[Community-service] Community-service Digest, Vol 59, Issue 1

[Jordan Mirander]

I have thought about volunteering with salvation army, but I have been
hesitant!  They have a store in Corona, California.    To those of you
who use iBill
How comes I get a lot of error messages when I try to scan money?  I
just got my Ibill unit this December, and whichever way I turn the
bill I get an error message.
