Summary

The Beaver Island Game Club hosted its annual hunters’ dinner at Holy Cross Parish Hall on November 16, 1964. The November announcement promised Irish stew and a film; the December report identifies Dave Jenkins of the Michigan Conservation Department’s Game Division as the principal and says an Island rabbit-hunting film followed.

Evidence and limits

The two issues distinguish the planned dinner from the later report that it was held. They do not provide attendance, receipts, minutes, or a complete volunteer list.
