Awesome items for raffle and silent auction as well as a Basket of Joy. Cash Bar. Need not be present to win. Drawings a...

Yes BI Pirate these are people who have donated services or items to be raffled. Of course the family is so thankful for anyone who has contributed in any way. The list would be too long to mention everyone. And if we could repay everyone we would do so, tenfold. We are blessed to be part of such a ...

Trish, these are the donors for the raffle and auxtion prizes at the benefit party being held in Charlevoix on Feb. 9th.

This is correct information Bob. And I might add, when it comes time to renew your permit, you should consider the services of Mainland Parking. This is a newer business to the area run by Dean Spencley and Danny Drost. Both fellas have a history with the island and run other successful businesses h...

Adam I will look and see what I have. A person in need is a person in need whether he is in Afghanistan or living next door.

He keeps amazing us over and over. We are so proud of his accomplishments. I know his dad and Clarence are proud too.

Well Adam, I could have it there, but why would I want to? Instead of Barney O'Donnell's Lake, we are having it at O'Donnell's farm. Not a canoe rack in site! :) Just can't figure out why what is already perfect needs to be changed or "preserved". Let the natural progression of things cont...

This change upset me more than one can imagine. Barney's Lake has been my favorite spot on the island for my entire life. It is where I have gone for peace of mind, for a quiet visit with friends and to take my daughter frog hunting. My heart always skipped a beat as I caught the first glimpse of he...

I have TONS of stuff leftover from Santa for Soldiers...who do I send it to? The school?

I am in search of Blue Mason jars to either borrow or buy. I need 30-40 of them. If you have any or know where I could find some, please let me know. Resale shops tend to not carry these because apparently they are a hot commodity and they are not made any more. I'm hoping someone has some lying aro...

All that being said, thank you from our entire family.for whatever role you played. Special thanks to Island Airways who have shown my family on more than one occassion sincere generosity and kindness. You get what it means to be a part of this community. You & your pilots never fail to get the ...

Unless you're from Beaver Island it can be difficult to believe that anything is possible. Small, yet life changing, miracles occur there daily. In this community, the word can't does not exist. We waited some long months to get Brett home. And the last weeks of his tour in Afghanistan were not pret...

Its really true this time!

Brett got rerouted to Kalamazoo and thanks to Island Airways, we are coming home with him at 9:00pm! We hope you'll join us at the airport to give him a proper welcome home!
