Citrus Youth Orchestra President Rebecca Limehouse conducts students at the Celebration of Life for Harold Seckinger, Founding President of CYESO

CYESO Founding President and President Emeritus, Harold Seckinger passed away May 31. A Celebration of Life was held June 7 at Heinz Funeral Home in Inverness. Many of our CYESO students attended and performed a few of Mr. Harold's favorite songs to honor him. His family and friends, current and past, gathered and shared their fondest memories of their time spent with Harold, and also got to enjoy a slideshow of photos from his life. We will miss him dearly, and are truly blessed to have known him.

CYESO Vice President, Martin Hoffman, broached the idea of establishing a Harold Seckinger Memorial Scholarship Fund so that no family or student would be unable to join the orchestra. Within a day, the Board of Directors voted to implement that suggestion. Contributions to the Harold Seckinger Memorial Scholarship Fund may be made online using the below "Donate" button, or by mailing a check made out to CYESO to PO. Box 2401 Inverness, FL. 34451. Please indicate on your check “Scholarship Fund.”
