The BK Club: the Belgians' house, at anchor

Founded 1927 · bolling still offered

The anchor: The Belgian community's club stands whole in the Culture section — the BK Club, the Broederenkring, founded in 1927, the house of the west end's Flemish life — and its course as a community institution is told there and in the Neighborhoods section, and is not repeated here. Its place in this section is its standing as a club: a membership house of 1927 that still keeps its game — Belgian bolling, the wooden-disc bowling of the old country, is offered at the club in the present record, verified in November 2026 — which makes the BK Club, with the two Italian houses, one of the three ethnic clubhouses of the immigration generation still working in Mishawaka. The club's Belgian course, its feast days and its place in the west end are Culture's; the fact of the club, founded 1927 and open, is the anchor this section requires.
