LCA Scholarship Winners

Langhorne Council for the Arts (LCA) is pleased to announce the 2008 LCA Scholarship in the Arts award winners. The four recipients are not only very talented but all are also very active in many diverse school and community organizations. Each will use the scholarship money to pursue enrichment opportunities in the arts. The awards were presented at the studios of Nina and Michael Wommack on Friday, May 2nd. Nearly 50 people attended the ceremony, including LCA members, local artists, members of Langhorne Borough Council and the recipients' families.

Deanna will apply her award toward the study of ballet, hip-hop and other styles of dance. Christopher Smirnov, an eighth grader at Maple Point Middle School, has talent in the visual and performing arts. A gifted violinist who plays in his school orchestra, Christopher is also a member of the Youth Orchestra of Bucks County and aspires to a career as a professional musician with hopes of attending a prestigious conservatory after high school. Chris will use his scholarship for private lessons to help him attain that goal.
