The check presentation was held at the Southwest Community Center, one of five venues for the March 2012 Community Concerts that featured Mariangela Vacatello, a 2009 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition finalist. Ms. Vacatello performed works by Mozart, Debussy, Prokofiev, and Liszt and participated in a question and answer session with the attendees after her recitals.
