Youth Recognition Award 2009

We are very happy to announce that Jonathan Cothran, a high school senior at Rockville HS Maryland is the recipient of the UMLA Youth Recognition Award for 2009.

Jonathan is a member of the School Band program and plays many instruments including clarinet and saxophone. He currently is an Honor Student with a Grade Point Average of 3.69.

We are impressed with his extra curricular activities which include lab research, cross country, football and National Honor Society. Jonathan is also a Sunday School Volunteer and was involved in the Appalachia Service Project.

He is currently a member of the Blues Alley Orchestra.

The announcement was made at the VIP reception following the Palmieri Trio concert at An Die Musik.

Our thanks to An Die Musik for asking UMLA  to co-sponsor this event and to all of our guests who shared this afternoon of great Latino Music!

Special thanks to the Palmieri Trio: Eddie Palmieri, Luques Curtis and Brian Lynch for a legendary concert. We are looking forward to a CD of the Trio.

Although Mr. Palmieri has already thanked Wanda Jimenez multiple times for the beautiful and delicious birthday cake she made for him in the shape of a gift, UMLA would like to thank her by posting the photograph below:
