Summary

The Beaver Island Rural Health Center grounds were improved through donated materials and volunteer labor. Jim Wojan supplied rocks, including a granite boulder near the entrance. BJ Wyckoff and Gary Marvin of Marvin’s Garden contributed more than $2,000 in plants, while Leonor Jacobson coordinated the project and volunteers planted the landscaping. Additional spring work was planned.
