One day left to get Genesee County photo calendar with membership in The Batavian Club
People who become annual members will of The Batavian Club by the end of the day tomorrow will receive a 2013 calendar of Genesee County photos by Howard Owens. After tomorrow, no more orders for calendars will be accepted and the calendars will not be available for sale.
You can purchase the calendar for $25, or the better deal is to become an annual member of The Batavian Club by Dec. 15 and receive a free copy as part of your membership.
We're only printing as many copies are as sold (plus a few for gifts) and have been ordered by Dec. 15, so the calendar will not be available as a membership premium after Dec. 15.
Plus, we still have $5 gift certificates available for the first 60 members of The Batavian Club.
The slide show above contains the photos that will be used in the calendar. You can also click the "view gallery" link embedded in the slide show to visit my photography Web site and purchase individual prints, if you like.
To pay by check or credit card, click here to download our membership form and mail your payment to our office (or for credit card payment you can call (585) 250-4118).

In recognition of Power Ball reaching a $500 million prize pool, the New York State Lottery has provided Southside Deli with two tickets to this Sunday's Buffalo Bill's game at Ralph Wilson Stadium as a prize for a raffle drawing.
To enter the raffle, you most drop off a losing scratcher at the deli. Write your name and phone number on the back of the ticket. The winner will be selected Friday night in a drawing from all of those losing tickets. (If you don't have a losing ticket, go to Southside, buy some scratchers and leave a loser behind with your name and number on it for the drawing.)
Southside Deli is located at the corner of Ellicott and Liberty streets, Batavia.
The winner of the drawing gets both tickets. There is only one prize.

A good first day for 'The Batavian Club'
Billie and I always appreciate running into people around town who shower The Batavian with praise. We always love to know that people appreciate our work.
We've always asked our fans and supporters to help The Batavian thrive by supporting our advertisers, which you all have been great about doing.
