The second annual event, local politicians Sara Feigenholtz, Ann Williams and John Cullerton, collaborates with the YMCA for a day of education and fun.

State Representatives Sara Feigenholtz and Ann Williams and Senate President John Cullerton will collaborate with the Lake View YMCA to host a women’s health and resource fair.

Scheduled for Saturday, June 8 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the event will be held at the Lake View YMCA, located at 3333 North Marshfield. 

“Women should take every opportunity to learn more about our health and ways to improve our well-being,” said Feigenholtz. “Not only is this event informational and a great way to find out about the resources here in our community, but attendees can have a lot of fun trying a new fitness class or relaxing with a mini-massage.”
