Summary
September 2, 1973, was designated Jim Janda Day in recognition of Jim Janda’s time, effort, and money promoting and sponsoring Beaver Island girls’ and boys’ baseball teams. The season included two trips to Charlevoix and regular Sunday baseball activity.
Evidence and limits
The newspaper thanks Janda but does not provide a financial account, complete statistics, or a formal award record. The Jim Janda identity is kept distinct from the separate November 1973 James Janda township-office record.
