ISBA hosts Women and the Law Afternoon Tea on March 9

As part of its celebration of Women's History Month, the Illinois State Bar Association's Women and the Law Committee are presenting an Afternoon Tea on Thursday, March 9, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., at the Loews Chicago Hotel, 455 N. Park Drive.

This will come as no surprise to anyone who's ever met me, but I have never been to an Afternoon Tea. I did sometimes put on another pot of coffee in the afternoon, back in the day, but I gather that's not the same thing. The sponsors of this event say their Afternoon Tea will have "tea, savory bites, and great conversation." Also, DuPage County Judge Chantelle Porter will be the keynote speaker at this event.

Tickets for the event are $50 apiece. The registration page on the ISBA website (yes, that's where you'd go to get tickets) suggests that the deadline to register is March 3. On the other hand, a post on the ISBA's Instagram page says that tickets will be available at the door for $55 each.
