Now, here’s a look at what’s happening on your island… Here’s your meeting planner for the week: No more left. Details for meetings next week are in the calendar entries online. On the fun front today, Thursday, gets going with Pickleball outdoors on the Township Courts. There’s Women’s Bible Study at 10:00 at the Christian Church. Resale Shop open noon to 4:00. Games Galore at the BIC Center at 1:00. It’s Burger & a Beer Night at the Shamrock. And, with a new moon Thursday night on the Dark Sky Calendar, it’s a perfect time for another Guided Dark Sky Viewing opportunity. Come to the Little Sand Bay Nature Preserve at 10:00 p.m. for this for a chance to view Saturn and Jupiter. Also, Zodiacal Light should be visible and maybe the Northern Lights. Check the Dark Sky Facebook page for last minute info on whether the weather will cooperate. On Friday, things kick off with senior coffee and donuts at the BIC Center at 8:00. Then, the Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program is upstairs in the Hang Out at 10:30. The Resale Shop is open from noon to 4:00. B-I-C-S Soccer and Volleyball squads head out Friday afternoon for their second go of the season up in Big Bay. Saturday has Pickleball outdoors on the Peaine Township Park courts from 9:00 to 11:00. The Resale Shop will be open from noon to 4:00. Lego Club is at the library at 1:00. And, Saturday evening, movies are back at the BIC Center. The show is Asteroid City. It’s the story of a family that heads to Asteroid City for some star gazing only to have their lives changed forever. Directed by Wes Anderson, it follows his eclectic film design that has been a hit in other films shown at the BIC Center including the Grand Budapest Hotel, Isle of Dogs and the Fantastic Mr. Fox. See it on the BIG Screen with the BIG SOUND in the BIC Center Theater the way movies were meant to be seen. Rated PG-13. The Concession stand will be open for snacks, a meal or both. Sunday there are services at the Episcopal Mission at 9:00, the Christian Church and the Lighthouse Fellowship at 10:00 and mass at Holy Cross at 12:15. Looking ahead to next week… Monday is a quiet day on the island. The only thing on the Calendar other than the meetings is Pizza Night at the Shamrock. Tuesday, the Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program is in the Hangout at 9:00. Pickleball is on the outdoor courts at Peaine Township Park at 9:00. Also, it’s Taco Tuesday at the Bodega. And, Tuesday evening its time to get Quizzical at the BIC Center. It’s the monthly trivia game. No charge this month but you do need to sign up in advance at tickets dot bic center dot org. Then quizzing starts at 6:00. B-I-C-S soccer and volleyball squads are headed up to the u-p today for a series of games against Ojibwe. This evening Pickleball is at 6:00. That’s over on the outdoor courts at Peaine Township Park and BINGO at the Gregg Fellowship Hall. Doors open at 6:15 for fellowship. Games start at 7:00. |
