Sources

  1. Reports fundraising ideas, brochure printing, a Charlevoix Chamber exchange, tourist-office information requests, maps and tours, May cleanup and planting dates, a proposed welcome flower bed, a postponed anniversary dinner, Beacon staffing, and Coast Guard review of a possible memorial site near the lighthouse grounds. It is a newspaper account of minutes and proposals, not bylaws, a published brochure, a tourist-office ledger, or a memorial-site authorization. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
