We appreciate your vote of confidence. A special thank you to past Directors Luke and Pam and former State Staff for their time and work to put on a SamboreeŽ! Our new staff is ready and willing. We will try to tweak some schedules, to hopefully make it easier to get to the next event. We have a lot going on. Some things going on are bocce ball, bean bag games, cards, Samgo, and the golf tournament. More people are going golfmg every Samboree so you'll need to call ahead for this. We will have tours, vendors, seminars, games and a Saturday night banquet. Red Johnson has some great evening entertainment lined up. He also does jam sessions during the day. The musicians really worked hard at Alexandria when it was too hot to even sit in the audience! Where else can you get such a deal for the price?! First timers are more than welcome! I would like to challenge each chapter to bring in one first timer to a Samboree. Early bird parking starts Monday noon, early bird entertainment is on Tuesday and Wednesday evening, some games begin Wednesday. We will try to have electric for everyone but please be prepared. (Remember when we all dry camped?) The spring theme is "German Festival".

Ray and Gloria Poncelet,
Minnesota State Directors
