Hello Everyone

We were all looking forward to our samborees in 2008. We hope
everyone that attended enjoyed them. We had quite a few 1
st tim-
ers at both samborees. I think this is great-we need new people
getting involved to keep us growing and getting new ideas. Now
its time to think about our 2009 Samborees. Red Johnson has
some great entertainment lined up. Check out the entertainment in
Red's article. Tom Gilbertson is already working on tours. Re-
member we will also have a golf tournament, seminars, and ven-
dors and of course all the games.
Thanks to all of you for coming to our samborees and your contin-
ued support of MINNESOTA GOOD SAM.
the We would like to thank all our vendors, host people, state staff
and everyone that volunteered to help with the Samboree's.
Please wear your chapter shirts, vest, name badges, etc. GOOD
SAM is about camping and having fun. Remember KEEP IT
SIMPLE
& KEEP IT FUN.
Remember to check out our web page
www.mngoodsamclub.com
there is a lot of information that can be found there. Samboree
dates and locations, registration forms, list of chapters, chapter
presidents, list of all the state staff, and more.

We have seen a lot of changes; gas prices went higher than I
thought we would ever see. Now gas prices are starting to drop. I
hope this will help us keep on camping and traveling our great
country. There is another change coming, 2009 is our election
year for state director. I will not be running for re-election, Pam
and I have enjoyed working on staff with Pollock and Jerry for 2
years, I have loved being your state director, 2009 will be 6 years,
time flew by it seems like last year was my first. We made a lot
changes and improvements that I think will help the next state
director.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone in 2009.

A very special THANK YOU to MN GOOD SAM STATE
STAFF
for all your time and energy.
