All the Chamber ladies attended the fun Rainbow Hospice event at Amphora, Indira, Houlihan’s, and Affresco last Friday! We took the tours and saw all the animals – grabbed for cash in Liberty Bank’s cash cage (which was donated back to Rainbow Hospice) and ate the wonderful food by All on the Road! We did it all!
And then on Saturday, we attended the Chicago Sky Women’s Professional Basketball game at the Allstate Arena against the Indianapolis Fever. Talk about a close game! And it was so entertaining with magicians, musicians, games, mascot, and more! It went into overtime and we lost but it was still a fun night out. I’m trying to get the Sky to join the Chamber and will keep you posted if they do!
Tonight is the Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting at Pro Windows from 5 to 8 p.m. 824 Busse Hwy, Park Ridge. Regina Provenzano, owner

A wonderful group of women got together to laugh, eat, network and talk about accessorizing with jewelry at Rosewood Restaurant, 9421 W. Higgins, Rosemont. The meal was fabulous and elegant!
Suzann Wilson from Beadphoria gave a very interesting presentation on accessorizing with jewelry based upon face and neck shape and showed pieces she’d designed. We also got a sneak preview of the butterfly she beaded for Resurrection - and she brought a piece of jewelry that she designed and crafted to raffle off which was won by Pat Quinn (mother of Mike Quinn, Quinn Print).
The Chamber raffled off a gift certificate and a dedicated eblast! Sue Raap, Rosewood, donated four $50 gift certificates; Nichole Squires, Comfort Inn O’Hare, donated a $20 gift certificate to their restaurant, Tiffany’s; and Linda Hills, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, donated 2 big bags of white chocolate covered pretzels!
You don’t want to miss our events – they’re always fun and interesting and a lot of networking gets done too!
