- 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
- Two fellows from Alabama were sitting around talking one afternoon.
After a while the first fellow says to the second, "If'n I was to sneak over to your trailer Saturday and make love to your wife while you was off huntin', and she got pregnant and had a baby, would that make us kin?"
The second fellow crooked his head sideways for a minute, scratched his head, and squinted his eyes thinking real hard about the question. Finally, he says, "Well, I don't know about that, but it sure would make us even."
Etcetera

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
