Parachute/Battlement Mesa Chamber of Commerce

The following Parachute/Battlement Mesa Area Chamber of Commerce scholarships were given out at the Grand Valley High School awards night held on May 29th, 2011. A continuing education scholarship of $500 was given to Kaity Brown, who is attending UNC at Greeley. Three, $1000 scholarships were given to the following individuals: Christopher Chartier, Stefanie Lane Horton and Amanda Jablonsky. Each of these high school gradulated seniors have a grade point average of 3.566 or above.

The Parachute/Battlement Mesa Area Chamber of Commerce was able to give the continuing education scholarship and an additional $1000 scholarship due to the generosity of Williams Production, RMT and the Grand Valley High School Wrestling Team. The GVHS Wrestling Team was "auctioned off" at the annual Chamber Auction and they were purchased by Williams Production, RMT. The funds that were raised were split 50/50 between the GVHS Wrestling Team and the Scholarship fund. The GVHS Wrestling Team worked very hard one Saturday morning and picked up 52 bags of trash going up 215 Road, plus numerous other articles of debris. That is a good example of the community working together.
