One of the things I have enjoyed about the district system is the sense of community and personal connections resulting from having more events. Having mentioned this to others this season, it seems like this is a somewhat common feeling.
At the MAR DCMP this weekend I asked Mr. O'Brien about the creation of a MAR Alumni network. He said it was something they had thought about, but nothing official has happened yet. In the meantime, since I didn't see anything like this already, we decided to create a MAR Student/Alumni group on Facebook. Here's the link:

All students on MAR teams, past or present, are welcome and invited to join. Started last night, we're already up to 81 members!
