Happy New Year to All
The pandemic pushed many into survival mode but BTSS quickly focused on revival. Creating safe new ways to deliver services has been a great outcome of this most challenging year. Our strengthened resilience and commitment will bring revitalization in 2021. We look forward to a great New Year filled with hope, peace, health, happiness and connection.

Christmas Meals on Wheels
Our Christmas Meal on Wheels service was a huge success! More than 100 meals were delivered or picked up at the senior center. It was a snowy, cold Christmas morning filled with gratitude, smiles and good cheer. Thanks to all who volunteered and donated and to our sponsor HAP for their support.
This awesome service for Thanksgiving and Christmas meals allowed area seniors to stay safely in their homes and to enjoy a holiday meal.

DIA Virtual Presentation January 13
DEGAS, RENOIR & FRIENDS Zoom virtual presentation
Presented by: Docent - Detroit Institute of Arts
Wednesday, January 13 1:30-2:30 PM
Some of the most important French artists of the 19th century resisted the elitist aesthetic of the academic art tradition by emphasizing the people around them and the human experience as subject matter during a transitioning moment in the modernist era. These are all works on paper by Degas, Renoir, Cezanne and other well-known painters. Although it was a revolutionary movement, Impressionism had roots in other styles of painting, such as Realism and Naturalism that were already challenging conventional notions of artistic beauty and the artist’s relationship with the state. Please join us in this Docent lead presentation from the Detroit Institute of Art. Register online or call the senior center at 248-723-3500.
