OBOFS Closed till Monday due to death in Family
Submitted by Gwenyfar on Wed, 06/24/2009 - 17:04.We will be temporarily closed until Monday June 29, 2009 due to the passing of Diana Rohler, Matriarch of our family. All bookstore events are still cancelled until further notice. Many thanks for all the kind words and wonderful offers to help. This has been very hard for us and we are so grateful for all the support. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience due to store hours or event cancellation. Thank you for understanding, The Rohler Family.
ALL EVENTS ARE CANCELLED
Submitted by Gwenyfar on Fri, 06/19/2009 - 01:47.Until further notice we are cancelling all events at the bookstore. Most of you know by now that Diana Rohler (the brains behind this family operation) has stage 4 cancer. This week she took a bad turn and after emergency surgery she is in ICU. Gwenyfar is camped out in ICU with Mommy. We are attempting to maintain as close to normal business hours as we can. Austin has been holding down the fort at the store during the week and Daddy (Lloyd) is still planning to be there this weekend. We are at a very touch and go time. We are sorry for any inconveniences regarding store hours and events.
