Chicago Women Leaders Host Brunch, Workshops For Girls

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Local leaders joined 250 Chicago girls on Saturday for a talk, luncheon, and workshops to empower.

They gathered for the Girls Who Brunch Chicago Experience Tour at Lavizzo Elementary School in Roseland.

The emphasis is on literacy, education, life skills, and health and wellness.

The girls – ages 9 to 17 – are future leaders who will make a difference in their communities.

Organizers say the special day shows them they're supported, loved and valued.
