Bemidji Senior Center Schedules Matter of Balance Fall-Prevention Classes April and May

The Bemidji Senior Center will host a series of Matter of Balance fall-prevention classes at 216 Third St. NW in downtown Bemidji, with eight sessions scheduled between April and May and instruction by local facilitators Dianne Roholt and Barbara Lottmann. Each session will run from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., providing a recurring afternoon option for seniors across the two-month span.

The Bemidji Senior Center announcement lists the session dates in full: April 8, April 16, April 22, April 29, May 6, May 13, May 20 and May 27. The center statement says, “The Bemidji Senior Center will host its series of Matter of Balance classes from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. throughout April and May, at the center, 216 Third St. NW.” The schedule places the first class on April 8 and concludes the series on May 27, with instructors named in the announcement: Dianne Roholt and Barbara Lottmann will serve as instructors.

Enrollment in the April–May sessions is limited by membership status as published: “Classes are reserved for 2026 senior center members only.” The announcement also specifies registration logistics: “A sign-up sheet is available at the Bemidji Senior Center.” No telephone number, email address, online sign-up link, fee information or capacity limits were provided in the announcement text, and the sign-up requirement indicates in-person registration at the center’s address on Third Street NW.

Program funding and oversight for the scheduled classes are described in the notice with the following language: “The classes are made possible, in part, under the Federal Older Americans Act through a contract with NWRDC/Dancing Sky AAA, under an Area Plan approved by the Minnesota Board on Aging.” That sentence attributes partial federal funding and an administrative contract structure for the offering at the Bemidji Senior Center.

The announcement includes the fragment “Matter of Balance is an evidence-based” but does not complete that description or supply a curriculum outline, instructor bios, fee information or accessibility details. The published text does not clarify whether the phrase “2026 senior center members” refers to membership during the 2026 calendar year or is a typographical insertion, leaving eligibility specifics unresolved in the center’s notice.

Sessions begin April 8 and continue through May 27 at the Bemidji Senior Center, 216 Third St. NW; registration is handled via the sign-up sheet on site, and the announcement lists no alternate contact details, fees or participant limits.
