Blue Mt. Sams group does spring cleaning at Boardman Marina Park An active group of RVers who are members of the Blue Mountain Sams were in Boardman March 22 and 23 to help clean up Boardman Marina Park. The club “adopted” the Marina Park in 2005, and have shown up for spring cleaning every year since then. The Blue Mt. Sams was founded in 1975, and it was the first Good Sams group to organize on the eastern part of the state. Being a member of an RV group isn’t all about traveling and fun. This energetic group is involved in many volunteer efforts, including saving pull tabs on cans for the cystic fibrosis research, netting over $4,000 just last year. They also
