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; home made 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 years 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 man asked an old rich man how he made his money. The old guy fingered his worsted wool vest and said "Well, son, it was 1932. The depth of the Great Depression. I was down to my last nickel. "I invested that nickel in an apple. I spent the entire day polishing the apple and, at the end of the day, I sold the apple for ten cents!" The next morning, I invested those ten cents in two apples. I spent the entire day polishing them and sold them at 5:00 pm for 20 cents. I continued this system for a month, by the end of which I'd accumulated a fortune of $1.37".
"And that's how you built an empire?" the boy asked.
"Heavens, no!" the man replied. "Then my wife's father died and left us two million dollars".
- In a small town, a man just opened a small store selling trumpets and guns. One day his neighbor pays him a visit and says "So how is your strange business going?"
"What do you mean strange?"
"Because you sell only trumpets and guns!"
"So?"
"Well, let me put it this way, what do you sell the most, trumpets or guns?"
"It evens itself out. Each time a customer buys a trumpet, one of his neighbors buys a gun".
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
