Last Week's Meeting
Last week President Dane presented his interesting family history and explained how he ended up in central Illinois, his first jobs, and how his experience with a Galesburg mayor became an asset when applying for his position with our Village.  BG residents and our club members are fortunate that your ancestors made their way to Illinois.  Thank you for your classification speech, Dane.
