Beaver Island Michigan

Thanks for the heads up on the BIBCO stock. Sorry I wasn't clear that I have two prospective sellers. The issue is that they have variable numbers of shares and a big difference in what they are asking per share. I was hoping to buy the minimum of 5 shares but they rightfully want to sell all their ...

Mrs. Kohls, Thank you for the information. This has been truly a learning process for me. Every little bit of information helps. I do understand that BIBCO is private and BITA is public but like many including yourself, we don't fully understand the relationship between the two. I think what most pe...

Update to my previous message to BITA. BITA responded to my e-mail stating that they have no information from BIBCO relating to the cost issues I listed above. I sent a reply message asking that my request be placed on the BITA agenda at their next meeting in order for discussion as to whether the i...

BITA Board, I would respectfully request that BITA release to the public the following BIBCO financial information: 1. Dividends paid or set aside on BIBCO stock shares 2. Breakdown of all BIBCO executive salaries and officer salaries 3. Breakdown on cost of BIBCO executive/officer medical insurance...

Mr. Pike, We're in the same sand box. Their comments can only be hurting Beaver Island and its reputation.

I wonder why people are choosing not to visit or move to Beaver Island? It's not all cost related. Would you like some of these people being the greeting committee to welcome you?

Doctor Powers' survey is a wonderful start to identifying positions on township consolidation. I noted several common themes in the comments section. One was the cost of the boat fares. Air transportation numbers seem to be increasing over the years while boat ridership is decreasing. Although I tak...

Thank you Mr. Yager, my sentiments exactly and I think those of other potential investors who I have heard from over the past couple of months. I think Beaver Island needs a Sentinel.

Just to let everyone know, I heard back from Ms Cook at BITA who informed me that the e-mail address posted on the Beaver Island Forum is incorrect. biboat@tds.net is the old address and that mail goes into a Spam file. She thanked me for my e-mail and will forward it onto her directors. Any comment...

My e-mail sent to BITA this evening. If you say nothing, nothing will change. I've done my part!

Mr. Bolton, Thank you expounding on your "Just sayin'". I understood the term, just wondered about more detail of what you were just sayin'. I agree with all your points. I don't think a study will do anything other than confirm the operation of the Emerald Isle needs to improve to include...

Mr. Bolton, Good information for comparison but what is it that you are "Just sayin'"?

Mr. McCafferty, Sorry for the stutter step if I gave the impression you are not hopeful things will change, that's not my belief and I'm sure it's not yours. Reading your posts, we do not always agree but you have always put it out there and expressed your views. I wish everyone, not just a few of u...

Mr. McCafferty, I liked your tongue in cheek humor with your, "Welcome to Beaver Island Darby Campbell". Just wanted to let you know you are not the only one on the welcoming committee. I received a similar private message that basically told me to "wake up", this is Beaver Islan...

I still have not heard what entity is responsible for the Emerald Isle but was informed last night that BITA has no responsibility or control over the Emerald Isle. BITA's function is to simply act as a financial clearing house for passing State money directly to the BIBCO for the operation of the b...
