On Tuesday, June 14, 2011 the Business and Professional Women of Southern  Ocean County hosted their Scholarship Awards Dinner and Installation of New  Officers at Kristy's Casual Dining, Route 9 in Waretown.  The group meets at Kristy's  on the second Tuesday of every month.   Scholarship Awards were presented by  Cyndy Friedland, (the outgoing President), to Maria Pipitone and Diane Mattia.  Maria and Diane are attending college and working towards Bachelors and Masters  Degrees in Social Services and English.  BPWSOC awards Scholarships on an  annual basis. Our website, www.BPWSOC.org, has information pertaining to  membership, scholarships and events hosted by the organization.
Cyndy Friedland installed the new officers for the organization's 2011/2012 calendar  year:  Penny Miller of Mary Kay in Manahawkin, President; Lisa Gambino of A2Z  Computer Help, Vice President; Mary Baldelli of Pathways Massage & Bodywork,  Treasurer and Rosalind Silletto of Rosalind's Travel In Style, Jackson, Secretary. 
These dynamic women have been with BPWSOC for several years dedicating their  time and service in capacities as officers in prior years, volunteering for fund raising  events and maintaining our website.  Each officer has their own business and  contributes their knowledge and expertise at meetings to fellow members.
The meeting was presided over by 2010/2011 President, Cyndy Friedland (recently  installed as Vice President for Business and Professional Women of New Jersey).
