Summary
The Beaver Island Chamber’s December 1997 column advertised a two-day getaway raffle involving Island Airways flights, Charlevoix meals and lodging, and a second Dream Vacation raffle offering a $2,000 travel voucher. It also reported that two Columbus cruise visits had been booked for September/October 1998 and thanked the community members who supported the 1997 visit.
Evidence limits
The notice establishes raffle terms and a booking announcement, not the winning tickets, final itinerary, passenger count, or completed 1998 visits.
