SUMMARY:Climbing Higher Women's Conference 2018
DESCRIPTION:The 2018 Climbing Higher Women’s Empowerment Conference is fast approaching.  Thank you for helping to promote the conference.  I’ve attached a copy of the flyer for The 2018 Climbing Higher Women’s Empowerment Conference and below is the link for registration.  I have created a special ticket for guests who want to attend and purchase a ticket for a female veteran.  When a guest purchases a regular Early bird ticket\, they have the option to also purchase a 1/2 price ticket for a female veteran. \nClick on the ticket titled “Early bird + Veteran”.  Those tickets will be donated to National Women Veterans United so that members can attend at no cost. \nThe link to register is:   www.2018climbinghigher.eventbrite.com \n  \nA portion of the proceeds will benefit: \nNWVU’s mission is to advocate\, educate and bond with all women veterans with special emphasis on women returning from deployment; to ensure they are connected to appropriate direct services and resources for readjustment and coping skills as they return. \nDescription\nThrough inspiring speakers like Sylvia Duncan of the Duncan Approach\, Angela Martin formerly of Am1390 and The Overflow Coach\, Monique Carradine-Kitchens\, you will be inspired to come out of what was and Break chains and overcome obstacles that have held you back. \nThere will also be on the spot life coaching from a panel of gifted life coaches\, who will encourage you to come into what can be and create the life you desire. You will also be inspired by the victories of others. \nGod has a purpose and plan for your life. Don’t you think it’s time to Come Up Higher? \n~Jim Rohn \nThrough inspiring speakers\, uplifting music and an empowering ‘coaching panel’\, you will be equipped with actionable steps to take your life to the next level … Climbing Higher.  \nBe Inspired to Come Out of What Was…  \nSylvia Duncan\, known as The Life Detox Coach\, is an Author\, Inspirational Speaker\, and the founder of The Duncan Approach\, a series of focused workshops and coaching programs designed to encourage and inspire participants to pursue Wholeness in every area of their life to live life with purpose on purpose. A surviving witness of Domestic Violence\, Sylvia believes that what we’ve experienced is meant to be shared to help others realize their purpose in life. She knows what it feels like to endure\, yet overcome adversity; as a child\, growing up in the Stateway Gardens housing project in Chicago\, Illinois\, watching the physical abuse of her mother and ultimately the shooting death of her father. The effects of the violence manifested in low self-esteem\, low self-confidence\, inferiority\, bitterness\, and shame. Sylvia overcame the negative effects of the past and teaches others to do the same. \nAngela Martin \nFormerly of Gospel Radio Am 1390\, Angela Martin’s media career at Crawford Broadcasting\, Clear Channel and iHeart Media spans over 18 years of sharing love\, joy\, inspiration and ministry to millions of people around the world. In 2011\, Angela’s love for prayer\, compassion for women\, and submission to God’s will\, impressed her to organize a monthly prayer meeting. Onederful Prayer convenes every first Saturday of the month at New Zion’s Upper Room; centrally located in the heart of Chicago IL. It’s designed to train and demonstrate the power of a woman’s personal dialogue with our Father God in\, Jesus’ name. Women of all ages\, ethnicities\, and denominations gather together for the Onederful Prayer experience \nMonique Caradine-Kitchens \, The Overflow Coach \nMonique helps women fix their relationship with money so they can stop worrying about it\, stressing over it\, and chasing after it and instead\, start manifesting more than enough of it. After having money drama of her own for many years\, Monique sought the help of a coach from one of the top personal development companies in the world. That coach helped Monique begin to re-write her money story so she could finally embrace her inner millionaire. Since 2012\, Monique has mentored hundreds of women entrepreneurs on how to make money doing what they love. Monique worked as a radio and television personality. She has won many awards and has interviewed high-profile celebrities\, politicians\, and business leaders. \nBe Inspired to Come into What Can Be \nReceive “on the spot” coaching to help you get unstuck. The 2018 Climbing Higher Coaching Panel will equip you with tools to walk fully in your greatness\, empowering you to: \n\nBreak chains and overcome obstacles that have held you back\nBe encouraged to dream and create the life you desire\nSet goals to move the mountains created from your past\nBe encouraged and inspired by the victories of others\n\nClimbing Higher Coaching Panel: \n Conchetta Jones\, The Confidence Coach \n Inspiring women to live the life of their dreams! \n ~~~~~~~~ \n Melanie Foote-Davis\, The Freedom Catalyst \n Helping women reclaim their life and take back their power! \n~~~~~~~ \n Alicia Bowens\, Certified Coach and Business Consultant \n Helping women to achieve their dreams \n ~~~~~~~ \n LaKeisha Stringfellow\, Author\, Speaker and Coach \n Helping women walk through their fears. \n ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \nDon’t allow pain from the past\, fear\, low self-confidence or any other self-limiting\, defeating behavior to hold you back any longer! Now is the time to get the tools you need to Come Out of What Was\, Into What Can be…Climb Higher! \nRegister Now for the 2018 Climbing Higher Women’s Empowerment Conference! \nBegin your journey to freedom and success now! Your life will NEVER be the same! \n“Though no one can go back and make a brand new start\, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending” ~Carl Bard

SUMMARY:Chicago Veterans Day Ceremony 2017
DESCRIPTION:Chicago Honors America’s Veterans\nThe ceremony will take place in front of the Doughboy statue. The program will culminate with a wreath laying ceremony at the Doughboy\, a 21-gun salute\, “Taps” and the “Armed Forces Medley.” \nSoldier Field was named as such at the request of the Gold Star Mothers to honor the men lost in World War I. The Doughboy statue\, originally placed in Garfield Park\, was restored and installed in Soldier Field as part of the stadium renovation. Doughboy is an informal term for a member of the United States Army of Marine Corps\, especially members of the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I. \nVeterans Day is set aside to thank and honor living veterans who have served honorably in the military in wartime and peacetime. Originally known as Armistice Day and so declared by President Woodrow Wilson\, it was created to mark the signing of the Armistice which ended World War I. Following World War II\, it was declared a day to honor all veterans and in 1954\, renamed Veterans Day by Congress. \nFREE parking is available at the Waldron Parking Deck; exit at 18th Street from Lake Shore Drive.
