UPDATE: First Lady Attends Chicago Bill-Signing Event
First Lady Michelle Obama plans to make full use of her trip to Chicago next week.
Besides hosting two fundraisers, she also will attend the signing of new legislation by Gov. Pat Quinn, according to the governor's office.
After her 11 a.m. Tuesday luncheon with "Glee" star Jane Lynch, the First Lady joins Quinn at 2:15 p.m. at the Illinois National Guard Armory to sign new legislation designed to support military spouses.
The bill intends to ease the struggles military spouses face when trying to transfer professional licenses to Illinois and coincides with the First Lady’s Joining Forces initiative.
Following the signing, Obama heads to Venue One, 1044 W. Randolph St., for a 3 p.m. “Gen44" event.
Tickets to the fundraiser start at $44 to draw in a younger crowd, but $5,000 buys party-goers a photo op with the First Lady.
