The Minnesota Initiative Foundations hosted a two-day presidents retreat here in the back room of Paddle On Coffee. It was the perfect space, and the intimacy and coziness of the venue allowed for relationship-building, deep focused thinking, and decision-making. The natural light that flows into the space allowed for comfort and long discussions. The coffee shop access (especially the delicious lattes!) kept us energized and fueled. The arts and gifts shop up front also helped spark creativity, and served as a reminder of locally owned, creative rural entrepreneurship -- a core aspect to our organizations' missions. The integrated catering options were delicious and thoughtfully planned, and in very short walking distance to all of Lanesboro's major gems - helping us soak in the full character and vibrancy of our retreat location.
