- An early community thread said no CMU course had yet been announced; a later post reported that watercolor and clay classes were awaiting approval and then gave August 8–20 dates. This is a planning sequence, not evidence that the initial concern was wholly correct or that every planned class occurred.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 02 · t002211
- A participant announced a Thursday 1–4 p.m. Community Center exhibition and said 25% of sales would support the Center.
