Just a reminder about the 2025 Adair County Genealogical Society's historic church calendars now available--we still have several left if you are interested. They make a great gift in the post-Christmas season. We have mailed several and I have several to hand-deliver locally in the next few days. If you have claimed one or more, you are good and will have a calendar. If not, let me know here or via email [[email protected]] or call the Research Center [270-380-1024] and we can save for you. $15 if picked up, $20 if mailed USPS [Hard for me to believe postage has become this ridiculous!].
