Left at 8, picked up Frank at 8:20, got to CHM a few minutes later. Worked hard with volunteers Frank, Tony, and Arlette to set up our display of lots of “vintage” books and software.

Arlette sells a book using our Square terminal

Then from 10 to 6pm it was really quite boring, sitting around, while the other volunteers — some of them are teens and I got to sign their public service credit sheets, I’m not sure what agency gives them credit for this, but whatever — took care of the actual sales. Mostly using the cute little Square terminals, which are very slick, handling all types of sales.

After 6, Frank wanted to take part in the official social hour for exhibitors, outside on the patio. I spent the time chatting with Laurel, who is starting to come to terms with Bill’s death.

Then off to FOPAL main sales room where I selected two boxes of books from my regular shelves to spice up our sale tomorrow. Left Frank there, came home and made myself a sandwich for supper.
