GUIDELINES FOR CHAPTER OF THE YEAR
Chapter of the Year form must be handed in to your ASD by October 15th.
The ASD must give the Chapter of the Year form to the state director by November 1st.
The Chapter of the Year form must be neat and legible.
Pictures may be used, but you won’t get them back.
Your chapter of the year form may include things your chapter has done from the last quarter of the prior year and the first three quarters of the current year.
You may attach as many sheets to the form as is necessary to explain what your chapter has done for the year.
International Good Sams likes to see what you have done in the community. For example: Ronald McDonald House, the needy, Special Olympics, etc.
When you work on a project, International Good Sam wants to know how many people worked on this project, how much time did it take/ how many man hours, what was the outcome? If you raise money for a project, put that down also. International Good Sams expects you to do the Good Sam Clean Up Day and they expect you to do the Dogs for the Deaf.
Does your chapter attend, support, and volunteer at the State Samborees? If so, how many do you attend? How many members of your chapter attend the Samborees? This is important on the state level.
