Is there some way to determine if a copier is needed? If they
weren't receptive to your offer to help make copies, they may not want
to share this information. Maybe they like having this control and
would not be interested. I would be more than happy to make a
contribution. I am planning a trip to NJ in the fall and would find
this frustrating also. Anyone else interested?
Thank you for letting us know about your positve experience. I was
dreading my visit there, but now I am more optimistic.
