Roost #44 Poop

Dates to Remember:
- Thursday, 1/19 – Ravens Roost #44 Monthly meeting, 7:30 pm, upstairs at the Original Greene Turtle. This meeting is moved to the third Thursday due to the large group of members that will be out of town for the regularly scheduled day.
From the Prez: I need someone to go to Council meeting in Baltimore ~~this~~ ~~Friday, Dec 16, 7:30~~ ~~in Catonsville at Knights of Columbus. Roost pays mileage for the trip. Also need someone to fill in~~ for January meeting, I'll be on vacation. Text or call 410 627 7697. Thanks, Donna.
Road Trip 2017 – Everyone: Here are the links to reserve your spot on the OC Ravens Roost 44 Road Trip to London! Please click on each of the links to read what is included (additional 3 nights in Paris is now available and details are included in that link) before making your decision. Once you have decided, you can place your deposit. Remember to consider the Travel Insurance option as the deposit is non-refundable. If you want to customize any part of the trip, please contact Jacob Sudek directly. His phone number and email address are included in the links and at the bottom of this page. The prices as shown are good until Jan 31^st so you need to pay the deposit by then to lock in the current price. Keep in mind that once the NFL puts out the schedule, prices, especially for air, will probably go up. The other thing to consider is that you are locking in the current exchange rate for the US dollar which could change, making the price go higher. I will be on the Roost Cruise till 1/16 but will try to answer emails on a daily basis. Thanks, Gary.

- Please remember that reserving airfare through Fandeavor now guarantees a seat regardless of which weekend the game is selected for. Locking in the price now will likely save the group money, because by the time the schedule is announced, it'll likely be more expensive as it's closer to the travel date and planes will be fuller.

Funny Poop

Little Johnny wanted to go to the zoo and pestered his parents for days. Finally his mother talked his reluctant father into taking him.

"So how was it?" his mother asked when they returned home.

"Great," Little Johnny replied.

"Did you and your father have a good time?" asked his mother.

"Yeah, Daddy especially liked it," exclaimed Little Johnny excitedly, especially when one of the animals came home at 30 to 1!"

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.
