LAKE COUNTY – Lake County Association of Realtors (LCAOR) is proud to announce the Lake County High School graduating seniors who have been selected to receive scholarships for 2009.

The recipients were selected based upon their essay, academic merit, community involvement and financial need.

LCAOR was able to raise a total of $4,400 to present to this year's recipients.

They congratulate April Casperson of Loconoma Valley High School; Katie Falconer and Nycole Copping of Clear Lake High School; Anna Devries and Thonyoon Chao of Upper Lake High School; Emmalena Illia and Tiffany Blank of Lower Lake High School; and Nicholas Reed, Wade Holley, Karin Vandraiss and Matthew Jones of Kelseyville High School for their hard work and dedication to their future.

The scholarship presented to the students of Kelseyville High School is presented in honor of Gary Barber, an important and influential member of the Lake County real estate community, who is remembered for, among other things, his dedication and hard work to spearhead legislation of benefit to property owners here in Lake County and in the state of California.

LCAOR said its in debt to Barber for the accomplishments made during his real estate career.

The group thanked its committee members, Leonard Lea, Bob Kiesman, Irene Rivas, Shevaun Stanfill, Rob Ishihara, Leslie Kirchner and Kalyn Noble for the planning, organization and selection process that brought these scholarship awards to this year's recipients.
