Trans Day of Remembrance at BIMA
2024-11-17 16:00 | BIMA Auditorium, 550 Winslow Way E, Bainbridge Island, WA, 98110, United States
The Transgender Day of Remembrance has been held at BIMA since 2017. This year, Bainbridge Pride & Kitsap Pride Network will come together to honor the lives of those who faced too little welcome, reading their names as a testament to their existence and our shared humanity.
In our gathering, we will engage with members of the Equity community to explore our connections and discuss how we can foster an environment of greater care and acceptance. Together, we aim to reduce violence and self-harm, creating a more inclusive space for all.
Bainbridge is committed to ensuring our Trans youth feel safe and embraced, especially in light of the challenges faced by those who have been forced to leave less welcoming environments. We invite you to join in reflection and dialogue, as we honor the past and envision a future rooted in compassion and understanding. Your presence and curiosity are vital to this important conversation.
This event is sponsored by Rainbow Crew NW and our partners; Queer Elders Family of the Senior Center, Transfriending, Bainbridge Pride, and the Bainbridge Island-North Kitsap Interfaith Council.

Jean Lenke @ The Marketplace
2024-11-15 19:00 - 21:00 | The Marketplace, 4738 Lynwood Center Rd NE, Bainbridge Island, WA, 98110
“Jean has recently made her home in the Pacific Northwest, on the Olympic Peninsula. Through her music she celebrates all the shades and hues life brings us here, feelings, beautifully expressed and set free! As a performing artist, composer, lyricist, and bandleader she brings the joy of her parent’s music of the 1940’s together with the spirit of the Folk-Rock & Jazz-Rock Fusion soundtrack of her own youth in an eclectic mix ~ familiar, yet slightly off center, with haunting appeal. Artfully blending the magic of the past with the energy of the future Jean’s delivery is transportive, melting hearts with her a crystal clear tone and sultry warmth.”
