| 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. I then post a printed copy at the Samboree and the list is read at Church Services. |
| 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. |
| Want to get familiar with your officers? Thumbnail pictures will now be by their names. Click on the picture for a larger view. All will be posted within the next couple of months. |
| THERE IS A CHANGE IN THE RIG/SITE CONTEST FOR 2009 IN THAT WE WILL HAVE TWO CATEGORIES. THE FIRST CATEGORY WILL BE RIG -- THAT IS, AN INDIVIDUAL RIG WILL BE JUDGED ON WHAT IS IN AND/OR AROUND THAT RIG ON AN INDIVIDUAL SITE. THE SECOND CATEGORY WILL BE CHAPTER SITE -- THAT IS, SEVERAL RIGS/SITES FROM ONE CHAPTER WILL BE JUDGED AS A GROUP THE SAME AS WE HAVE BEEN DOING. |

Dunnellon. They are 2/17/10 – 2/21/10, EB 2/16.
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
45 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.
And Last, but not least, I would also like to express my deep sorrow for the
lost of our webmaster, Betty Babson, who I was privileged to work with for
a such a short time. As you will probably note there has been some changes
made to the website and there probably will be other changes made shortly.
This in no way reflects on the marvelous job that Betty had done during her
time.

STATE COMMITTEE MEETING.
WEBMASTER REPORT – NOVEMBER 2009
As you all know we lost our webmaster, our beloved Betty Babson. She was
loved by all Good Sammers and will be greatly missed by the State Staff as
well as all of you. My name is Jill Campbell, and I was appointed by State
Director, Bob Ward, to be the new webmaster. As I know that I cannot fill her
shoes I will strive to do my very best to continue with the website in a way to
make her proud of the baby she created. As you know Betty was a teacher and
therefore was very particular about the grammar and spelling in all things that was
posted to the website. So she wanted the newsletters sent to her, either email or
snail mail, and she would pull a paragraph or two out of those newsletters to post
in the news of chapters page. She enjoyed doing that and I applaud her for that.
I said all that to say this, I am not a stickler for grammar or spelling. If I see a
misspelled word then I will correct it. Even though I enjoy reading the
newsletters, it is an extra expense with time and money to send those to me. All
I need is a paragraph or two for each month pulled out of your newsletter that
you would like other good sammers to read about what your chapter is doing or
has done. This will then be posted to the website under news of the chapters.
To save extra postage for you, you may email those news items to me at
webmaster@goodsams-florida.org . Or if you wish you can mail them to me at
my home address of P. O. Box 1863, Dade City, Fl 33526.
The entire newsletter still needs to be sent to Bob Ward, State Director.
I know a lot of chapters will be having elections this year and changing officers.
Please send me the new President’s name and email address, so I can correct
the website. I also know some of the chapters are changing website addresses
so please send me those corrections as well. Any changed phone numbers,
email addresses or website addresses can be sent to me at
webmaster@goodsams-florida.org .
You will notice that I have added a new page to the website for the State
Committee Meeting which includes the agendas and letter to the presidents.
Also the current minutes of each committee meeting will be posted as well as
achieved ones starting with the meeting in Okeechobee forward. The minutes
of the Committee Meetings will be posted after each meeting when Mary has
the time to write them and email them to me.
If you have any questions about what can be posted to the website, you can
direct your questions to me. In order to add anything new it will need to be
pre-approved by the State Director
Other changes will possibility be made but this does not in any way reflect on
anything Betty has done. She was a great webmaster.
I will strive to do my very best with this new responsibility and appreciate all of
your encouragement and cooperation. Thank you to those that have sent me
encouraging emails. I really appreciated that.
Thank you.
