    The notice announced a January 2, 2010 reopening after the holidays and the return of the regular Thursday–Saturday schedule, while again identifying the Beaver Island Fire Department as beneficiary. It is an operating notice, not a sales or donation ledger. No public copy of this file is known; the archive holds one and can provide it on request.

  3. A donor asked about a mailed clothing box; a shop worker confirmed it arrived safely. A later notice solicited additional donations and gave Thursday–Saturday hours. This documents donation activity and operating information, not inventory or proceeds.
