June Lee, left, and Janet Lee were outside of the Masonic Template 200 E. Main St., which also happens to be the location of The Batavian office, this afternoon, so I asked what was going on.
"We're waiting for the photographer from the paper," June said.
"Well, how would you like to have The Batavian take your picture, too?" I asked and she said "sure."
The book sale, sponsored by the Batavia Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star, is Thursday and Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., "rain or shine."
Proceeds will benefit various local charities.
One thing I was curious about: Whether Batavia has chapters of Demolay (I was a member for a short time in my youth), or Rainbow Girls. The Lees said there is an effort ongoing right now to reconstitute a Rainbow Girls chapter in Genesee County.
I think I have already read
I think I have already read most of those books. Back in 65 or 66. If it had been me setting up this picture I would have picked the cream of the crop and thrown a table cloth over the card table, not that it makes a bit of difference. I'm just fussy (I like that word) I guess.

Howard,
Batavia lodge #475 meets right across the hall from you on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. As you indicated that you are a former Demolay, I would encourage you to look into our Masonic fraternity. Nation wide the Masons give over 1 million dollars a day to charitable causes. We need more good men in the community to join fraternal organizations like the Masons.

I wonder if there are any
I wonder if there are any secret society conspiracy books for sale :)
Sorry couldn't resist I love listening to the tin foil hat brigade on Coast to Coast and I have nothing against the masons.
I am wondering if they accept
I am wondering if they accept book donations there, I have some books I want to get rid of, keep forgetting to take them to Richmond Library for the sale there.
