I want to thank the Fairfax Lions Club for the generous donation of $400 to the Bland Music Foundation. This allows us to continue to award scholarships each year. I am gratified that you agree that these young, dedicated, talented musicians are deserving of our support.
As you already know, the contestants always display musicianship and professionalism of the highest order. Many of our state participants go on to attend the top music schools and conservatories in the country. Upon graduation, they enrich the cultural life of our country through teaching and performing.
Conornavirus-19 has interrupted our competition schedule this year but we have been able to hold many of the local and zone level competitions. As soon as it is safe to resume, we will move forward and hopefully be able to hold the state competition in a central location by the beginning of August..
Again, many thanks for your continued support. We could not operate without clubs such as yours!
Yours in Lionistic Service,
Shirley Wilson, Bland State Foundation Chairperson
