Summary

At its April 1968 meeting, the Beaver Island Civic Association set the last Saturday in April for a volunteer cleanup of accumulated debris around the harbor and roads. The notice also asked year-round and summer residents to clean yards and sidewalks and to plant flowers and trees where appropriate.

Evidence and limits

This record preserves the planned cleanup and beautification appeal. The issue does not report completion, attendance, material removed, or a volunteer roster.

Sources
