Ms. Marie-Josée Lévesque

Dear Marie-Josée,

From the National Circus School's year-end student show to the Wuhan International Festival in China, you certainly have come a long way!

It was indeed with great pleasure and tremendous pride that I learned you had distinguished yourself recently at this festival, thanks to your Washington trapeze number. It was very important for me to congralute you personally for this remarkable accomplishment.

I know you invested enormous amounts of time and energy into this routine to achieve such a terrific result, and I believe the recognition you are now receiving is greatly deserved. But above all, you truly put your heart into it, and you really enjoy yourself doing it—and that is what makes the difference between a good number, and a number that carries some "punch."

I am very happy to know that you are part of our great big family, and I am sure that everyone here joins me in telling you:

Bravo, Marie-Josée!
