Scholarship Thank You Letters
Dear PAA Scholarship Committee,
I wanted to thank the entire PAA Scholarship Committee for their very generous support in awarding me a 2013 PAA Scholarship.
I received the scholarship in honor of Demetrios and Eleni Manousakis and Elefterios Velivasakis. I am very honored to have received
this award supported by two outstanding
Cretan families of the PAA. My grandfather,
Antonios Kounalakis, and my mother, Diane
Kounalakis, have been very actively involved
with the PAA for a very long time and I hope
to be able to follow in their footsteps. They
have taught me over the years the importance
of the PAA in our lives and in our community.
I have enjoyed participating at national conventions and in local philanthropic projects.
The PAA Scholarship will help me out a lot
as I begin my studies this fall in finance at
Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
Many thanks again for your continued
support and for this outstanding scholarship. Special thanks to my grandparents,
who inspire me and who make me so proud
to be Cretan.
My best regards,
Antonios Nectarios Baxter
Dear PAA,
I would like to thank you for being honored as a recipient of the Venizelion Scholarship. I also would like to thank the Varouh
family for the scholarship in memory of Mr.
George Varouh. I am a freshman at Appalachian State University in North Carolina,
with plans to pursue a degree in exercise science. I look forward to one day being able to
donate back to the scholarship program myself. The love of our Cretan heritage and culture is something that will always be a part
of my life.
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Dionysis Protopapadakis
