Spring Community Coffee Chat

April 6th, 10 am – 12 pm – Stop by the community center to share a warm drink and light refreshments with your neighbors. Catch up with old friends and make new ones. Talk to the board about any questions or ideas you have regarding the community center.


New Years Levee – The first annual New Years Levee was a success with lots of refreshments and live music on fiddle and piano. We had 30 people at the event from the community and surrounding areas.

Winter Warmer Coffee Chat – The community coffee in January was well attended by 18 people. It was successful and we are hosting a Spring coffee on April 6.


Call for Interest: Pickleball/Badminton Court at the Community Center

We are gauging community interest in the possibility of constructing a Pickleball/Badminton Court on the grounds of the Center. These are some of the facts and benefits:

  • Fun, easy to learn and low impact.
  • Great way to meet community members and make friends.
  • Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in the world.
  • Badminton is played at most Intermediate and High Schools on the Island.

Even if you prefer not to participate in these activities, it would create an opportunity to “come down and watch” and socialize.
Please send your input or expression of interest to bigskypei@gmail.com

AED at the Center
The Community Center has installed an automated external defibrillator (AED). It’s an easy-to-use, medical device that can analyze the heart’s rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electrical shock(defibrillation) to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm. The device is on the wall in the entrance of the Center and can be accessed by persons with a door entry or through a call to 911 (the AED is registered with 911 and EMS. They can provide a door code for emergency access if the AED is needed).
