COLLEGE WOMEN’S CLUB 2024 SCHOLARSHP RECIPIENTS

On Tuesday, May 7th, 85 people gathered at the Blinn House in Pasadena to honor the 
2024 Scholarship Recipients selected by the College Women’s Club. 17 girls were awarded 
over $55,000 in scholarships this year, coming from six area colleges. These schools 
include CSULA, Pacific Oaks College, Art Center College of Design, East LA College, 
GCC and PCC. Our guests enjoyed tea boxes from San Marino Cafe while hearing about 
our incredible honorees.

The Scholarship Committee first began giving loans to women seeking higher education 
in 1923. Over its history the Club has distributed over $1.3 million to 663 women. The 
Scholarship Foundation endowment currently stands at ap-proximately $1.8 million 
and is managed by the Pasadena Community Foun-dation.

SYNDICATE COFFEE SHOP LOSES TWO STAFF TO 
RECORD LABEL

 If you have been to Syndicate Coffee Shop lately, 
(who hasn't), then you have probably met half 
of the members of the band "Return to Dust", 
Matty Bielawski and Graham Stanush, behind 
the counter, making coffee and sandwiches.

If you haven't met them, then you only have 
a few days left to see them as they have just 
signed their first record deal and will be leaving 
Syndicate employment soon.

Long time friends, Matty and Graham, moved 
to LA from Texas during covid to launch their 
heart-felt, modern-grunge band, Return to Dust. 
Matty and Graham write the music and lyrics 
as well as perform their songs with members 
Sebastian Gonzalez and London Hudson. Their 
mu-sic has been influenced by Deftones, Alice 
In Chains, Nirvana, The Cure, Metallica and 
Cage The Elephant to name a few bands.

Their next live local performance will be at a 
Danny Wimmer Festival (Welcome to Rockville 
& Sonic Temple). If you are interested check 
their website for show details.

Their first album ("Return to Dust") has just been released and can be played here https://
vyd.co/Returntodust. Their album can be purchased here along with other merchandise, 
https://return-to-dust-store.myshopify.com/collections/all.

Please be sure to stop by Syndicate and congratulate Matty and Graham for their hard 
earned success and for making their dreams come true.
