Summary

The Beaver Island Historical Society held its annual meeting at the Old Print Shop Museum on September 4, 1970. With only eleven people present, it could not elect new officers; the president appointed Rev. Edward Donahoe and William Welke to board vacancies and named Mabel E. Roy acting secretary. The report also said work had begun on a new Protar House roof.
