- Reports 27 regular, 11 contributing, 3 sustaining, and 2 life memberships, and urges readers to join to help restore historical sites on Beaver Island. It is a published snapshot and appeal, not a membership ledger, dues record, charter, or restoration-completion record. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.data1 · beaver-island-archive · beaver_beacon · 1956-10_Beaver-Beacon
- The held three-page issue scan is paired with the OCR source and confirms the membership snapshot and restoration appeal; it does not expand the Society’s organizational or financial record.data1 · beaver-island-archive · scans · beaver_beacon · issues · 1956-10_Beaver-Beacon
