Dear Jeffrey:¶
On behalf of the students, faculty, and staff of the Interlochen Center for the Arts, I would like to thank you for your contribution of $10,000 to our scholarship fund. The generosity of you and fellow donors enables us to offer artistic and academic opportunities to students from all nations, backgrounds, and cultural heritage.¶
The final camper concert, “Les Preludes,” marks the conclusion of our 69th summer camp season. During the summer, over 1,800 campers participated in 4 and 8-week sessions with scholarship support totaling more than $800,000. Over 500 events during the 1996 Summer Arts Festival brought thousands of visitors to the campus. Just a few of the outstanding student performances during August include the high-schoolers’ presentation of the operetta “Princess Ida” and the intermediate students’ presentation of “Romeo and Juliet.”¶
During the second weekend of August, concerto winners are recognized for their achievements by performing solos with the World Youth Symphony Orchestra. As you may have heard, WYSO was an outstanding representation for Interlochen at the Olympics through their highly-praised performance in Atlanta’s Symphony Hall on July 21.¶
Thank you for joining us on campus and experiencing the magic of Interlochen first hand.¶
P. S. For tax purposes, please note that this gift was solely philanthropic. No goods or services were exchanged in return for this gift.¶
I look forward to seeing you in N.Y. this fall.¶
