Valparaiso, IN

While heading from the Detroit Chapter canoe trip to Chicago I overnighted in Valparaiso, IN. Liz, a Prin classmate of mine is back in her hometown raising a family. The current count: One husband, one son and one daughter. While the kids are still quite young, she loved the concept of DiscoveryBound.

I gave her a DB Handbook to check out and she was so impressed with how comprehensive it is and how flexible DB is to letting each chapter mold the resources to suit their specific needs.

Liz has already gathered some support from her own church (which, BTW is celebrating it's centennial this year) and is reaching out to area churches to join in.

Valparaiso is actually quite close to Chicago... not even an hour out on the train, so it looks like they'll be able to start working with the Chicago chapter as well as have their own events on the south side of the city.
