Six brave souls attended the San Antonio Chapter start-up meeting. Interestingly, they were all people who either had grown up children or no children at all (although Ron is practically starting over with his adopted kids)! We need to get some parents involved!
While this group may not be the chapter board in the long run, they have agreed to work towards getting an OTM (Operation Testimony Meeting) going at Third Church on Wednesday 5 March (The first Wednesday of the month) and a big kick-off event down on the river including rafting or floating down the river on tubes or some such. It seems it was an event they did years ago and it went over really well.
One of the concerns presented was the distance of things. It seems many of the church members are scattered all around the outskirts of town so larger more substantial events might work better than little gatherings like OTM's. We'll see.
A huge thanks to this crowd: Ron, Marisa, Carol, Fielding, Susie and Tina for being a part of the seed group. Though, to the credit of a few other folks, there were some other meetings going on at the same time. Hopefully this seed group will be able to reign them in and get things going.
