- From the Prez: This from last Friday's Council meeting from Sue Draper (these are not Ravens Roost #44 functions): At Friday night’s Council meeting we discussed two upcoming events for the Council.
- 1. The Jets vs Ravens game at Met Life Stadium on October 23. Jim is trying to get an approximate count of how many Roost members would be interested in taking a day bus trip up to the game. Game tickets would be approximately $70 and we would be seated together. We are currently getting prices for buses. PLEASE SURVEY YOUR MEMBERS ASAP AND SEE HOW MANY ARE INTERESTED so we can give the Jets an approximate count. Reply to this email or contact Jim at byteme0904@msn.com by Wednesday, June 22. I know this is short notice but they want to set our tickets aside before they go on sale to the general public.
- 2. The Dip Bowl has been rescheduled for Saturday, September 24 at the Horseshoe Casino in downtown Baltimore. The categories will be hot and cold dips. Proceeds will go to the Brigance Brigade Foundation.

Poop
Music
- Poop Music has been discontinued. It's just too much work and I don't have the time. If someone would like to compile it and email it to me on Tuesday so I can cut and paste it, that'd be awesome, but I just don't have the time to put it together every week. Sorry.
Funny
Poop
- While on a road trip, an elderly couple stopped at a roadside restaurant for lunch. After finishing their meal, they left the restaurant and resumed their trip. When leaving, the elderly woman unknowingly left her glasses on the table. And, she didn't miss them until after they had been driving about twenty minutes. By then, to add to the aggravation, they had to travel quite a distance before they could find a place to turn around in order to return to the restaurant to retrieve her glasses.All the way back, the elderly husband became the classic grouchy old man. He fussed and complained and scolded his wife relentlessly during the entire return drive. The more he chided her, the more agitated he became. He just wouldn't let up one minute.To her relief, they finally arrived at the restaurant. And as the woman got out of the car and hurried inside to retrieve her glasses, the old geezer yelled to her, "While you're in there, you might as well get my hat".
Etcetera
- Got poop? Let me know! I’m going to try to get this out every Wednesday so if you get it to me by Tuesday I’ll try to include it. Your input is appreciated.
