Summary

The Beaver Island Historical Society held its annual meeting at Parish Hall on June 29, 1964.

Roy as president, Archie LaFreniere as vice president, and Len Rountree as secretary-treasurer.

Evidence and limits

The notice is a newspaper account of the meeting and officer slate. It also records a planned September benefit to clear the Mormon Print Shop debt; it does not preserve minutes, vote totals, a full roster, or financial records.
