History
The Mid Nebraska Sams chapter of the Good Sam Club was organized November 18th, 1978 at Holdrege and Kearney, Nebraska.
The officers at that time were:
President: Wayne & Betty Jones Vice-President: Jim & Margaret Davis
Secretary/Treasurer: Delbert Moore Wagon Master: Frank Allender
There were 25 rigs.
In 1980, Grant & Irene Hazlett joined the chapter. In 1988 Vaun & Doris Junkin joined. At the 20th anniversary there were nine rigs in the chapter and at that meeting all the members were present. At this writing, Grant & Irene Hazlett, Doris Junkin, and Bernice Frauen are the oldest standing Honorary
members.
At writing of this moment of History (1993) the following were offiers and members in good standing in the Mid Nebraska Sams :
President: Grant & Irene Hazlett, Vice-President: Mary (Bill) Heusman, Treasurer: Phillip (Abba) Oyler, Secretary: Deloris Bray, Wagon Master: Floyd Bray. Other Members were: Vaun & Doris Junkin, Vern & Bernice Frauen, Bernard & Helen Spradlin, Glen & Betty Magnason, Phillip & Jolly Gitchel.
We have come a long way since that first meeting and our Charter. In November of 2011, we will celebrate our 33rd year as a Chapter in the state of Nebraska. We are now 12 full member rigs and hoping to grow even bigger in the coming years. As of this writing (September 2011) the following will be our new roster and membership for the 2012 term:
President: Barbara (Clay) Milner, Vice-President: Leola Stone, Secretary/Treasurer: Virginia Britton

We are looking for a new and better season. Hats off to all our members, both past and present that have brought us to where we are today.
