It’s a special weekend coming up at the BIC Center as we host the Beaver Island Community School Graduation Ceremony for Forrest Avery and Katie LaFraniere.  Join us here at 1:00 on Saturday to celebrate this milestone in the lives of these young islanders and help send them on their way with best wishes for every success.

Plus, watch for movies every weekend we don’t have a Saturday evening event as well as our regular exercise, yoga and computer help sessions.

And speaking of movies, we have two great ones this weekend.  Our Saturday matinee at 3 is Early Man.  From the folks who brought you Wallace and Gromit, it’s a hilarious, atop motion clay animation romp around prehistoric earth.  At 7, travel forward in time with Disney’s A Wrinkle in Time. Who knew the time-space continuum could be such an adventure!?

It’s going to be a busy, fun-filled 10th Anniversary summer at your Beaver Island Community Center–where island adventures begin.
