Ruthanne Lodato Scholarship Posted on May 19, 2014May 28, 2014 From Debra Gunnerson to Christine Hagan: Northern Virginia Music Teachers Association is collecting donations for the Ruthanne Lodato Scholarship. She was gunned down and killed in her home in Alexandria Virginia. Her continued legacy through NVMTA will be a yearly scholarship to a needy student, a promotion she would have been most proud of accomplishing. With your help, we can provide each year funds for a financially needy student that would help with the burden of expensive music lessons. Send donations to Debra Gunnerson, 4509 Hazelnut Ct., Chantilly, VA 20151. Checks should be made out to NVMTA, stating Lodato scholarship in the memo area. Thank you all for your help.
