7.042 fopal, meetings

Monday 01/12/2026

Off to FOPAL first thing, as I needed to be back by 1pm. First Monday after the sale weekend, and I needed to scan all the books for ones that has seen three sales, and either send them to the bargain room or lower their price. This was made a bit difficult by what I found waiting.

That wall is twenty-one boxes of computer books. With, I’m told, more coming. I am sorry I don’t remember the guy’s name, anyway, he died in a car accident recently and his family is donating his collection which seems to be rather large. And of good quality, too, because I processed only four boxes today, and pulled out at least 20 books valued above $30 on Amazon, for our “high value” group to sell.

Back to CH and at 1pm joined the drama group in the auditorium to try out the new microphones I had found for them, and work on lighting arrangements.

Then to a different meeting at 2:30. This was the “transition” group, residents trying to think up ways to make residents of our new, satellite building, integrate into our “Channing House culture”. Or want to do that.

Some reading, some guitar, dinner, that was it.
