When you letter is recieved, you will be put onto a branch. Branches are considered full at 6 members, and then the tapes will be mailed to the first person on the branch. Complete instructions come with the tapes. The last person on a branch will keep the tapes, and mail a check to cover the cost of the tapes and postage. If you are unable to make copies, you will be put in the last spot of a branch. PLEASE only claim the ability to make copies if you can make and mail out tapes within a short period of time (2 or 3 days)."
