Dear Anonymous Donor,

As recipient of the Anonymous Award for Provincial Representative I am writing to thank

you for your generous contribution. This scholarship money will assist me in my journey to
compose, perform, and commission new music for the 10-String Guitar at a professional level.
The professional but nurturing atmosphere and adjudications that the Kiwanis festival
provides its participants have always been very productive and encouraging for me.
Without the generosity of patrons such as yourself, many young artists such as myself cannot
afford to study and continue sharing the art that we love bringing to the world!
Sincerely,
Julian Bertino
