Hi Len, I have two questions for you regarding your email.
(1) I looked into this, and it does not appear to be a violation of our
501(c)3 tax exemption to provide the service at cost. Do you have a
specific reference you could share?
(2) I thought we'd agreed last January that Cat, as Print Shop Manager,
would handle turning away customers whose jobs we couldn't handle. Are we
no longer going with that?
