1981 was the year HOTEL INC formally organized, and we’re re-imagining the pop culture, music and civic advocacy that shaped our community and the world as we look forward to celebrating our 45th anniversary of Helping Others Through Extending Love in the Name of Christ later this year.
A HUGE thank you to everyone who supported or came out to our Inaugural Breakfast Club event benefitting HOTEL INC. You all looked totally rad, stepping Back to the Future from the 1980s, and we cannot be more grateful for the spirit of generosity and fun that filled the room at threeTHIRTYone event venue back at the beginning of February. What an incredible way to break some cabin fever after two weeks of ice following Winter Storm Fern! Check out the photo gallery from Breakfast Club here!
Be watching for a separate blog post all about our great sponsors for this first time event. We could not have pulled this off without you!
I invite you to join us for our very first First Friday of 2026 this Friday, March 6 at 9 a.m. We will have coffee and we will be sharing some good news about how we are laser focused on HOUSING, HEALTH & COMMUNITY this year for greatest possible impact from Delafield to downtown, from the west end of Bowling Green to all of Warren County. Let us know you’re coming on our Facebook event!
Next, we’re also planning our very FIRST Spring Time edition of our Farm to Table dinner at the beautiful Tayvin Gardens on Saturday, March 21 at 6 p.m. The spectacular local food, meticulously crafted by Chef Brittany Vincent, takes center stage for this event: it’s a three course meal with locally sourced ingredients. And the venue captures the look and feel of a springtime English manor in the Kentucky countryside. We’re keeping the spirit of the 1980s going and doing a throwback to 1981, when the world was captivated by the fairy tale engagement of Charles & Diana. So break out your polka dots, shoulder pads, preppy polos and fascinator hats as we turn Farm to Table into a 1980s Royal Engagement fit for a royal or a rock star! Tickets are on sale now at www.hotelincbg.com. All proceeds benefit HOTEL INC and our non-profit micro-grocery, the Delafield Co-Op Market. Share and interact with us on our Farm to Table Facebook event.
Finally, 2026 is already off to a busy start, with the completion last week of our annual Point in Time Count of people experiencing homelessness in Warren County, our strengthened partnership with the Life Navigation Collaboration Center, and the expansion of our medical respite housing program. YOU can be a part of this momentum that is building!
