The Wenatchee Valley College (WVC) Foundation is hosting a Business After Hours networking event at the WVC Music and Art Center (MAC) from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. on February 29. This event is free and open to the public.

Business After Hours is a monthly networking event co-hosted by the Wenatchee Valley Chamber of Commerce that focuses on bringing together local business professionals.

The evening will include an alumni panel, live piano music performed by WVC student Tanner Burns, raffle prizes, and catering by From Scratch by Us. The alumni panel includes East Wenatchee Mayor Jerrilea Crawford, WVC head men’s soccer coach Lenin Guzman Sanchez, Diamond Foundry equipment engineer Pablo Cortez Gomez, and Evergreen Luxury Events owner Mayra Garcia.

Alumni are encouraged to wear their WVC apparel. Limited edition t-shirts and other items will be available for purchase.

Guests will get a preview of the MAC Gallery’s March exhibit by Kyung Hee "Kate" Im, a sculptor and installation artist. The exhibit highlights aspects of physical isolation and how isolation has been exaggerated.

Registration for Business After Hours is encouraged and can be made here.
