Jan 9    Ribbon Cutting - Coffee & Purrs
Join us as we celebrate the grand opening of Coffee & Purrs and their new Chamber membership. 

Coffee & Purrs is Sioux City's first ever cat cafe, a sanctuary where customers can choose to come hangout with the cats, work, have a date, drink their coffee/beverage of choice, relax, or adopt. The coffee shop is a separate building from the cat cafe (but they are right next to each other), so if you're not a cat lover, but you love coffee, do not fret! Coffee & Purrs is very excited to be a part of Siouxland and provide this unique experience to adopting more cats out in the area. Cat cafe lounge reservations can be made on the website coffeeandpurrs.co

Jan 17    Discovering Worksite Wellness- Renewing the Mind

It's time to be great! Dig into the The Resiliency Framework with Dr. Raul Sanchez. There are two times to be great - when you feel like it and when you don’t. Why is it that most people will sign up for a challenge but only 9% continue? Why is it that the vast majority of people will listen to their boss, friend, and family member but they cannot follow-through on their own goals? What do the top 9% of achievers do that the 91% of underachievers aren’t doing? 

 

The 9% of achievers are consistent with their actions regardless of how they “feel.” They create and nurture what it is called “The Resiliency Framework.” When you learn this science-based framework, you will learn how to find your voice, live your dreams, and never, ever quit on yourself." 
 


The Mission of "Discovering Worksite Wellness" is to promote the benefit of having a well workforce by engaging members to develop practices & policies to keep their workforce and workplace healthy.
