WOMEN IN BUSINESS EXPO | |
 The 6th annual Women's Expo was held a week ago and there is still evidence of 'pink-ness' in the chamber office! We had a beautiful day with attendees, exhibitors, volunteers, Survivors, and Caregivers. A portion of the proceeds will go to American Cancer Society from this 'pink' expo.
Thank you, SPONSORS - Adventist GlenOaks Hospital, Eaglewood Resort & Spa, Holiday Inn & Suites, and Minuteman Press/St. Charles. The winner of the Overnight/Spa/Dinner package was Jen (Baldridge) McLeod of Chicago! She was more than thrilled when I phoned her.
Take a look at a list of the vendors and photos of the day on the recap page. Thank you, all!
The date for the 7th annual Women's Expo will be Wednesday, September 25th, 2013. All our sponsors will be in place by June 1st so the glossy cards can go out before the summer concert series. Stay tuned! |
