A lot is going on this coming week! We are looking forward to our Toymakers meeting at 8:00, and the pool players will be "racking 'em up" at 10:00 on Tuesday. Wednesday is bingo, our men's Growing Old Together Group, and the knitters and crocheters will be busy as well. So much to see and do.
Visit our website to check out our offerings, but this is just a sampling of what we are looking forward to! https://thebrainerdcenter.com/directory/calendar/

Did you know there’s a group at The Center quietly making a BIG difference for kids in need? ❤️🧸

Every Tuesday morning, our talented Toymakers gather on the fourth floor to cut, sand, paint, varnish, and package handmade wooden toys for children in our community. No experience is needed — just a willingness to learn, create, and share a little kindness.

The Toymakers are more than a woodworking group. They are neighbors, mentors, storytellers, and volunteers who believe that even the smallest handmade toy can bring comfort, joy, and a smile to a child’s face.

All tools and supplies are provided, and new volunteers are always welcome. It’s a wonderful way to stay active, make new friends, and give back in a meaningful way.

🪵 Toymakers meet Tuesdays from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. at The Center, 803 Kingwood Street in Brainerd.

Come see how creativity, craftsmanship, and community come together at The Center! ✨

Staying active doesn’t have to mean overdoing it. 💚
At The Center, there are plenty of gentle and enjoyable ways to keep moving, stay social, and support your health at your own pace.
Here are just a few ideas:
☕ Start your morning with coffee and conversation
🚶 Take a short walk through the building and visit with friends. We are always happy to give someone a tour!
🧩 Join a game of cards, billiards, chess, or puzzles
🎨 Try a creative class like painting or card recycling
💪 Participate in light exercise or stretching activities like Qigong, Bone Builders, and Chair Yoga.
🎶 Enjoy music, dancing, good food, or entertainment programs like Thursday’s live music, Lunch and Learn, and Second Monday Dinners.
😊 Volunteer for a project that brings you joy and purpose
Sometimes the best kind of activity is simply staying connected.
