David L. Jones Scholarship

"Dear Motet Singers and Supporters",

 
Thank you so much for presenting me with the David L. Jones Vocal Scholarship. Your generosity will make a difference in my future as a singer. I am so very grateful for having been given the opportunity to apply for this scholarship, and I feel even more grateful for having been awarded this gift.
 
Your spirit of giving in honor of David L. Jones will help music to live on in my future, at the very least, as I will be a music major at Xavier University next Fall. Let me express my gratitude by thanking you once more - THANK YOU !!
 
Sincerely,
 
Laura King"
