    2022 Scholarship Presentation Meeting

    by

    We are kicking off the Holiday Season with a presentation of our 2022 Scholarship Winners. South Bay Women’s Network will be awarding Cuesta College educational scholarships to 9 recipients. We invite members and guests to celebrate these wonderful women 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, A Wicked Halloween Party & Fundraiser, Adopt-a-Poll and generous donations from SBWN members.

    Presentation meeting is being held at Savory Palette in Morro Bay on December 7th at 6:00pm. Meeting fee includes one free drink and appetizers – $20 members/$25 guests. Celebrate the start of the Holiday Season with a Christmas sweater!

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