Summary

The Beaver Island Historical Society reported a strong 1963 museum season and reproduced a financial statement covering November 1, 1962 through November 1, 1963. The notice says the museum received increasing visitor attention and asks residents to loan additional historically valuable objects. The printed statement reports $1,484.80 in total receipts and $1,484.80 in total disbursements, including insurance, supplies, books and papers, roof upkeep, and the television project.
