Dear Friends and Members of the ISP Community, Welcome to “Night at the Tower” the International School of Prague’s Eighth Annual Fundraiser for Scholarships and Financial Aid! For the 70 years since our school’s inception in 1948, ISP has been dedicated to providing an exceptional education in a truly global environment. Over the years, the success of our Alumni is a tribute to the work not only of those who have worked at the School, but to those who have helped to ensure its firm financial foundation. For more than seventeen years, a number of our Alumni students have been the deserving recipients of generous scholarships provided by the ISP community. These students have enriched our community as much as they have been enriched.

Thank you to our “Night at the Tower” volunteer committee, without whom this evening could not have happened; thank you to our donors, without whom the Scholarship program could not thrive, and thank you to you, without whom this evening could not have been as important, or as fun. Enjoy! Dr. Arnie Bieber, Director

8. From the Bottom of my Heart “Bleskovky” -­‐ sculptures with a story In "lightning strikes" Radek Kubina is only the "co-­‐sculptor". A bolt of lightening selects a suitable tree for the work.

Then Radek Kubina completed a bespoke statue with respect to the original intentions of his fellow sculptor, lightning. Donated by: Radek Kubina

9. Gilded Birds This elegantly whimsical design, depicting stylized birds perched amongst curling vines, was designed for ARTEL by Jan Janecký, a master glass painter.

Consequently, a single glass takes approximately five to six hours to decorate, while a decanter requires about 11-­‐12 hours.
