Summary

The March 1956 Beaver Beacon reports the Beaver Island Civic Association’s February third-anniversary meeting and banquet. About 75 people were reported in attendance; the program included entertainment, and the Association elected new and returning board members and selected its officers.

Evidence and limits

The February issue is an advance notice, while the March issue is the result report. The reported attendance and membership totals are preserved as newsletter claims; minutes, ballots, a complete roster, and financial records are not inferred.
