Sister Chapters

Sunday was a double bonus feature day with the creation of two new chapters for DiscoveryBound: West Texas and Minneapolis.

Liz from Mankato, MN contacted HQ in Denver curious about what a DB Chapter was after her daughter attended the DiscoveryBound Boston Youth Meeting in conjunction with Annual Meeting at the Mother Church. I contacted Liz and we had a great chat and she's keen to get a chapter going. Talk about dedication though, she hauls her family 80+ miles to get to church in Minneapolis!

As a result of the very successful Sunday School Workshop hosted by The First Church of Christ, Scientist Abilene, TX, their first reader, Emily stepped forward and said she wanted to see this happen for the West Texas youth. We talked some at the workshop and Sunday after church she was ready to take the point on getting the chapter together. This is a very ambitious and unique chapter. Just for kicks, I calculated the area it covers... wager to guess? Try 96,000 sq miles!

Seeing as these chapters were started on the same day, and as they are about as far apart as they can be from one another in the Central Region, I'm declaring them 'Sister Chapters' and maybe some day we can get an event organized with the two of them together... "Meet me in St. Louis?"
