Wisconsin Good Sam Club 
Words from the Director

Welcome to our Website. You will find lots of information about the twenty-two (22) Chapters that make up the WI Good Sam Organization. Joining a Chapter is a good way of meeting people who enjoy camping, traveling, or just having fun with people that enjoy your interests. Chapters are not only enjoyable, but they get involved in the community doing fund raisers and participating in local events. The monies raised at fund raisers are often donated locally or to Dogs For the Deaf (DFD), Wisconsin Academy of Graduate Service Dogs (WAGS) which is a Wisconsin group that trains and places service dogs in homes for the physically challenged, the Association of Hole in the Wall Youth Camps and Ronald McDonald House.

On our Website, you will find a roster of all the Chapters in the State along with a list of the State Staff. Please feel free to contact any one of them for information regarding their Chapter and where they are meeting next. They all travel, so if you don’t see one listed in your town still give one of them a call. I’m sure several of them cross your path each month. If you are interested in starting a chapter in your home town please call any of the Assistant State Directors or myself and we would be glad to help you get one started. 

I would like to, at this time, invite you to our annual Wisconsin State Samboree. The next one will be held on June 14–17, 2012 at the Polk County Fairgrounds in St. Croix Falls, WI. Early Bird will be June 12 & 13. The theme of the 2012 Samboree is "Cruising Down the River". We have nightly entertainment and during the day we have seminars, games. crafts and of course a hospitality area with coffee and cookies. Please see the pre-registration form on the Home page of this Website for details. There is something going on all the time. We also have a Youth Program which plans special activities for the youth attending our Samboree. We also have four district camp outs a year. We call them Jumbos. They are hosted by the Assistant Directors and are just a large campout, a good way for the chapters to inter-mix with each other and a newcomer to get acquainted. A complete schedule of State events can be found on the WI State Samboree and Jumbos page. Come join us. 

I’m hoping that this Website has given you a little insight as to the camaraderie that comes from belonging to a chapter. Please come and join us either at a Samboree, Jumbo or at a Chapter meeting. 

I look forward to meeting and talking with each of you at the Samboree, one of the Rallies or somewhere camping on the road. 

Do not hesitate to call, write or e-mail me with questions or suggestions. My cell phone is 920-901-6912, my e-mail is  wayne.schuette@gmail.com and our address is 5212 CYH X; Cleveland, WI 53015-1320.

Have fun camping this season and "Think Wisconsin Samboree".
