It is pleasing to see that Lillian B. Gilmour (Lola Belle Shackelford) demonstrated her interest in music long, long ago, that her legacy inspires and assists young musicians in the Kansas City area today, ...

In late 2008, the Kansas City Musical Club received a generous bequest of $25,000 from the Lillian B. Gilmour estate. Mrs. Gilmour's only stipulation was that the fund be used "to provide for the musical education of children". A committee was formed and the initial grants were awarded in the fall of 2010. The final grants from the Gilmour bequest were awarded in the spring of 2016.
