Thanks so much for your reply. The closest
place listed is 40 miles away. But that could be a start.

Try this link for other clubs in Illinois: Woodburning Tools by Colwood: Carving Clubs

Also, if you subscribe to or buy Wood Carving Illustrated, check out each issue for Carving shows within your driving distance. Once there, you will find suppliers, but be able to talk to other carvers and you may find a carving group close to you. AND, you may find a location that offers beginners carving classes.
