From the Prez
– The next Roost Meeting is at our regular meeting spot at OC 360 in the
Fenwick Inn on April 12th at 7:30pm. At
the meeting we will have Sign Up sheets for the Beer Truck at Springfest, the
Convention, the Parade, and the Shorebirds Game on July 19th. Please contact me if you have any interest or
questions if you can't attend the meeting and we will we have the right person
get back to you.
Remember that your Roost Membership card entitles you to a 20% discount
on food, beverage & apparel purchases at the Original Greene Turtle (116th
St.). We encourage all Roost members and
committees to patronize the Original Greene Turtle!
Remember that we collect plastic grocery bags at every Roost
meeting. These bags are used by Diakonia
(Local Food Bank & Homeless Shelter) to distribute food contributions to
the needy. My white Ford pickup truck is
parked in front of OC 360 at every Roost meeting. Simply put your plastic bags (tied up
tightly) in the bed of the truck. This
is a great way to recycle plastic bags for a good cause.

Convention
Parade: Just wanted to share with everyone, that we
found out today we will be able to get a Boardwalk Tram for the convention
parade. I would think that with the Tram
we will have many more members sign up to participate for the parade. I will have a signup sheet at the next
membership meeting. Along with your name
I will need your shirt size so we can order shirts for the parade. I will need a final count of everyone
participating by the end of the meeting, so if you are sure you can participate
please contact me right away so I can put your name on the list.
Should you have
any questions please feel free to contact me at my email address or cellphone
below. Looking forward to an
overwhelming response for the parade.
Keep inn mind, per the Council’s rules, 75% of the marchers need to be
registered for the convention. So, for
example, in order to have 20 people march, 15 of them need to be registered for
the convention.

Funny Poop

A traveler once
visited a small village in the countryside. At the local bar, someone asked him if he was
married. "I'm divorced, actually. Never could find a woman I didn't end up
fighting with all the time," he replied.
The
local man said: "Then you should go talk to the old couple that lives on
the hill outside the village. Rumor has
it that they've been married over 60 years and they've never fought this whole
time."
"What??
That's impossible! Everyone has fights!" Exclaimed the traveler. But the local swore to him it was the truth
and nothing but.
The
traveler just had to check it out, and in the morning he knocked on the door of
the little house on the hill and was immediately welcomed by the husband, who
invited him in for tea. After the traveler
explained why he came to see him, the man smiled and nodded.
"It's
true. We never fight."
"PLEASE,"
begged the traveler, "can you tell me your secret?"
"Well,"
said the old man, "it all started about 60 years ago, right after the
wedding. We were riding our mule back to
town and walking it down the street when it tripped over a stone and my wife
said to him: 'That's one.'
"We
kept riding and he tripped again on another stone, which made my wife
immediately say: 'That's two.'
"Two
minutes later, the mule trips over a stone again. My wife said: 'That's three.' She pulled out a gun I never knew she had and
shot it in the head without thinking twice! I was shocked and yelled at her: 'What the
heck do you think you're doing? We
needed that mule! Are you crazy?!'
"My
wife looked me straight in the eye and said: 'That's one.'
"And
we haven't had a fight since."

The wedding day
was fast approaching. Everything was
ready, and nothing could dampen Jennifer's excitement, not even her parents'
nasty divorce. Her mother Sheila finally
found the PERFECT dress to wear and would be the best dressed mother of the
bride EVER!
A
week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn her new young stepmother, Barbie,
had purchased the same dress. She asked
Barbie to exchange the dress, but Barbie refused, "Absolutely not! I'm
going to wear this dress; I'll look like a million in it!"
Jennifer
told her mother, who graciously replied, "Never mind dear. I'll get another dress, after all it's your
special day, not hers."
Two
weeks later, another dress was finally found. When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked
her mother, "What are you going to do with the first dress? Maybe you should return it. You don't have any place to wear it."
Sheila
grinned and replied, "Of course, I do, dear! I'm wearing it to the rehearsal dinner!"
