Today I want to tell you about the fund raising concert I had at Mr. & Mrs. Markovich’s house in Thousand Oaks, California. Mr. & Mrs. Markovich were so kind to arrange this concert for me to raise funding for my studying and performing in Europe for this summer. I appreciate Mr. & Mrs. Markovich and Uncle Jack from “Pianos Wholesale” in Temple City for making this fund raising concert possible. I want to say thank you to everyone who come to the concert, and I appreciate everyone who gave me the contribution. I will remember your help, and I will work hard!
