Welcome Brunch

Wow, what a fun morning!

The annual Iowa Medical Partners Welcome Brunch was a smashing success again this year, bringing new IMP members together with our current members to kick off the year. We enjoyed a delicious brunch catered by the University Club and had a blast getting to know the incredible women who are part of our organization. We would like to extend a huge thank you to the University of Iowa Community Credit Union (UICCU) for generously sponsoring the brunch again this year – we couldn’t have done it without you! 

Everyone who attended the brunch received an awesome swag bag filled to the brim with donations from local vendors including Bread Garden Market, Iowa Gym Nest, Body Moves Fitness and Wellness Center, Tires Plus, We Run, Bity Bean, Bannor Toys. . . the list goes on and on! These amazing businesses (and many, many more!) all generously provided coupons and discounts for the bags – links to all of the vendors are provided later in this post. We hope you get out there and take advantage of all of the great deals! 

Throughout the brunch, we were treated to several amazing presentations. Sara and Kaitlyn from the Iowa City Mom’s Blog shared their insider’s list of restaurants and fun activities for families in the area, Hailey from UICCU introduced our new members to the credit union, and Tundi Brady from Lepic Kroeger let us in on a few important secrets and tips/tricks for homeowners. Thank you to all of you for your insight and for joining us at the brunch!

In addition to the awesome swag items, we all took home a terrific door prize – all of which were donated by incredible local vendors. Seriously, these prizes were a huge hit this year! We feel truly lucky to be part of a community that supports organizations like ours with such sensational gifts. Check out this list of vendors who donated either an item for our swag bag or a door prize . . . it’s unreal!
