Our Story
Area Seniors Inc. (ASI) was established in 1994 and became a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 1995, dedicated to enhancing the lives of senior citizens in Antrim County, Michigan. The dream of a dedicated Senior Center in Bellaire was realized in 1997, and ASI successfully maintained this center for 12 years through community fundraising and generous donations. In October 2009, ASI collaborated with local townships to transition the Senior Center to the Commission on Aging, allowing ASI to explore new programs and activities for seniors. Although the Senior Center is now taxpayer-funded, ASI continues to own the property behind it, where it has developed pole barns, a pavilion, a Community Center, and a park, all aimed at serving the senior community.
