MSA bids a sad farewell to our State Directors
Chuck and Sue Carlson and Assistant Director Marianne Samardich as
they Retire from their respective positions. We wish you well
on your much earned retirement
MSA would like to announce that John and Linda English have been appointed our new State Directors
It all started as an
act of kindness,
And became an organization,
Where friends become family,
While traveling around our nation.
Come Camp with all of us
And watch our chapter expand,
As we leave each place better,
Before we used the land.
Share in all our programs,
Helping youth, teens and retirees,
Learn about conservation,
And wildlife amongst the trees.
We make active lifestyle choices,
We tour towns and parks, too,
We visit, eat and play games,
These are the things we do.
We do this to have fun,
And campout wherever we go,
We want strangers to be friends,
More than you’ll ever know!
