This year we hosted a Halloween Party to raise money for our 2022 Scholarship Program at SLO Public Market Saturday, October 29th. Both Women’s Network of SLO and 5 Cities Women’s Network partnered with us for a FRIGHTFULLY FUN night of music provided by DJ Stephanie West, food from Old SLO BBQ, beverages provided by Bottle Craft and of course great costumes! Thank you to everyone who help make this a fun event. Photos by Gina Cinardo, Ginici Studios.
We are so grateful to all our members and guests who attended the 2022 Garden Party Scholarship Benefit. The sun was out for awhile and the garden was blooming. Thank you to SBWN member Rita Flores and her husband Todd Davidson owners of Sage Ecological Landscapes for sharing their beautiful space. Singer Loren Radis provided the perfect music for the evening. We appreciate SBWN Member Denise Lowe and her husband John for pouring wine donated by Absolution Cellars and Denise. We raised over $1100 for our Scholarship Program.
South Bay Women’s Network (SBWN) awarded (11) scholarships of $500 each this year to Cuesta College re-entry female students. Potential recipients either submitted an application themselves or were nominated, and each was required to be a female Cuesta College re-entry student, defined in the educational system as one who attends college following an interruption in their post-high school education. Funds for these scholarships were raised through the Garden Party Scholarship Benefit, SLO Witches Paddle and generous donations from SBWN members and supporters.
Presentation of our Scholarship winners was held on December 14, 2021 at The Savory Palette Wine Bar in Morro Bay.
