The Women’s Bar Association of Illinois was proud to co-host its Fifth Annual Lunar New Year Celebration with AABA, CABA, and KABA, joyfully welcoming the Year of the Horse.
The Year of the Horse symbolizes strength, resilience, energy, and forward momentum—a fitting theme as we gathered to celebrate community, collaboration, and the year ahead. Guests enjoyed a lively evening of connection over a delicious Korean barbecue dinner at Iron Age Korean Steakhouse, along with refreshments and great conversation.
It was a festive and meaningful celebration filled with warmth, camaraderie, and optimism as we rang in the Lunar New Year together.
Thank you to our sponsors without whom the evening wouldn’t have been possible!
