Description

Fundraising "Community Birthday" wall calendar for the Saugatuck-Douglas Band Boosters. Each day's square is printed with local events, meetings or games and the names of people with birthdays or anniversaries on that day. The calendar was sponsored by local business with their ads covering most of the calendar's spare space except for a photo of the Saugatuck High School band in uniform. Text on the calendar backer reads "The community birthday calendar is copyrighted, designed and published by the Gordon Bernard Company, Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio ... and is sold only by their representatives." The calendar is printed in black and pea-green ink with a black metal reinforcing bar along the top edge. The back is blank.
