  • 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.
  • Bull & Oyster Roast - Bull and Oyster Roast was a great success. 175 attendees raised almost $3,000.00 for Roost charities. Great thanks to all the members who donated door prizes and members who donated money for tickets even though they couldn't attend. And of course a great thanks to all members who volunteered in a variety of ways to make the function a success especially Tony and Donna who oversaw the WHOLE event and made sure ALL the necessary details were taken care of. Mike Donnelly the master beef and sausage chef and his assistant Russell Colley. Ron Apperson the master of ceremonies for the door prizes. And Marian, Larry and Marie for contributing in many ways. And thanks to all members who helped run the Money Wheel. Ken Taras who sold the 50/50 tickets. As always, we could always use more volunteers to help put these type of functions together. The band (The Stims) were great and a good time was had by all! Great costumes by Addie Yeager, Lew Welsch and Susan Waterman!

Funny Poop
  • I said to the Doctor "Doc, I can't stop singing the Green Green Grass of Home". He said: "That sounds like Tom Jones syndrome". "Is it common?" I asked. "It's not unusual" he replied.
  • I said to the Gym instructor "Can you teach me to do the splits?'' He said, ''How flexible are you?'' I said, ''I can't make Tuesdays''.

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.
