A cozy week of movement, creativity, and community
There’s something grounding about sharing space with neighbors—over art supplies, a cup of coffee, or a favorite film. If you’re looking for a place to move, create, or simply spend time with others, we’ve got a full lineup of welcoming programs this week. Here’s a look at what’s ahead.

Saturday, November 22 – BIDL Big Read Movie Day
We’re screening two films tied to this year’s Big Read selection:
3:00 PM – WALL·E (G)
A gentle, heartfelt story about a small robot who discovers friendship, wonder, and hope far from home. It’s a film that blends quiet humor with a reminder of what we choose to care for.
6:00 PM – Greenland (PG-13)
A more intense, family-centered drama that follows one father’s efforts to keep his loved ones safe during a global crisis. At its heart, it’s a story about resilience, connection, and the lengths we go to for the people we love.
We’ll have popcorn fresh and ready for you. We’re grateful for any
donation—you’re the reason Saturday Movies can continue.
Thanks for being part of this place. In whatever way you join us, we’re glad you’re here. Stay warm, stay connected, and we’ll see you at the Community Center.
