Bismarck Beacon: Let us “Plug” You In!

Presented by Capital Credit Union “Grow With Us”

Socially On-board Into the Bismarck Community

We know new employees and those returning to the area are looking to “plug in” to Bismarck socially– but how? And where do you find all the information?

Bismarck Beacon “Plugged In” is a TedX style event where multiple Bismarck organizations present opportunities for employees and residents to socially ‘plug in’, including sports/recreation, arts, volunteering, family/kids events, and you will get to see a fun Pickleball Demonstration video (picture) with the help of Bismarck Parks & Recreation, Capital Credit Union and our Beacon team! The purpose is for our community to help plug you in, making Bismarck your forever home!

Who should attend: New Bismarckers, new job, looking to get involved in the community, recruiters and community leaders, pretty much everyone!
This is a FREE event, but please register so we have a count for food!

Downtowners Member, Alchemist Tattoo, led the charge to amend a Bismarck Ordinance regarding tattooing and body piercing of minors. The change in ordinance will allow Alchemist and other professional piercing businesses to pierce minors 14+ with valid ID, for a safe piercing experience.
