Island Fellow Arrives Today

Post by Pam Grassmick »

The eagerly anticipated arrival of the first Great Lakes Island Fellow is today! Stefanie Burchill will arrive on the afternoon boat and begin work tomorrow morning. A meet and greet will be scheduled soon at the Community Center. Please extend a warm island welcome when you see Stefanie. She completed her orientation with the Island Institute in Maine and will be participating in the Great Lakes Islands Summit scheduled for September 25th-27th here on Beaver Island.

A hearty thank you to all the individuals and organizations who have provided support (monetary, in-kind or both) to make the Communication Fellow a reality for our community:

Island Airways, the Beaver Island Historical Society, St. James Township, Peaine Township, , Whiskey Point Brewing Company, the Wildlife Club, Bill Markey, Suzy & Evan Steger, Alana & Bob Anderson, Judy & Kevin Boyle, Kevin & Laurie Konarska, Maureen Abele, Thomas & Susan Hawkins, the Office of Great Lakes, the Beaver Island Association (from an anonymous donor), and the Preservation Association of Beaver Island.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Patrick McGinnity, Kevin Boyle, or me.
