December Evening Meeting & Mixer – 2025 Scholarship Presentation

by

We are once again kicking off the Holiday Season with a presentation of our 2025 Scholarship Winners. South Bay Women’s Network will be awarding Cuesta College Female Re-entry Student educational scholarships. We invite members and guests to celebrate winners of this year’s Scholarship Awards and learn more about the future of SBWN.

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 at the Garden Party Scholarship Benefit, “Thelma & Louise” Movie Night, Harvest Tea Party, Adopt-a-Poll and generous donations from SBWN members and our supporters.

Presentation meeting is being held at Brightside Pizza in Los Osos on Tuesday, December 2nd at 6:00pm. Brightside will be serving a variety of pizza’s, salads and soft drinks and is included in the meeting fee

This presentation is also membership drive! Welcome new members who support our mission Collaborative Women Serving Our Community!

The Harvest Tea Party on the Bay Fundraiser happened Sunday, September 7th. Many guests wore stylish hats and lovely outfits. Members and guests savored a delicious tea menu that included finger sandwiches, sweet treats, bubbly wine, and various teas. We thank The Savory Palette for providing another successful tea menu. This was our final 2025 fundraiser, aimed to support the SBWN Cuesta College Female Reentry Student Scholarship. Our sincere thanks go to all who attended. We also thank those who gave money, gifts, or time. Your help made the event a success. It was truly appreciated.

Spring Fling High Tea Fundraiser

Stylish hats and elegant attire were plentiful at the Spring Fling High Tea Fundraiser, which took place on Sunday, April 21st. Attendees, including both members and guests, enjoyed a delightful high tea menu featuring finger sandwiches, soup, salad, tea party desserts, sparkling wine, and an assortment of teas. A special thank you goes to The Savory Palette for providing a wonderful meal. This was our first fundraiser of 2024, with the goal of raising funds for the SBWN Cuesta College Female Reentry Student Scholarship Program. The event successfully raised enough money for potentially two scholarships. Many thanks to all the wonderful women – and men – who joined us at the Spring Fling, as well as those who generously contributed their funds, gifts, and time to ensure the event’s success.

Thank you to Brittany Stewart from Limitless Skies: Custom Photobooth Services who kindly volunteered her time and photo booth for our event. Our guests had fun posing for their close-up shots. Brittany is our new social media intern.
