�Some of the
greatest ideas are born and nurtured in the heart.�� With those sentiments the
first annual Bolingbrook Women�s Expo was opened on October 14th, 2000. It
received rave reviews from sponsors and participants alike.� Building on that success, this year�s 4th Annual
Event promises to be even more powerful.
The focus of
this day-long event is the journey to self-discovery, accomplished through
personal growth and community with women.

Beginning with a continental breakfast, the morning session continues
with an uplifting talk by our keynote speaker, Mary Ann Childers, Co-anchor
and Medical Editor for CBS Channel 2 News, Chicago.� Stationed in Israel in 1991, she was the first Chicago
television reporter to file from the first Persian Gulf War.� As an award-winning medical reporter for
12 years, Childers has been widely recognized for her coverage of the AIDS
epidemic and the on-going fight against breast cancer.�
|
|
In 1995, she accompanied a team of plastic surgeons from the
University of Illinois who traveled to Guatemala to perform facial
reconstructions on children with birth defects.� Her work as an anchor and reporter has been recognized with numerous
professional and community awards over the years.� We are proud that she has chosen to share her experiences and
insights with us on this special day.

Afterwards, we will continue with our very popular segment, �Stories from the Heart�.� This powerful hour will allow us to spend some intimate moments with a few very special women.� The morning session will end with lunch, followed by an afternoon featuring a number of breakout sessions that will include topics such as: � How to Communicate to Get What You Want � Discovering Your Passion � Decorating � Transition of Women and Education � Forgiveness � Eating Healthy � Mediterranean Style There will also be ample opportunities for participants to browse the booths set up by event sponsors and visit our bookstore.� The day will end with great fun and laughter as we come together for our final session with T. Marni Vos, an honest, clean, and refreshing humorist.� She is as funny as she is inspiring.� Her presentation is original in style, extremely funny, and uplifting in content.� Through laughter she continues to educate people in all walks of life to meet their challenges with a light heart and the echo of laughter.
