GENEALOGY CLUB By Jane Imparl The next meeting of the Genealogy Club will be on Wednesday, December 10 at 2 pm in the HFC Craft Room. For the last several months we have been learning about Artificial Intelligence and how it can help you greatly with your genealogy research. Then we took a “deep dive” into newspapers and have learned what a valuable research tool they are for finding information about our ancestors. Come join your LA neighbors for a fun and informative session at the HFC. We welcome all levels of expertise…from beginner to expert. If you have questions, call Jane at 815-545-6655. Hope to see you at our next meeting. LA CERAMIC CHICS By Shari Gleber Join the LA Ceramic Chics every Wednesday at the HFC Craft Room 8 am to 12:30 pm. No experience with painting ceramics?
