Summary

The October 2012 Beaver Beacon reports a September 15 Beaver Island open studio and bead-making response to the Beads of Courage Bead Challenge, including sponsorships and donated glass and polymer-clay beads.

Evidence limits

The report gives the newspaper’s counts and amount; it does not establish a complete donor ledger or later program distribution records.
