Attendance at meetings averages between ten and fifteen, while discussion groups are smaller. We also have ZOOM in both venues.
"COVID took a toll on us as well as other groups and we are still recovering," says Jim Stannis. "But we are starting to grow our membership again."
Several members of the McHenry group have presented Civil War topics to adult education classes at McHenry County College and they've assisted the McHenry County Historical Society in restoring artifacts and writings.
Membership dues are $25 a year, and part of the money is used to support a $1,000 scholarship to the annual high school winner of a historical contest.
