Needless to say there wasn't a moment of silence for 6 hours except when we had 15 miles left and no gas station in sight. It was REAL quiet for 10 miles until we got gas, with only 5 miles worth of gas left in the tank.</div><br /><div>Monday we walked Michigan Ave to shop at American Girl, Hershey's, Ghiradelli's and Victoria Secret. We stopped to rest at the Millenium Park. </div><div>Monday evening was a dinner cruise with 100 women. It was a gorgeous evening! </div><div>ATHENA celebrated 25 years anniversary of advancing women’s leadership. Workshops included topics such as “Unleashing the confident, empowered woman,” “Lessons of leadership, leaders who build a highly motivated and energized workplace” and “The Courage Code: It’s yours. Break it. Own it. Use it.”<br />Speakers included Karenna Gore Schiff, author of Lighting the Way: Nine Women Who Changed Modern America, Shinae Chun, Director of the Women’s Bureau U.S. Department of Labor and Ronna Lichtenberg, author of Pitch Like a Girl: How A Woman Can Be Herself And Still Succeed.</div><br /><br /><div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">www.cryoplus.com<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33614981-8864523247170901500?l=cryoplus.blogspot.com'/></div>Kathihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08840802545446243262kathicryo@aol.com1
