EDINBURG, Texas — The Museum of South Texas History will host the first Sunday Speaker Series, “A Brief History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Rio Grande Valley,” of the year at 2 p.m. Jan. 12.
This presentation will be led by Jenny Chamberlain, the interfaith coordinator at the McAllen, Texas Temple, part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Chamberlain moved to the Valley in 2006 to teach 7th grade English at Sauceda Middle School in Donna. Soon thereafter, she began teaching sociology at South Texas College, where she designed the applied and clinical sociology associate’s degree track and became the program coordinator. Currently, Chamberlain serves as the vice president-elect for Applied and Clinical Sociology, an organization dedicated to using sociological skills and knowledge to develop practical solutions to problems in the world around us.

This named endowment was created at the museum by her family to honor her memory and to continue her commitment to providing opportunities for education to the community.
