Finally! College credit for Henry George School courses!

Progress toward moving
Some of us spent a few hours Saturday preparing for the move to 30 E. Adams. Here’s tangible evidence– we emptied two file cabinets, which involved rearranging a lot of files. These piles are some of the results. Let us know if you’d like to buy a couple of legal-size file cabinets, ugly but work …
