   Notice of Paper Shortage
 Oneida Printing’s contracted
 paper supplier has informed
 the print shop of monthly paper
 supply limits. Should BC/GTC
 mailouts occur resulting in a
 paper supply shortage, only a
 limited number of print versions
 of the Kali will be able to be
 produced. This will also impact
 individual department’s printing.
 Yawvko for your understanding.
