An Update on the Beaver Island Veterans Project
8/12/15

In July 2015 the Beaver Island community, AMVETS Post 46, and local friends of veterans announced the formation of the Beaver Island Veterans Project (BIVP).

BIVP's plan for its first-year project was to invite a disabled veteran to the island for a retreat of several days in the fall of 2015, possibly including a public presentation by its guest. Contacts were made to find a worthy candidate for the program, and fundraisers discussed for upcoming months. AMVETS Post #46 agreed to accept tax-deductible donations for the BIVP and it's programs.

However, it has been decided that more time will be needed to carry out the necessary planning and fundraising for the veteranâ??s retreat. The new time frame for this program is now spring 2016--possibly around Flag Day, June 15th.

BIVP looks forward to making this retreat a reality in service to our disabled veterans. Volunteers and donors interested in supporting this worthy project for 2016 can contact Dickie McEvoy at 231-448-2799 or mcevoy0403@aol.com, or Jean Kinsley at 231-448-2856.
