Join us to view and meet the creators of humorous short films depicting challenges women face in the workplace. Converse and connect on how storytelling shapes perceptions, and the responsibility of film makers.
We will screen short films from Womanhood: The Series (Season 2) that use humor to explore the cultural attitudes and biases that women face in STEM or any male-dominated workplaces. Meet the filmmakers, Jessica McGaugh and Sheila E. Schroeder, and join an expert panel discussion on how storytelling shapes perceptions—and what more authentic representation of women's contributions and capabilities would look like.
Media shapes how we see the world - and the portrayal of women in STEM and other fields in movies and TV reinforces negative stereotypes and discourages women from pursuing these paths.
Admission $15, Students $7.50. Light refreshments served.
We'd love for you to join us. Come to laugh, learn, and inspire change.

Remington Woods to Host Saturday Open House as Final Phase is Complete
Remington Woods will host a Saturday Open House from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., offering prospective buyers the opportunity to tour the final available homes in the community’s completed final phase.
The event will be hosted by Brandy Crask, Director of Sales, who has played a central role in shaping the homes, finishes and buyer experience at Remington Woods.
Located at 22601 S. Remington Dr. in Channahon, Remington Woods is a 55+ single-family community featuring brand-new ranch-style homes, spacious private yards and a peaceful wooded setting.
“There is a feeling here that is hard to put into words until you drive through it,” Crask says. “These are some of the quietest streets you will ever experience, surrounded by mature trees and beautiful single-family homes. I had the opportunity to design these homes with the finishes and luxury upgrades I would want in my own home — larger islands, upgraded cabinetry, beautiful lighting, spacious primary suites and details that make the homes feel elevated from the moment you walk in.”
For Crask, the completion of the final phase is especially meaningful. This community has become very personal to me,” she says. “I have watched these streets come together home by home, helped buyers choose where they wanted to live, and designed homes around the way people actually want to live in this next chapter of their lives. There will never be another phase added. When these final homes are sold, Remington Woods is complete. That makes this open house feel a little different.”

Homes in the final phase are currently offered from approximately $135,000 to $182,500, with ranch-style floor plans ranging from approximately 1,280 to 1,568 square feet.
Residents also enjoy access to a 5,000-square-foot clubhouse, 24-hour fitness center, billiards, library and gathering spaces, walking paths, an outdoor pergola, picnic area and cedar swings.
“I want people to come out and experience it for themselves,” Crask says. “Drive the streets slowly. Look at the yards. Walk through the homes. Sit in the clubhouse. It is peaceful here, and I think that is what people remember most. Remington Woods gives you the feeling of coming home before you have even chosen which home is yours.”
Saturday Open House 9 a.m.–3 p.m. Remington Woods 22601 S. Remington Dr. Channahon, IL 60410

One of the most exclusive pizza spots in Chicago, George's Deep Dish, is delivering painstakingly delicious artisan deep dish pizzas to you on Monday, September 28th. Order quantities are very limited...so don't miss out.
New to the Chicago food scene in 2021, owner George Bumbaris started doing take-out only in extremely limited quantities. Why not make more, people asked? For the same reason that made the pizzas so popular in the first place--the incredibly delicious crust that must rise for two days before it's made into a pie. Add on your own toppings--or pick from the specialty flavors with names as fun as the pizza is mouthwatering. We like Clooney's ER--cup + char pepperoni pairs perfectly with Italian sausage, beef meatballs, and bacon. Don't worry, veggie pizzas aren't an afterthought though. We also recommend McFly's Sci-Fi with goat cheese, baby spinach, grape tomatoes, castelvetrano olives, and roasted garlic. New to our menu are George's sourdough tavern style pizza, in true Chicago fashion. Salads and desserts available as well.
Order by 10am on Monday. Your order will be available for home delivery between 2:30 - 6:00pm.
