About
The Gathering Place idea came from very good friends. They were very gracious to allow us to use the name. The Gathering Place is a place to get together and celebrate whatever moment is happening in your life. After 39 years of being in this building I could not see giving it up. I did not want to leave Atkinson, Illinois with another empty building and I am not ready to retire. I love the catering side of this business and it has been very strong. I have always wanted to have my own venue and this was the perfect opportunity to make my dream come true. So with the help of many good friends and family, plus the help of my best friend we created The Gathering Place. For the past 39 years in this building friends and family have shed tears for many different reasons, happy and sad. So I am hoping The Gathering Place will allow people the opportunity to be able to do the same. Tears of happiness, sometimes tears of joy, but a special place to be able to do that, The Gathering Place, where friends become family.
