After many wonderful years, I would like to announce that The Gathering Room is under new ownership.

I am grateful for the support, friendships, and memories that have been made here over the years. Thank you to everyone who chose The Gathering Room for your celebrations, meetings, events, and special occasions. Your support has meant so much.

I am pleased to share that the new owner will continue offering the same types of venue rentals and services that our customers have come to know and enjoy.

For future bookings and inquiries, please contact the new owner at 641-226-3445.

Thank you again for your loyalty and support throughout the years. I appreciate every customer who helped make The Gathering Room a special place, and I wish the new owner continued success.

With sincere gratitude,

Lisa Black

🚗 Parking Lot Notice – Please Read 🚗

Our parking lot is private property and reserved for Pro Tan clients only.

Today, due to the weather, our snow plow was unable to properly clear our parking lot because vehicles were parked here by individuals visiting another business, The Gathering Room. This prevented us from maintaining safe and accessible parking for our customers.

We want to be transparent that we have taken every reasonable step to prevent this issue:
• Parking signs are clearly posted on our building
• The Gathering Room’s rental agreement explicitly states that guests are not allowed to park in Pro Tan’s lot and requires renters to initial acknowledgment
• Additional signage is posted at The Gathering Room’s entrance and inside the building

We truly strive to be good neighbors. However, when half of our parking spaces are occupied by non-customers, and we are unable to have our lot properly maintained, it becomes a serious concern for the safety and convenience of our clients.

We kindly ask everyone to respect our parking lot so we can continue providing a safe, accessible experience for those visiting Pro Tan.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. 💛
