There are a group of us in the Canton, Ohio area that are working on forming a new FCM chapter. We meet the second Tuesday of each month at the North Canton Church of Christ at 1301 E. Maple St. North Canton, OH 44720. We meet at 19:00 (7PM). Currently there are about 15 of us. We would love to have anyone in the area that is interested to come and join us. For additional information you can contact me at johnmayer@mmpmagic.com. We look forward to meet you.

I wish we could restart a FCM Chapter in SW Michigan. The one in Grand Rapids I understand may have folded- would sure love to have one in the Kalamazoo area...

We have met our requirements for forming a chapter and have submitted information to the FCM for approval. With God's blessing, we should be an official chapter before too long. Hope to see some of you soon. ~John

You have at least 4 people in Kalamazoo that are members of the FCM. I'm sure there are others near there of the 74 listed members. Call them for coffee once a month maybe one or two will being a friend that would join. I think if you have five FCM members you can have you own chapter. Chris

Wow- I was amazed to see the list- there are a bunch of brand new folks added in our area that I have not have the pleasure of meeting. Thanks for letting me know- I will think about sending out an email or something to them and seeing if we can make this a "go".

I will send out an "inquiry letter" to everyone in SW Michigan this week to see if there is any interest... we shall see! Thanks again for the tip, a good increase lately in FCM membership in SW Michigan. By the way, if you are in the Ann Arbor area, stop by in the new Ann Arbor Magic store below the "Afternoon Delight" Restaurant right downtown (Liberty and 5th I believe)- they have a nice supply of vintage Andre' Kole posters for sale (as well as many other used books and original collected magic posters along with new magic). I bought the really cool Andre' Kole poster (I have no idea from what year- I had never seen one like this before) that is like a large painted cartoon character- Andre is by the earth in while standing in the hand of God. Kinda hard to explain it- but it is really neat. I'll have to get his autograph on it the next time he is at the Marion FCM convention (and my understanding is Andre' is going to be begged/invited back again as soon as he can get there).

May God bless you and your ministry.
I am blessed with an active FCM chapter in near by Shawnee, Ks. During August we have a weekend Training Conference. Through the year it is a great place to fellowship, learn and share. Be safe, well and creative... love brother Harris

I am very happy to report I received a number of very positive responses. Soooo, we will be having our first organizational meeting (with the intention of later forming a KaZoo FCM Chapter) on Saturday, January 14, 2012, at 10AM at Lighthouse Community Church, 4321 S. 11th Street, Kalamazoo, Michigan 49009 http://www.DiscoverLighthouseChurch.com We are initially planning to meet the second Saturday at 10AM of every odd numbered month (January, March, May, July, September, November)at 10AM at Lighthouse, although we may change the venue from time to time for filming of the "Magic With A Message" cable acces program (see http://www.ChristianMagician.org) or we if decide to be a part local outreach events. Email Roger Bus at RBusPs67@aol.com if you have any further questions. You are all welcome to join- see you on January 14 in Kalamazoo!

We are officially an FCM chapter now. God has blessed us with some great leaders and the club is already starting to grow! We have even been talking about having a local magic convention that is dedicated to Gospel magic. Please keep us in your prayers.

We'll be ready to rocknroll in January, 2012. See above. We may not be "chartered" at the July 2012 FCM convention as we intend to meet every other month (I think the new group has to meet a minimum of six times to be "official") so we should be fully up to FCM Chapter status by July, 2013.
