Community Circle

New in 2026, BDAI launches our Community Circle. These community connecting programs are organized and hosted by volunteers. These are intended as an additional connection point for support and relationship building for our community throughout Illinois.

Examples of these events may include: gathering for coffee, or dinner, taking community classes together like a cooking class, going to a sporting event together, or meeting for a picnic.

If you would like to volunteer to host an event, please reach out to info@bdai.org. And be on the lookout for these volunteer hosted events to pop up in your area!

Upcoming events

July 18th, meet up with some of our board members at Melt ‘n’ Dip in Niles

September 5th, join our community at Graeters in Northbrook.

Come as you are, bring your family, bring a friend, and enjoy a couple hours of community connecting in our new community circle events.
