Summary
TDS Telecom’s January 1997 Beaver Island account says the company had removed its aerial facilities and cleaned up cable hardware, sponsored a BICS writing contest and island events, and supported the Historical Society with a $100 donation. It presents these activities as part of the telephone utility’s community role.
Evidence limits
This is a company and customer-service account, not an independent engineering, sponsorship, or donation ledger.
