SADD receives grant
Recently St. Johns High School Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) received a $1000 grant from the Office of Highway Safety Planning and Ford Driving Skills for Life called Strive 4 A Safer Drive (S4SD).
Students had various activities throughout the month of December for Impaired Driving Prevention Month. The school was decorated for Lights on For Life Month and students were reminded to drive safely. Activities geared toward Safe Driving will take place throughout the 2015 2016 school year.

Historical Society Archives offers a new Search Feature
To help in your research we now have a place online where you can search for sources of Clinton County residents and area information that is available at the Clinton County Historical Society Archives. This is a new feature we are offering with additions being made regularly so stop back often.
You can search by name, document title, category prefix, or zone code to show you what is available in a specific area of the Archives. Click on the “Archives Collection” button at the top of our main page to get to the search page. On that webpage you will find a key to the category prefix codes they have established and also a floor map coded by each zone of document/media storage.
Please check out the website to see everything that is available online and at the Archives. They are your go-to site for county marriages, deaths, local and family histories, school histories and statistics.
Want to view your senior class yearbook picture? We have over 300 class group pictures or actual yearbook senior pictures. This is just a small sample of what you’ll find. You will also find our hours, location and other contact information.
Please note that the Archives will not be open during our regularly scheduled hours if the St. Johns and DeWitt schools are closed for bad weather.
Let them know what you think of the new search tool or if you have problems with it. Comments, questions, or suggestions are always welcome at ccgensoc@yahoo.com.
The Historical Society Archives are excited to bring this new service and hope this makes your research easier. They have over 3,300 documents and thousands of names available. They hope you will be inspired to visit the Archives.
If you can’t come to the Archives, they have people available to do research for you for a fee. They are a non-profit organization run by volunteers to keep Clinton County’s history available. Whether you are new at genealogy or an experienced researcher they are here to help.
Happy Holidays from the staff of the Archives:
Janet Dunn, Julie Peters, Bill Serviss, Rowlan Smith, Kim Sperry, Ralph Temple, Myrna VanEpps, Judy Winslow
