[Lindengardens] [lindencondos] Fwd: laundry room update - provisional installation

Wed Aug 24 23:56:43 EDT 2011

Thanks for having the weeds taken care of!!!!

I am wondering what the update is about the card 
system for the laundry machines?  Maybe I do a 
lot of laundry, but I am having a hard time 
accruing enough quarters to keep up with 
it!  Laundromats with coin-operated machines also 
tend to have change machines (if there are any of 
those left!)  :-)  I imagine that would be 
difficult to install and keep up with here.  But 
would love to know when the card reader stuff will be here.

Thanks!!!!
