Pine St Lodi, Ca 95240 Dear Mayor, On April 27, 1995, the Northern California Good Sam Association will hold its 1995 Samboree in your city at the Grape Festival Grounds. As a matter of fact, it will be held there for the next three years. The Association is a club made up of 121 RV Chapters throughout Northern California. Our area ranges from King City in the south to the Oregon border. Since this is a yearly event and a time for old friends to gather, we look forward to approximately 800 Recreational Vehicles attending. This three day event consists of commercial displays, seminars, food, entertain- ment and a lot of sightseeing in the local areas. I would like to take this oppurtunity to welcome you and any of your staff to our opening ceremonies on Friday, April 28th at 7:00pm. I plan to publicize this event in your local paper because we open the gates to the public for awhile on Saturday. We will be featuring three local Jazz bands for entertainment and I am trying to get an ROTC unit from a local high school to present the colors on Friday night. I would assume that there is such a unit in your high school. I might solicit your help on this. The Lodi area is a popular one with our membership because of the variety of things to do and places to see. Lodi also provides the atmosphere of a safe haven for the membership and the festival grounds staff is going allout to provide just that forus. We not only leave with fond memories but we also pump a lot into the Lodi economy.I will prove this to you after our event.We have the members turn in their daily receipts and we draw for a prize nightly. Would some of the local merchants be willing to donate some prizes for this occasion. My staff adn I have been working with Mark and Eileen at the Festival Grounds for sometime and we look forward to this event with a lot of anticipation. As the new State Director, this is my first and we want to go all out to make it happen. Any ideas on your behalf would be greatly appreciated. TL ENTERPRISES, INC.
