The Gathering Room
Gathering.
I've always found that women love to gather and share their stories, encourage each other, talk about the happenings in their lives and share what's going on with their families, sometimes they need a small tribe to support them for health issues, or other things causing uncertainty in their lives.
Gathering for women is usually a time of laughter, celebration, recalling memories that have brought joy over the years, and a time of creating that special 'sisterhood' our hearts often yearn for. But what if...there's no place to gather? Not everyone wants to tidy up their house to have girlfriends over, many don't have space, or maybe a good central location is needed to gather. That's why in November we created The Gathering Room in our 1875 historical bank building. Our Gathering Room offers space for up to 16 women in a relaxing and quiet atmosphere, with warm and inviting decor (you might even get a few decorating ideas!)...we think it's the perfect place...to gather.
It has been wonderful hearing how women are loving The Gathering Room . Many have shared their stories with me...that means a lot. We've had the pleasure of hosting small professional women's groups, friends who find Walnut is a central meeting place between Des Moines and Omaha, one woman celebrating cancer free results, groups of high school friends and coworkers, Birthday celebrations, and we've loved every minute of seeing the joy and hearing the laughter of the women who gather in our space.
If you're looking for a place to gather...we've got the perfect space. We would love to host your small group, or large group! There's no charge to use The Gathering Room (and we added on the Upstairs Boarding Room Kitchen for additional space), we just ask that you purchase your beverage through our little coffee shop in our lobby, 201 Coffee. You'll love our lattes, coffee, teas, and gourmet hot cocoa.
Don't let the cold weather keep you from gathering in 2023 before the spring thaw. We've got a warm and cozy space that will warm your heart. See below for reservation information.
