LE ROY PENNYSAVER & NEWS - FEBRUARY 13, 2022 by Lynne Belluscio We know some people who would never think of joining a historical society. We’re not sure what they think will happen to them. It’s actually painless. We don’t expect a blood test - -in fact we don’t need proof of vaccination or boosters. We don’t need a list of references or people you have worked for. No photo ID. In fact, we don’t take attendance at meetings. We don’t have an entrance exam. And there is no hazing - - at least not that we know of. You can even pronounce the name of the town “LEE roy” instead of “LeRoy” and we’ll let you join. You can live in Stafford, Pavilion, even Caledonia or Mumford, and you’ll be welcome to join. You don’t have to like Jell-O. We know a few people who hate Jell-O but they are members. You should know that we have about 400 and that includes 100 people who are life members. We just welcomed our newest life member, Denise Duthe. Last year we had 11 people who decided to become life members. Just a note about Life Members. Their $400 membership money doesn’t go into the yearly operations. Instead, the money is put into an endowment and only the earnings and interest are used. Year after year, that money helps the Historical Society. But even if you become a member at a $25 level, your membership is important. And we promise you’ll get your money’s worth. There are four newsletters, and invitations to special events. Members have free admission to the Jell-O Gallery all year. All members receive coupons for a discount in the gift shop. And members receive 2 passes for admission to the Jell-O Gallery which they can give to a friend or family member. Members also have access to the research library and are not asked to give a research fee. So, with all these benefits, what other reasons should encourage you to join the LeRoy Historical Society. One reason, is that in a community, the vitality of its organizations is important. It’s important to take pride in your community. You have nothing to lose in becoming a member of the Historical Society - - - and just because we really want a few more members - - - - the first 50 new members will receive a free Jell-O T-shirt - - your choice of colors.
