Are you aware that we have a MEMORIAM page on the website?  If
someone in the chapter will send me name and date, it will be posted.  I
often pick up info from newsletters but feel that I am missing some.  The
memorial service for our deceased members is always at the November
Samboree and is a beautiful service.    
News of various chapters is published approximately every two months.  I
need to get news from your chapters via e-mail if you can do so (no later
than the 25th of the even-numbered month).  If your info comes in after I
have published it to the web, it must wait until the next publication.  
Remember that "old news is no news" so keep your info current. Chapter
news is on the page titled News Chapters/Samborees.

If you have a chapter website, I can do a link to it.  That news then will  be
very current.  Links to chapter websites are reached by clicking on the
chapter name on the Chapter Presidents page.  If you need assistance in
setting up a webpage please contact me.
First, I would like to introduce myself.  I am Jill B. Campbell and I have
lived in Dade City, Fl, all my life.  My husband, Max, and I have enjoyed
46 plus years together.  We were appointed as ASD's by State Director
Bob Ward in 2009, and have had a lot of fun: camping; at the Samborees;
with our chapters;  and the rest of state staff.
Second, I would like to express my thanks to State Director Bob Ward
for having the confidence in me to appoint me to fill the position of
webmaster.  I will strive to maintain this website in a way that will be
satisfactory to him, and appealing to all Good Sams of Florida members.  
I will strive to always keep the website up to date with all current activities,
photos, and current events.   As well as news of the chapters as furnished
by the chapters.
It will soon be time for the Fall Samboree and we are looking forward to
checking out the new location in Eustis.  We are told it is a really nice
campground and plenty of room for camping and games.  The registration
forms are on the website, so get your forms in early.  Remember the Theme
for this Samboree will be Thanksgiving.    Looking forward to seeing all of you
there.  Drive Safe, have a great Summer,  and Keep Smiling.

The last Samboree was in Okeechobee and as always the theme was "Mad
Hatters" and we had a lot of participation.  Joan is doing a great job with this
event and we just love her jokes.  Everyone had a great time except for the
major cleaning of their rigs to get rid of "lovebugs".  The rigs came in black
but everyone was diligent in making sure they got washed as soon as they
parked.  The chapter entertainment was really good with lots of talent, and the
chapter had a great time putting on the show.    We were thrilled to have two
of the dogs from the Florida Guide Dogs visit us and all enjoyed getting to
know them.  

If you have elected new officers, changed phone numbers, or changed or
created a new webpage, please send me all the pertinent information, so that I
can made the changes on the website.  Thank you for all your information that
you have furnished and keep up the good work.  Remember on the
newsletters to send me a paragraph or two for each month to be posted on the
Chapter News page.  We are all interested to see what our sister chapters are
doing.  

At the upper right-hand corner of my webpage is a link to OpenOffice, which is
a free download for a wordprocessing software.  Just click on the link and
click on download, and you will have the software that Reba Ward uses a lot
for processing Samboree programs, and other information.

Thanks.
