 To Shoshanna Payne Philips, La Voix Studio & The Music De Maison Foundation:
I wish to thank everyone who was an integral part of this truly stellar award ceremony and gala. It was so well done. The grace and elegance that ensued the evening was in my estimation tantamount to any other awards gala I have ever attended. It was plain to see that La Voix Studio cares for their students. The children were so excited to perform, and perform they did! It was delightful to see them eager to show what they have been trained by La Voix to do. It was a joy to watch this next generation of students who will become performers in their own right. Kudos! to LaVoix Studio & The Music De Maison Foundation. Watching the video montage of The Supremes brought back such good memories, especially that of Scherrie Payne and I on tour with Diana Ross in 2000. That was a special time for me. The Supremes are, and will always be, a huge part of my musical journey, and for that I am grateful. You know a company has been a force in the music industry when the music is still playing, and vinyl records are making a comeback! Motown music will never die! Thank you to the company that made it all happen. It goes without saying that having my darling grandchildren present me with this beautiful award was a highlight of the evening for me. That is something I will never forget! Thank You for giving me that precious memory. I want to say a huge THANK YOU to all of my friends that supported that evening. It was heart warming to see them, and of course….The Fans! The people who have kept this group feeling motivated to continue. The fans of The Supremes are AMAZING! We Love you all! I must say that reuniting with Scherrie Payne and Joyce Vincent on stage was like going home! It was rewarding and just plain FUN! We love to work together, and we enjoy each other so much. The Gala was just that…A Gala Event that I will not soon forget… THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! KEEP THE MUSIC PLAYING Love Always Lynda Laurence

 Hello Friends, If you missed the affair on Sunday, April 23rd. at the American Jewish University where The Supremes and J. Randy Taraborrelli were honored, you really missed a spectacular event! It was engaging, first-class all the way. It was wonderful to be reunited and sing with my Supremes' sister, Lynda Laurence. It was a power-packed and fun-filled night of happy memories. Susaye Greene, Lynda and I were humbled to tears by the onstage recognition of applause from the audience. It was heartfelt... I'd like to personally thank Maison de Music Foundation for honoring the nine Supremes with this beautiful Golden Icon award!... I'm so thankful to have been a part of such an iconic group that helped put Motown Records on the world-wide map. The original Supremes, Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard made it all possible. It was an unforgettable life-time experience for me. Our fans are incredible! Forever devoted and true! Motown and The Supremes changed my life; I never looked back! It was a magnificent journey! I've truly been blessed! The students who performed were simply outstanding! Such talent!! La Voix Studio has done a fabulous job helping to develop these young people. I can't say enough about it. I was so impressed! The audience agreed. Shoshana P. Phillips, Charles Eugene and staff worked incredibly hard to make this happen. But, they still need your help. Maison de Music is a 501 C3 organization and its commitment to the youth and those aspiring to reach greater heights, musically, is the central focus. If you weren't able to attend, you can still help by making a donation. Any amount will be welcomed. And, to those who were in attendance, you can also make an additional contribution to this worthy-cause... Thank you so much for helping make dreams come true... Please CLICK on the link below...
