The Island Community Center strives to provide facilities and programs for all members of the community to enhance their well being.

        In some places we would be called a "recreational center" or "YMCA". In this community we are called simply the Community Center. Here, our senior citizens gather to socialize and play cards; children participate in summer camp and private birthday parties; classes such as gymnastics and hunter's safety are taught; and town's people gather for public hearings and meetings.
