Audrey Lundeen Scholarship Award Presented at
Christmas by the Lake CD Release Party

 

The first $1,000 Audrey Lundeen Scholarship Award, on behalf of the Bluebird Foundation, was awarded to Stephanie Britz. She received her scholarship check at the Christmas by the Lake CD Release party on Thursday, November 20, at the Greysolon Ballroom.

Britz, who is a senior at the Harbor City International School in Duluth, has been accepted to Gustavus Adolphus College. While she plans to major in science, she intends to continue to pursue her interest in music, playing the flute.

Britz has participated in UMD’s Honor Band, UMD’s Flute Day, and has earned Superior Ratings in the Minnesota State High School League’s ensemble contests.

On winning the award, Britz said, “It means so much to me to win this scholarship. I definitely want to continue to play the flute in college and beyond. Whether it means I play in the college’s orchestra or wind ensemble or possibly minor in music, I am thrilled that I can keep on with my passion of playing the flute.”

The Scholarship is named in honor of Audrey Lundeen, mother of Bluebird Foundation’s president Tracy Lundeen, who inspired and supported him in pursuing his musical talents.

Christmas by the Lake Volume 8, a compilation of holiday songs by Northland musicians will be available beginning November 21st at Duluth/Superior/Cloquet/Two Harbors Super One Food locations and Pam's Hallmark in the Miller Hill Mall.

All proceeds for the Christmas by the Lake CDs will support the Bluebird Foundation’s mission: To be an advocate for area youth in the performing arts and to create awareness of the power of the arts to enhance self-esteem, to increase understanding of others, and to improve academic performance.”
