WVC students receive RLS Productions scholarships

WENATCHEE -  WVC students Chasen Peart and Joi West each recently received a $1,000 scholarship from the Wenatchee Valley College Foundation.
“This scholarship has helped me to upgrade key parts in my home desktop so that I can run the software easier and to help me produce better work in the future,” Peart said.
“I was displaced from my communications job due to restructuring,” West said. “I decided to return to college to get a degree in graphic design. I had 14 years of experience, but no ‘paperwork’ to prove my skills. This scholarship will help me finish my degree so I can return to work with the additional knowledge and resources I need to be successful in my field.”
These scholarships are made possible from direct donations to the RLS Productions’ Concerts in the Gardens WVC Foundation account by Horan Estates Winery and The Names Foundation. The RLS Productions’ Concerts in the Gardens is a five-week summer concert series held annually through July and early August at Ohme Gardens in Wenatchee. The concert series is produced by Robert and Rio Sandidge co-owners of RLS Productions, LLC.
Support comes from direct sponsorships, ticket sales and supporters of the concert series. RLS Productions set a goal in 2014 of raising $35,000 to endow a scholarship for the Wenatchee Valley College Foundation. Since 2014, it has raised $29,500 in donations. To date, $10,000 has been awarded in annual scholarships.
The 2018 summer concert series occurs every Thursday for five weeks from July 5 to August 2. For more information on the concert series, visit RLStalent.com.
