Summary
The Beaver Island Civic Association held its planned harbor cleanup on May 5, 1973. The May report says trucks, workers, and schoolchildren turned out and that the work was done well.
Evidence and limits
The April notice records the permission request; the May follow-up supplies completion evidence but not volunteer attendance totals, permission responses, or a measured cleanup result.
