Convention:
All money for
Convention must be turned in to Donna at April 10th meeting along with
application. You can get application on last
month’s Ravens Caw. No exceptions as I
need to have Sandy write check for all applications to go to Councils April
meeting. If you decide to go after our
deadline, you must contact Council and arrange your own application acceptance
with your $80 fee. Sign up sheets will
still be available at the April meeting, but they must be turned in at the
April Council meeting.
Parade:
Ok
Conventioneers, we’re gearing up for our next parade, the Council of Ravens
Roosts Convention parade. While you can
participate in the parade, 75% of the participants must be signed up for the
convention. So the easy thing would be
to sign up for the convention, then, no worries! The parade is going to be epic!

Funny Poop
A farmer and his wife were lying in
bed one evening; she was knitting, he was reading the latest issue of Animal
Husbandry. He looks up from the page and
says to her, "Did you know that humans are the only species in which the
female achieves orgasm?"
She looks at him wistfully, smiles, and replies, "Oh
yeah? Why don't you prove it."
He frowns for a moment, then says, "Okay."
He then gets up and walks out, leaving his wife with a
confused look on her face.
About a half an hour later, he returns all tired and sweaty
and proclaims, "Well I'm sure the cow and sheep didn't, but the way that
pig's always squealing, how can you tell?"
