The Batavia Youth Baseball Board is looking for volunteers to come to help out with the fall cleanup.
Help is requested at the MacArthur Park ballpark this Sunday from 10 am until noon.

David Wagenhauser Takes a Day to Listen to Genesee County
David Wagenhauser, the democratic party nominee for New York’s 24th Congressional District, spent a day connecting with people around Genesee County.
Wagenhauser started his day at Pub Hub in Batavia where he listened to concerns with residents, specifically about the cost of living and the threat to Social Security. Wagenhauser then went door to door, personally meeting with residents in Batavia. Finally, Wagenhauser went to the Autumn in the Village event in Corfu and enjoyed an afternoon celebrating the fall season with Genesee County locals.
About Genesee County Wagenhauser said, “I lived in Batavia – where we also had an office for our family business – and my children attended Holy Family School in Leroy. This community holds a special place in my heart.”
