George M. Stuart Music Scholarship Fund Event at the Stealth
« on: November 01, 2005, 12:09:24 AM »
On Friday, November 25, 2005, the George M. Stuart Music Scholarship Fund, Inc., will sponsor a Thanksgiving Soiree at the Stealth Restaurant and Club.  The affair will take place from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM with a complimentary buffet from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM.  Tickets are $20.00 in advance and $25.00 at the door.

The George M. Stuart Music Scholarship Fund, Inc. provides one (1) year music scholarships to children between the ages of 8 and 14 years.  George M. Stuart, a Hackensack High School graduate, served as the Minister of Music at the Mount Olive Baptist Church, Hackensack, New Jersey until his death.  George believed that any child who wished to study music should have that opportunity.  In the hopes of carrying out George's dream, several friends and family members started the scholarship fund.  This is the third year that the scholarship fund is in existence.  The first recipient of the scholarship was Ms. Vashon Williams.  Alexis Khan received the second scholarship.  Both of these young women chose to study piano and received lessons at the Musically Yours Studios in Hackensack.

It is hoped that through the proceeds of this fundraiser, more than one scholarship per year can be given.  For those who are unable to attend, donations will be accepted.  Checks may be made payable to the “George M. Stuart Music Scholarship Fund, Inc." and mailed to the:

George M. Stuart Music Scholarship Fund, Inc.

Hackensack, New Jersey.
