NEWS FROM THE DIRECTOR:
Hello Everyone!
Spring is just around
the corner and time for our Spring Samboree. Mardi Gras is our theme. We
hope you are making plans to attend, after all this is your Samboree. We
encourage each chapter to bring as many members as possible and in doing so
we will reward the chapter with the biggest percentage of its membership in
attendance with an Ice Cream Sundae party served by the State Director
himself.
Get your feathers and
glitter out and participate in our Mardi Gras mask competition to be held on
Friday. On Thursday evening we will be crowning our Mardi Gras King and
Queen, who will receive special royal treatment all day Friday.
New for this Samboree is
a Wheelchair race, Poker walk, Red hat tea, and Military Wall of Honor.
Back for your enjoyment is Team Trivia, Samgo, Floor and Table games, Pickin
& Grinnin, Cake walk, Gagfest, Military Hat Day, Chinese Auction and the
Soup/Chili Cook off.
We have some great
entertainment lined up with our own Betty Caron on Wednesday night.
Thursday night will be a Gospel group from Middle Georgia ,the Common
Garments Quartet. Friday in keeping with our theme is Music City Brass and
on Saturday night a young lady, Crystal Gage with a great voice and
interactive entertainment. We’re pretty sure you will enjoy all of them.
If you haven’t sent in
your application, you might want to do so as we have had a couple of RV
groups call about bringing in at least 25 rigs, we have also sent out over
700 letters inviting new people to the Samboree, that said we only have 360
full hook ups and an additional 600 without sewer. We feel sure we will
reach our goal of over 400 rigs this spring.
We are now accepting
your military pictures for the Wall of Honor, you can email or snail mail
them to us with your name, rank ,years of service and special services
listed. We will also be collecting items for the VA hospital in Dublin
again at the Samboree.
Looking forward to
seeing each and every one of you at the Georgia Spring Samboree!
Harold & Vicki Smith
State Director
