Chicago Metro #325!


The time has come to plan your WIC Week! The WIC Week committee is thrilled to open registration for our celebration of Women in Construction. The celebration begins TODAY!

We will be hosting a “Wellness Virtual Lunch Event” each day of the week for members only. These 30 minute classes will be held at noon each day. They are free to attend, however, you must be registered to participate. We have set up each event individually. Although a little more work for all of us, it will allow us to provide our presenters with the most accurate participation information and you to sign up for only those events you will attend. We appreciate your understanding on this and look forward to a great week!
