inspired many a website—performed at the evening’s after-party. The Misshapes are Geordon Nicol, Leigh Lezark and Greg Krelenstein One-night only performances and installations by Eyebeam artists showcased the talent of artists working in the labs. Eyebeam’s exterior will serve as the staging ground for senior fellow Geraldine Juárez’s Hanging Space—hacked scaffolding that functions as literal streetside “hang out” outfitted with a custom-made, construction-lamp chandelier. For guests accustomed to persistent paparazzo, artist Taeyoon Choi’s automated, image-producing robotic ducks will be a quirky replacement. The camerautomata ducks will be responsible for the majority of sidewalk shooting, while Fame Theory’s celebrity ticker kept tabs on art world movers and shakers in a discreet location above the bar. Inside, guests were greeted by a kinetic motion-tracking wall of shimmering light by fellow Addie Wagenknecht, resident Joe Winter displayed his explorations of the unknown, and fellow Zach Lieberman’s Drawn installation will make drawings come to life. Elsewhere around the space, alum Benton-C Bainbridge’s specially commissioned videos were projected onto six screens.

"Savoring Citymeals"-An Intimate Sunday Dinner with Daniel Boulud to Benefit Citymeals-on-Wheels : NEW YORK, NY –SUNDAY, APRIL 13, 2008 – Daniel Boulud personally hosted an intimate Sunday supper tonight. It was his 10th annual Savoring Citymeals-- a gourmet event of the season since its inception in 1998. One hundred and fifty New Yorkers gathered at Daniel for this exquisite dinner raising $645,000 for Citymeals-on-Wheels, a non-profit organization that provides home-delivered, nutritious meals to frail, homebound elderly in New York City. "Daniel has been a long-time supporter of Citymeals-on-Wheels and his generosity has contributed to the well-being of thousands of elderly New Yorkers we help feed year after year," said Marcia Stein, Executive Director of Citymeals-on-Wheels. "Tonight’s event will go far in helping to sustain our invisible and most vulnerable neighbors." The celebration opened with a cocktail and tasting reception featuring lavish hors d’oeuvres and a silent auction of rare, large format wines and luxurious table top and culinary items. The evening then unfolded with an unparalleled culinary experience. From the Butter Poached Lobster to the Moroccan Spiced Squab and the Trio of Spring Lamb, the sumptuous menu was prepared personally by Daniel Boulud and his chefs and pastry chefs from Daniel, Café Boulud, DB Bistro Moderne, and the new Bar Boulud. The gala dinner was accompanied by wines from Au Bon Climat, Taittinger and Hirsch Vineyards. "Everyday my staff and I prepare wonderful meals for quite privileged New Yorkers," said Boulud. "Working with Citymeals is a very rewarding way for us to contribute to much less fortunate New Yorkers. This city has embraced me with such generosity and support, this is one of the ways I can show my gratitude." The live "Take a Chef Home" auction included four one-of-a-kind dinners to be prepared in private homes by the award-winning talents of Boulud’s New York City restaurants, each promising to whip up a tour-de-force tasting menu in the recipient’s kitchens. Bar Boulud’s Executive Chef Damian Sansonetti and Charcutier Sylvain Gasdon; Olivier Muller, Executive Chef at DB Bistro Moderne; Gavin Kaysen, Executive Chef at Café Boulud; and Jean François Bruel, Executive Chef at Daniel were the star attractions of these spectacular auction packages. Each of the restaurants’ sommeliers, along with Chef Boulud’s renowned Wine Director Daniel Johnnes, provided expert wine pairings to complete the auction lots. Impeccable white glove table service for these at home dinners will be supplied by Boulud’s Feast & Fêtes Catering. The guest auctioneer was none other than Gail Simmons of Bravo TV’s "Top Chef." The gala was the culmination of a weekend’s worth of Citymeals events at Daniel, including a stunning eight course / 20 wine luncheon co-hosted by Daniel Boulud and wine guru, Robert Parker. Official sponsors of Citymeals-on-Wheels: American Airlines, FIJI Water, MasterCard and Nespresso. One hundred percent of the evening’s proceeds will directly support the preparation and delivery of meals to the elderly.
