Summary

The March 1955 Beaver Beacon reports that the Beaver Island Civic Association held its second annual meeting on February 3, followed by a February 10 meeting at which the old board turned its records over to the incoming board. It names Frank Nackerman as president, Loy Malloy as secretary, and Mrs. Buddy Left as treasurer, and reports $986 received in personal and business memberships.

Evidence and limits

This is a contemporary newsletter report, not the association’s minutes, charter, or membership ledger. The reported amount is preserved as a publication claim; it is not converted into a complete financial or membership record.
