Help Us Find Free Printing for 4-H Materials

It is a challenge to not exceed our copying allotment each month. We do not run out of paper, but often exceed our copy budget on the Extension Service copy machine. The newsletter alone uses us nearly all of our allotment. Free printing of materials such as Officer Training Packets, Awards & Recognition Books, Curriculum Guides or other packets is extremely helpful! 4-H members can use this as a service opportunity by finding area businesses willing to make copies for us. We can provide paper and the originals to take to the printer. To_Top
