| August 2nd, 2019, we reserved the entire brand-new Odyssey River Cruise boat. Food was amazing, prepared fresh onboard, with premium open bar. This is a new service that glides up the North Branch of the Chicago river, then down the South Branch then back to Michigan Ave, a very smooth ride compared to our previous events out on the lake. |

|
| At the October 2018 dinner, we had "Women in Intermodal, a Panel Discussion". It was a well attended meeting, with the panelists being from rail, drayage, 3PL, and driver perspective. The topics ranged from success stories, challenges faced and recommendations for improving the recruiting, retention and promotion of women in intermodal. |
