Like the weather last week (which offered a little bit of multiple seasons), this week at the BIC Center offers a little bit of everything—chances to stay active, get creative, and simply enjoy being together as the days grow longer.

The steady pulse of our mornings continues to anchor the week. Pickleball returns on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 10:00 AM, bringing both friendly competition and plenty of laughter to the court. Right alongside it, Chair Strength Training on Tuesday and Friday at 10:30 AM offers a supportive way to build strength and stay moving, no matter your pace. And on Wednesday morning, Senior Tai Chi at 10:30 AM provides a quieter moment—focused, balanced, and restorative.

Tuesday brings a full day at the Center. After a morning of activity, the afternoon includes the BIA Board Meeting at 4:00 PM, followed by one of the week’s highlights: Let’s Get Quizzical – Trivia Night at 6:00 PM. It’s a chance to gather with friends, test your knowledge, and enjoy a lively evening together.

Midweek continues with opportunities to connect and create. On Wednesday, the BIC hosts Senior Advisory Committee BINGO at 1:00 PM—a classic that never loses its charm. Later that day, Time for Art at 5:00 PM invites creativity to take center stage, followed by the Beaver Island Irish Heritage Group Board Meeting at 5:30 PM, keeping traditions and stories alive within the community.

Thursday keeps things moving with another full day of activity, including morning pickleball and an evening session at 5:00 PM for those who prefer to play later in the day.

Friday morning begins with Senior + Vets Coffee & Donuts at 9:00 AM—a simple but meaningful way to gather, share stories, and start the day together—followed by more pickleball and chair strength to carry that energy forward.

As the week winds toward the weekend, Saturday brings a pair of featured movies. Arco shows at 3:00 p.m. It’s an animated sci-fi adventure that’s great for kids with a PG rating. At 6:00, H is for Hawk tells the story of Helen who grieving at the death of her dad finds herself saved by an unlikely friendship with a stubborn hawk. It’s rated PG-13.

Throughout the week, the BIC Center continues to be what it does best—a place where routine meets connection, where activity meets belonging, and where even a simple morning game or shared cup of coffee becomes part of something larger.

Spring may be arriving outside, but inside the BIC Center, the season of community is already in full swing.
