Summary

The December 1976 holiday pages say LaFreniere’s Store was making a donation to the Medical Center Building Fund and Beachcomber Tavern was making a donation to the Medical Center Auxiliary instead of sending cards.

Evidence and limits

These are announced charitable intentions, not proof of received funds. The notices supply no amount, receipt, transaction date, donor ledger, or later use. The destination distinction between the Building Fund and Auxiliary is preserved.

Sources

  1. LaFreniere’s Store, signed Dick & Jean, says it is making a donation to the Medical Center Building Fund instead of sending cards; Beachcomber Tavern, signed Pat & Jim, says it is making a donation to the Medical Center Auxiliary. The notices supply no amounts, receipts, transaction dates, donor ledger, or later use of either contribution. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
