Our records are still in basements. Scan them. Share them.

@acfchicago was glad to welcome #Assyrian Clubs from Niles West, Niles North, and CICS Northtown Academy!
We shared our history and programs in fine arts, music, tutoring, and the Ashurbanipal Library.
We love seeing the next generation connect with their heritage.
