UPS Stores Donate Copies to Schools The UPS Stores in Ballantyne Commons East, Blakeney Crossing and Weddington Corners are donating 10,000 copies and paper to local schools. Jay Patel, owner of the stores, says that state funding cuts have virtually eliminated the ability of public schools to make copies, so the stores are helping out. Anyone wishing to aid this effort can purchase a 100-copy prepaid card for $8, and the stores will add a 100- copy prepaid card free. All copy cards will be for the school of the donor's choice, can only be used for school business, and can be redeemed at one of the three UPS stores. For more info, call 704-943-1367.
