Now, some of us are ready to research the history of the homes of our families. At the July meeting, we will learn how to use the wonderful online website featuring David Rumsey's map collection. In addition, we will be looking at places to find online newspapers to help us understand our ancestors' everyday lives. Come join the fun on Wednesday, July 10 in the Craft Room at the HFC. Hope to see you there. GARDEN CLUB By Lynn Davis The LA Garden Club held its monthly meeting on June 12.
