Upcoming events
Civics Sunday
Twice a month, the Whispering Ivy Society hosts, “Civics Sunday,” a panel discussion designed to educate and engage members on current political issues and their impact on our rural Iowa communities. In the spirit of Belle Mansfield, panelists represent those impacted by changing political policies and experts on the issues.
The Society at Seven
Each Thursday evening, members gather in the spirit of Belle Mansfield and the elegant salons of the Victorian Era. The Society at Seven offers a setting for thoughtful conversation, shared curiosity, and light-hearted connection. With refreshments in hand and minds open, we explore ideas both old and new in good company. Expect warm lighting, lively minds, and the occasional delightful surprise.
