[Imc-supervisors] Re: [Imcamericorps] Copier Access for AmeriCorps members

[carol ammons]

Good morning All,

I'm not sure how many copies are being made by Americorps members but
I will ask about this at our member meeting Thursday.  If any
particular project is using the copier for Americorps work, how would
the Americorps program cover the cost?  Would it be by the project
that they work with?
