Vail Family, Thank you so much for selecting me as the recipient of the Frank Vail Memorial Scholarship! This award will go a long way in helping me pursue my passions in music and allow me to pass them on to future generations. I hope to embody Frank's spirit and love of music and be a steward of musicianship and intentionality wherever I go. I will be attending Michigan State University this fall for a major in Flute Performance. Though I'm not sure exactly where my future will take me in my music career, I hope to be able to share my talent and love of music with others and inspire new musicians for the rest of my life. This scholarship will allow me to continue to spread joy through music, and I am so grateful for that. Again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your consideration and for choosing me as a recipient of this scholarship. Your generosity and support of the arts are the biggest gifts I could ask for. It is truly an honor to possess the characteristics and carry the legacy of Frank Vail with me. Sincerely, Penelope Wernet
