- This years AGH Penguin Swim is scheduled for Friday Jan 1st 2016. It will again take place at the Princess Royal Hotel. There is one small changes to the format this year. When you register for the event, there is an initial donation of $25 required. That goes toward whatever your total fundraising amount is and automatically qualifies you for a prize (T-shirt) at that level. There will also be a carnival atmosphere with more games and activities to participate in while waiting to "get wet for a good cause".
To join the OC Ravens Roost #44 Penguin Swim Team simple go to "www.aghpenguinswim.org" scroll down to "Become a Penguin" and click on "join a team". Under Penguin Search click on "Team Name" and enter "OC Ravens Roost" then click "search". Click on the team name again and then click on "Join Team". Enter the required information and you will be registered! If you have any problems, let me know. Maggie and I are going to have another Penguin Swim Team happy hour at our house in the next couple weeks to talk about fundraising and help team members get registered. I will announce the date at our next Roost meeting.
I have already reserved a room on the pool floor that will be used as our hospitality suit and changing/drinking room as we have done in the past. Our Fundraising goal this year is $8,000 but we raised almost $10,000 last year and it would be nice to repeat that amount. If you have ideas or suggestions for our group fundraising please let me know. The Booze Cruise raised $1,000 and we are planning a "Chinese Auction" for the Roost Christmas Party. We may also do a beer or wine tasting or pub crawl. We need donations for the auction and are looking for anything that Roost members may like such as: gift certificates from local business's/Restaurants; bottles of wine, beer, liquor; artwork; memorabilia; homemade items; crafts; etc. Please let me know what items you are able to get or donate for the auction so I can make a running list.
For your personal fundraising, talk with family, friends, business associates, in-laws and out-laws, and POST ON FACEBOOK.
A highlight of this year’s RR44 Team participation will be at least one team member who has agreed (after several drinks and on a dare) to wear a speedo for this event!! The person who made the dare agreed to participate in the swim (or make a substantial donation) on the condition that the speedo is worn. If anyone else would like to make similar arrangements/bets we should be able to reach our goal.
Please let me know when you have registered.

Funny Poop
- A young mother finds out she is pregnant again, and she tells the good news to anyone who will listen. One day when the woman and the boy are out shopping, a friend of the mother asks the little boy if he was excited about the new baby.
"Oh, yes!" the little tyke says. And having overheard some of his parents' private conversations, he adds, "And I know what we are going to name it, too. If it's a girl we're going to call it Mary, and if it's another boy we're going to call it Quits."
- Bill and Marla decided that the only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon quickie with their ten-year-old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony and tell him to report on all the neighborhood activities.
The boy began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation. "There's a car being towed from the parking lot," he said. "An ambulance just drove by." A few moments passed.
"Looks like the Andersons have company," he called out. "Matt's riding a new bike, and the Coopers are having sex."
Mom and Dad shot up in bed. "How do you know that?" the startled father asked.
"Their kid is standing out on the balcony too," his son replied.

Baltimore Ravens, let’s go
And put that ball across the line
So fly with talons spread wide
Go in and strike with Ravens pride
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Ravens dark wings take flight
Dive in and show them your might
For Baltimore and Maryland
You will fly on to victory
