Bois Blanc Island Community Foundation

Established through the generosity and vision of the late Fred Currier, the BBICF is a non-profit organization that seeks to fund programs that will enrich island life by preserving and enhancing the island's natural beauty and continually improve the health and safety of all visitors and residents of Bois Blanc Island. Grants from the Foundation can be used to fund programs that address educational, environmental, cultural, and other needs of the Island.

The book discussions are open to all Islanders and guests, male and female. Meetings are held in member's homes in July and August. The books are decided by vote at one of the discussions, and the titles for the next year are posted in mid-August. In late May, signs are posted with the year's titles, dates, times, and hostesses. This information is also found in the Tatler Newsletter. For more information contact Chris McAfee at 231-634-7267
