The Board has scheduled two Chrysalis Flights for this summer to be held at FUMC Midlothian .

It has been several years since our Conference held a Chrysalis event, and apparently there are few who know how to get one started. We are looking to you for help. We cannot find any Youth to fill Team Positions because the Youth from the last Flights held, have grown up and many are now in college or elsewhere. Therefore the Board decided to utilize college aged young adults as the “Youth” Team Members. At least maybe we can get this thing going again, and build a new crop of Youth Team Members for future Fights.

We are also looking for CHRYSALIS EXPERIENCED ADULTS to help with the Flights. Additionally, we are looking for anyone else who wants to be on a Team.

We need to get this done quickly !!!!

Please respond to my home e-mail address, thehopkinsranch@juno.com if you know:

1.)   Chrysalis Experienced Youth (college age is okay) for LD, ALD, and Table Leader positions.
2.)   Chrysalis Experienced Adults interested in working on a Team.
3.)   Any other Emmaus Adults who would be interested in working on a Team
4.)   Finally, we will need Caterpillars (Pilgrims). Please start looking for youth, and communicate this opportunity to your Youth Pastors.

If you have any questions I hope that I can answer them. Please e-mail me at the above e-mail address, or you can try to call me at (972) 723-5060. E-mail works best.

De Colores,
Rob Hopkins
