Summary
The November 1991 Beaver Beacon describes the Beaver Island Community School’s cracked, uneven tennis court and proposes building one or two fenced courts. Harold Hart estimated the project at about $20,000, pledged $500 to test interest, and asked residents to return pledge forms without sending money yet.
Evidence limits
This is an interest test and fundraising proposal, not a completed pledge drive, grant application, construction contract, or court opening.
