Summary

At its March 7, 1985 meeting, the Civic Association planned a May cleanup, discussed bylaws and membership, managed memorial and organizational funds, worked on tourism materials and a new map, and considered beach-access mapping.

Evidence limits

The minutes record discussion, reported balances, and plans; they do not establish adopted bylaws, audited accounts, published materials, or opened beach access.
