Make A Difference

Founded in 1973, the Board members were instrumental in raising the necessary funding to build the Big Ivy Community Center building. This building is now a licensed pre-school, a home away from home for small children. It also provides classroom space for after-school enrichment programs, and our adult community can choose from a variety of courses that range from Computers to Yoga. This beautiful building offers space to rent for workshops, meetings, birthday parties, weddings, and other special occasions.

The Board is made up of local citizens who have made a significant contribution to the BICC, and believe in the sustainability of the Community Center. Thanks to all those who believe that the Community Center is an important link in the chain that holds our community together. The Community Center needs your help, support and ideas. Join us today by calling our Executive Director, Bob Bowles at 828.625.3438 or email bicc@barnardsville.com.

Leave Your Legacy Program

Leave Your Legacy to help the Community Center and to leave your vision of the future through a planned donation. Your gift will help the Community Center thrive and prosper in the future. The most common method is through a charitable gift in a will or a living trust. Leave a percentage of your estate or a set amount, donate cash, securities, real or personal property. Leave life insurance policies or funds from a retirement account. Anyone can leave a gift, and every gift given to the Center will insure our future success and how we can better serve the community. A gracious and loving gift is one made in the memory of a loved one or to recognize someone who has made a difference in your life. If you do not state your intention for your estate, without a will property is settled according to state laws. If you are interested in leaving your legacy and future vision with the Community Center call our office and speak with Bob Bowles.
