Some people send email. Others pick up the phone. This appeared magically on our Facebook page from Concert Singers of Cary:

The scholarship will be awarded to a graduating North Carolina high school senior who has been accepted and will be entering a college or university in the fall of 2013 as a Music major. It will be a one-time award of $1,000 paid directly to the college of choice at the beginning of the 2013 academic year.
