Do you have a book in you? We can help, edit, layout and publish it for you and it doesn't have to be that expensive. Nowadays you can print just one copy of your book for under $10 with no minimum order. We just helped David Augustyn of Geneseo publish his book of "Campfire Tales." What book do you have in you?

There’s plenty of parking available on Main Street in Geneseo. This is pretty much what it looks like every morning when I open at 10 AM!

A few thoughts on normalizing the unmasked. At this time, other than that a few isolated venues such as East Avon Flea Market, the unmasked are a very small minority of those shopping at most stores. If you own a retail store, especially not one subject to excessive state regulations such as a bar or restaurant, here are a few things to consider. 1. You do not have to require facemasks on your customers. As long as social distancing can be maintained, face masks are not requi...red by any state executive order. This is why people are able to freely shop at Walmart and Wegmans without masks and without legal complications. It should be no different for a smaller store. 2. Subject to limitations that may be imposed by the American with Disabilities Act, it is the right of every business owner to choose whether they want to require shoppers to wear masks. People that wait on customers are generally not given that freedom. If you feel that for your own safety you want to require masks on customers that is your right. 3. On the other hand, if you want to allow some customers to shop in your store without a mask either for Medical or any other reason that is also your right. I understand that some of your other customers may object to that. It's up to each business owner to decide whether they will have a net gain in business by excluding the unmasked versus business loss from customers objecting to the unmasked. 4. If one of your objecting customers were to file a complaint against you for allowing other customers to shop without masks, I don't believe that there is any action that would be taken against you. Again, as long as people are maintaining social distance there is no legal requirement for customers to wear a masks or you to require it other than at bars, restaurants or other businesses that have special rules. 5. Finally, please consider that by keeping a "masks required" policy in effect you are prolonging the fear pandemic. If you personally do not believe that masks are effective in either protecting you or your customers, then why allow the fear to continue? To allow you to communicate a "mask optional" policy to your customers I will be happy to provide you with a free 11X17 laminated sign to put in your door like the one pictured here. Please contact me at Genesee Graphics if you want one. Call or text 233-5338 or email: [email protected]

Thanks to all you who made negative comments about my business, threatened to boycott me and wrote bad reviews. Our July sales were up over 50% over last year! Keep the hate coming!

We would like to take care of your printing needs in a way that makes us both feel safe. If you feel safer with a mask, please wear one. I don't!

At Genesee Graphics, we have been busy making protest yard signs. Let us make some for your next protest!

Notice: You are welcome to wear a mask (or not) in my shop, that's your business. I don't care what you do, but I will not be forced by anybody to wear a mask in my own shop. I would be happy to maintain social distance from you if you come in. If you don't want to come in, you may e-mail me your file and I will print it and leave it in the lobby for you to pick up. Also if I am in the shop, you can call my cell and I will be happy to come outside and conduct business on the sidewalk from a safe distance. If none of these options work for you, please feel free to find another print shop!

Yesterday the most remarkable thing happened. Mainly as a result of one person, Julie Carman, inviting people to like my page we had over 50 new likes! For those who may not know, I had a very difficult weekend because of my involvement in the Reopen Livingston County group. I was attacked by many people on Facebook when an article was published in the Livingston News about our Re-Open rally on Friday. Some even threatened to boycott my business because of my personal views.... I don't believe that all the people who liked my business necessarily share my more extreme views of the situation, however, to have that outpouring of support was a very welcome way to start the week. Thanks Julie and thanks to all who liked this page!
