Summary

The Beaver Island Civic Association’s January 1960 application renewed annual membership and listed dues of $2 for a single member, $3 for a husband and wife, and $25 for a business, with lower rates after June 1.

Evidence and limits

The form is an appeal and rate schedule, not a membership roll, receipt ledger, or completed-renewal record.
