Summary

The Beaver Beacon announced a planned service for its October 1996 issue: a recurring list of public meetings, events, charitable activities, and other activities open or relevant to the public. It invited township boards, the school board, the Boat Company, Property Owners Association, Historical Society, Transportation Authority, Chamber, Medical Auxiliary, EMS, Fire Department, Wildlife Club, and Waste Management Committee to submit notices.

Evidence limits

This records the proposal and submission deadline, not proof that the listing was complete or continued in later issues.
