[UCIMC-Tech] computer parts

[Danielle Chynoweth]

My apologies.  Many folks still go through me for donations.  I typically
don't like to make funders do more work to donate - and Bob is an important
supporter of the IMC beyond this particular donation - so I didn't want to
send him on a circuit to be able to donate.  I did send him to the IMC at a
time I knew it would be staffed and assumed (wrongly) that AmeriCorps
members know how to take donations.  Hope we can correct this. - D
