A Genealogical Workshop was held with leaders of the Daughters of the American Revolution to discuss the work of the DAR with a group of prospective members who plan to organize a new chapter in our area. The DAR workshop was held at the Huntley Area Public Library, 11000 Ruth Rd, Huntley, Dec. 13. Volunteer genealogists were available to assist with new member applications.
