Summary
The November 2005 Beacon described Beaver Island as the first Michigan island to participate in the beach cleanup and reported 42 volunteers collecting 260 pounds of trash over approximately ten miles of shore on September 17. It names BICS, the townships, BIPOA, and local volunteers as supporters.
Evidence limits
The September and November reports give different collected-weight figures (250 and 260 pounds); this record preserves the November follow-up rather than silently reconciling the discrepancy.
