    Reports the March 21 meeting at the Shamrock, June 18, July 16, and August 20 benefit luncheons at Circle M, a July 30 rummage sale, shipwreck items from Robert Gillespie and Archie LaFreniere for raffles, and a special Medical Center addition drive handled by Barbara Beckers. It says drawings were still in Lansing for state specifications and does not establish attendance, proceeds, construction, or a bank record.
