Summary

The December 1974 Beaver Beacon announced a Beaver Island Civic Association election for January 9, 1975, at St. James Township Hall. The January issue reports that it was held and names Ron Wozan president, Jim Jimsak vice-president, Bea Parker secretary, Richie Gillespie treasurer, and Shirley Gladish, Lil McGlocklin, June DeRosia, Ed Ladd, and Phil Gregg as board members.

Evidence and limits

The December notice captures the nominee roster; the January notice supplies the resulting slate. Neither issue provides vote totals, term dates, minutes, or a formal association record. Person links remain source-qualified and do not imply a complete membership or election history.
