Chapter History

In February 1997 in Lewisville, Texas two provisional charter groups based in Denton and
Lewisville, Texas first met. The group of 18 mothers agreed to merge as one provisional group.
The group collectively represented the communities of Denton, Highland Village, Lake Dallas,
Lewisville, Corinth and Coppell. From the very beginning, a warm spirit of cooperation existed
between the mothers as they agreed to share meeting sites within the communities. The mothers
adopted a theme for their provisional group, “It takes a Village.”

The North Texas Chapter was voted into Chapter status at the 33 National Convention in July
1998. The chapter was installed on October 24,1998. National Vice President of Jack and Jill of
America, Sylvia McGee and South Central Regional Director, Patricia A. Ingram presided over
the ceremony. The North Suburban Chapters served as the sponsor to the North Texas Chapter.

Remaining true to the traditions of Texas, the mothers named their children’s groups: SPURS
