Summary
The March 1972 Beaver Beacon reports that the Beaver Island Association of Michigan had last met in Lansing in March 1965 but retained a balance in a fund used for association expenses. Its officers approved equal donations to the Beaver Island Medical Center Auxiliary and Beaver Island Historical Society.
Evidence and limits
The report does not establish the association’s legal status, founding or dissolution date, membership, or whether the donation decision came from a new meeting. The record preserves the association as named in the source rather than merging it with other Beaver Island organizations.
