Summary

In early July 2024, the Beaver Island COA reported a damaged office phone, near-exhausted meal vouchers, a temporary phone and additional vouchers coming from Charlevoix, and an Independence Day closure. It later reported restored phone service, warned that earlier voicemail messages were inaccessible, and said Tai Chi continued while Cardio Drumming and Bingocize awaited space and a time slot.

Evidence limits

These are direct operational updates. They establish the COA’s reported service conditions and responses, not an audited outage duration, voucher log, complete call recovery, attendance, or program outcomes.

  2. The COA reported restored phone service using a corded telephone, warned that messages left after July 2 could not be heard, and announced a temporary absence of the site coordinator. It establishes the stated resolution and communication limits, not complete call recovery or service impact.

  3. The COA said Tai Chi continued, Cardio Drumming and Bingocize would return when space and time were available, and phone and voicemail issues had been resolved. It documents an operational update and scheduling uncertainty, not attendance or program outcomes.
