Summary
Beaver Islanders organized a free-will-donation spaghetti dinner at the Shamrock on August 24, 2016, to support Chris and Gordy Heikka. The forum also indicated that a separate Whiskey Point Brewing benefit was planned for September. A September 4 thank-you from the beneficiaries credited the brewery, organizers, donors, and attendees and described the turnout as wonderful.
