SUMMARY:Women Veterans Spa Day
DESCRIPTION:Treat yourself to a day of relaxation and pampering with fellow women veterans at our upcoming spa event on June 25th\, 2023!\n\n\nJoin us for a Women Veterans Spa Day at King Spa and Sauna Chicago\, hosted by Lourdes Fernando. \nAdmission Covers: \n\nPyramid Room\nFire Sudatorium\nSalt Room\nOcher Room\nICE room\nCharcoal Room\nAmethyst Crystals Room\nSauna\, ice pool\, and Hot Tubs.\n\nFor an additional fee you can get massages/facials/body scrubs/acupuncture \nAbout our Women Veterans Events: Our events are hosted and produced by women veterans in our community\, from mosaic art and cooking classes to networking events and game nights. While men make up 90% of all US Veterans\, 40% of all Chicago Veteran members are women. Hosing women veteran-focused events are incredibly important for the wellbeing and empowerment of women veterans. These events provide a space for women veterans to come together\, share their experiences\, and support each other in a way that is not always possible at co-ed events. While women veterans continue to face unique challenges\, women veteran-focused events are a powerful tool for creating change and building a stronger\, more inclusive veteran community.
