Clark's Corner
What, exactly, is Clark's Corner?
Clark's Corner

To say we are a coffeehouse or a community center describes part of who we are —after all we do serve hot beverages and we are a place that is accessible to the entire community, but it only tells part of the story. The term "third place" (the "first place" being the home and the "second place" being the workplace) is more accurate; we are indeed a place to gather, have a bite to eat, to read, and visit with friends. A more accurate description, but not complete.

Clark's Corner is about connections. It's the connections we have to our friends, our families, our town and our region. The connections to our grandparents and our children. Clark's is a place that keeps each generation connected to the ones that came before and the ones who will follow.

Clark's Corner is a place where each member of the community can connect with any other; whether at boisterous, large gatherings, or quietly in small groups over a hot cup of coffee.

Connected to the Community
Clark's Corner is a place where groups of virtually any type can gather and connect. Clark's will also be featuring live music and other cultural performances.
Connecting to the Past
Ione has a rich history that needs to be preserved for future generations. Clark's Corner will be instrumental in creating resources for the community celebrating  the people, events, culture and architecture of Ione. These resources will take the form of online exhibits, booklets and interactive multimedia.
