THE SCI WEBMASTERS CHALLENGE
In January 2009, I issued a challenge to the SCI chapters asking each chapter to submit an article for the SCI web site's monthly Featured Stein. I have since amended the challenge to get articles from different contributors.

Here are the results for the first two complete years:

14 chapters contributing
18 different persons contributing

There were six months where the challenge was not met, but the good news is that someone always came forward with an article and I did not have to write one. There are still more chapters and many more collectors out there with beautiful and interesting steins that we would like to hear from. The articles do not have to be literary masterpieces. All that is required is a nice picture or two and a paragraph or two describing the stein, and its history and background. Please email me with questions or articles at sci@steincollectors.org.
