It is necessary that we start to do a little begging for RCGS for money to buy a copier. RCGS depends on a copier to do all of its books which I think you will all agree are wonderful. The copier we have is breaking down regularly. We hardly have a week go by that we don't have to call for service. Today another part broke on the machine. There is already a copier fund started. Marion Frazer, a widow, has given $100.00 three different years toward a copier. Of course you know they are much more expensive than that, but it is a wonderful start. I also know that Christmas is not a good time to ask for donations, but we can't even get the quarterly out with the copier this way. Maybe someone can come up with a better way to copy, like using a lazer printer and a really good scanner. I have heard that this is the way to go. Please help us with ideas and help us with the purchase by donating to our copier fund. We can't help you without a way to copy information for you.
