Good Sam chapters
I received the following from my chapter;
This organization shall be know as the New York State Organization of the Good
Sam Club. The fore mentioned state shall recognize the Good Sam Club’s Constitution
and By-Laws as the ultimate body of rules.
The State will promote the Good Sam Club Pledge as stated here:
“As a member of the Good Sam Club, I pledge to give aid to others in need, respect nature and the environment, give back to the community and those less fortunate, treat others with dignity and respect, and to wear a smile (like Good Sam and Good Samantha’s) and promote the pledge of the Good Sam Club to others.”
The State will establish “Standing Rules” as needed to govern their day-to-day
operations.
I am not sure what you think you are doing but you really need to think this through better, my largest problem with this pledge is this line "give back to the community and those less fortunate"
This is a CAMPING CLUB not a church!
there are plenty of other clubs/groups to give back to the community and those less fortunate.
I joined my local chapter to camp with like minded individuals, it's bad enough to have to work a Samboree after working 40 hours, camping should be relaxing.
perhaps your only concern is retiree's which is fine, just make a club for younger campers, the ones not living on fixed income's.
Being I now have to take this pledge I feel I can no longer be a member of a local chapter.
