Community Calendar

Our 6th annual Widow Empowerment Event is for widows looking to empower themselves to thrive as they move from grief to growth.
Through meaningful speakers, purposeful presentations, and interactive activities, you’ll experience hope and community, gain opportunities to embrace your strengths through education and mentoring, and share inspiration and wisdom with a community that truly understands.
Join us and make the choice to empower yourself by committing to transformational growth.

Take your sweet time to savor the smells, revel in the flavors – and immerse yourself in the rich and vibrant coffee culture of the Great Rivers and Routes region. Javapalooza celebrates the bean and the people who create that beautiful, and delightful coffee experience. Get ready to take part and discover your new coffee shop fav! Participating shops will create a featured signature coffee drink which will be served from Sept. 1st to Oct. 1st, 2023. There will also be a Latte Art Competition and Coffee Connoisseur Competition.
