A very special THANK YOU to MN GOOD SAM STATE STAFF

for all your time and energy.
Minnesota Past State Director
Luther (LUKE) & Pam Johnson

Jo and I would like to welcome our new State Director Ray Poncelet and his wife Gloria. We wish them the best in the future of their new venture. We ourselves will be parting our state staff appointments under the last two state directors. It has been a great experience and we wouldn't trade it for anything. We have met a lot of great people and had a good time. We hope that the new state staff will experience the same thing as we did and have a good time with their new positions. Thank you for the support and help that everyone has given us over the years.
Past State Staff,
Al & Jo Lawrence

Farewell from the former Assistant Wagon Master

Wow! Where has the time gone? It's been a fun four years as Assistant Wagon Master. I've met so many great people in that time. I may not remember all of your names, but I do know faces. It has been great working with Luke, Pam and the state staff, you are all good friends. I want to thank everybody for helping me out when I needed it. I want to thank Bob Miller, from South Dakota, for all his help in parking. And last, but certainly not least, I'd like to thank Tom Carpenter for his guidance and his vast knowledge in setting up and implementing the parking plan. It made my job real easy. You are truly a great friend, on and off the job!
Good luck to Ray and Gloria and all of the new staff. I hope to see everyone at the Samborees!
Tom O'Neil
Ps: Joe, we still need greeters at the front gate!

THE FALL 2009 GOLF TOURNAMENT
At Radina Golf course course

We had 44 golfers that signed up and played, our largest turnout so far. Fortunately we had a 9:30 start, because by 12:00 it was getting HOT. Once again we were blessed with a gorgeous day without any rain. Thanks to everyone who came out and see you in New UIm.
