St. Louis Bishops' Storehouse "Doings"

Hello All!!

In June of 2003 we had 4 ARO’s in the O’Fallon Illinois Stake - today we have 67 with another course scheduled for February - when the purpose of EmComm, to support our bishops and stake presidents, is properly explained to the Saints they will respond and become licensed and participate in EmComm.

Currently we have 270 ARO’s in the 12 stakes of the St. Louis Bishops’ Storehouse with a course of 24 ongoing and another course scheduled for January. For those living "Out West" I should probably mention the St. Louis Storehouse boundaries are from the Northern boundaries of the Nauvoo Illinois Stake North of Mt. Pleasant Iowa to West of Kirksville Missouri South thru the Columbia, St Roberts and Springfield Missouri Stakes to 30 miles East of the Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri borders zig zagging East thru the Cape Girardeau Missouri and Paducah Kentucky Stakes to the Tennessee River just East of Camden Tennessee then North along the Illinois and Indiana borders into Indiana East of Danville Illinois the across the top of the Champaign, Springfield and Nauvoo Illinois Stakes to the Stating point. Inside this box are the St. Louis North, St. Louis, St Louis South and O’Fallon Illinois Stakes - 12 Stakes in all. All in the heart of the New Madrid Fault Line and of course, Tornado Alley.

As we continue to mature we are holding weekly nets and periodic drills & exercises to keep building our EmComm skills. We invite all to join us at 0130Z (8:30 PM CDT) on 3.878 for our weekly HF net.
