Penguin Swim: The RR44 Penguin Swim Team is registered and looking for more Team members! If you are interested in joining the team, give me a call. If you have not done the swim before, it is a lot of fun, we have a hospitality suite for changing, relaxing and having a few drinks, you get to jump in the ocean on New Year Day which few people get to do, and then get in a heated pool to warm up. You only have to get your feet wet to officially do the swim. The goal is to raise money by asking friends, family and associates to donate to Atlantic General Hospital by way of the Penguin Swim. The Penguin Swim Website is up so please register for the swim at www.aghpenguinswim.org and please let me know if you run into ANY problems or have ANY questions about the process. You should receive an email confirmation after registering so please let me know that you’ve received it. Please bring a donation of a bottle of liquor, wine, or beer for the raffle Basket of Cheer we are holding at the Christmas Party. There will be a meeting of the Penguin Swim Team and anyone interested in joining at 7pm before the regular meeting. THANK YOU! Gary 443-618-9972.
From the Prez:
- Bull Roast tix open to all members and public and that we are only selling 200. We have an advertisement that will be in Friday’s Dispatch. Show your friends, show your family! We are also looking for things we can use for door prizes. And does anyone know a good oyster shucker? We can’t get hold of James who we’ve used in the past. Thanks.
- Tailgate at Turtle for this Sunday's JETS game. I ironed out some of the food complaints like limited wings, now will be unlimited, sliders will be put on buns and hot dog rolls will not be put on sterno trays. Let Donna know ASAP by email, text or phone call 410-627-7697. I will be on bus trip 10/19 thru 10/21, just leave a message.
- Please look around your house for anything you can donate for door prizes for Bull roast. We still have lots of tickets. Consider donating $40 if you can't attend. This is our main fund raiser and we have given out a lot of money this year. We can't give out if we don't make a profit on this. So far ticket sales to members are far below what we've sold to outsiders and that's pretty sad. Thanks to those of you who are unable to come but still bought tickets. It's extremely appreciated. Thanks to all who signed up to help with money wheels. Still need help with setting up and clean up. There are no assigned seats but you can hold chairs for other people sitting with you until 2:30.
- We will be changing our November meeting to 11/3 due to home game on our regular meeting night on 11/10.
Tailgate @ Brandywine - As I mentioned at the Aug. meeting, "Brandywine Senior Living at Fenwick Island" has invited RR44 to enjoy a tailgate party with the residents. The game we are looking at is Oct. 23^rd vs The Jets. Please let me know if you would be interested in attending this event. Gary, 443-618-9972.
Entertainment Committee:

All members are welcome to join the committee! We need more participation from all members.

Funny Poop

A biker stopped by the local Harley Shop to have his bike repaired. They couldn't do the work while he waited, and so, since he didn't live far from the shop, he decided to walk home.

On the way home he stopped at the hardware store and bought a bucket and an anvil. He stopped at the feed store / livestock dealer and picked up a couple of chickens and a goose. However, he had a problem...How to carry his entire purchases home?

The feed store owner said, "Why don't you put the anvil in the bucket, carry the bucket in one hand, put a chicken under each arm and carry the goose in your other hand?" "Hey, thanks!" said the biker, and out the door he went.

In the parking lot he was approached by a little old lady who told him she was lost, and asked if he could tell her the way to 1603 Mockingbird Lane.

The biker said, as a matter of fact, I live at 1616 Mockingbird Lane." We can take a short cut down this alley and be there in no time".

The little old lady looked him over cautiously, and then said, "I am a lonely widow without a husband to defend me. How do I know that when we get in the alley you won't hold me up against the wall, pull up my skirt, and ravish me?"

The biker said, "Holy smokes lady! I'm carrying a bucket, an anvil, two chickens, and a goose. How in Hell could I possibly hold you up against a wall and do that?"

The lady said, "Set the goose down, cover him with the bucket, put the anvil on top of the bucket, and I'll hold the chickens."

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.
