Roost #44 Poop
·
From the Prez
– Springfest Beer Truck Meeting tonight at OC 360 at 6:30.
Every 5 years,
the city allows the Roost to host a Beer Truck at either the Springfest or
Sunfest festivals. This year, Roost #44
will be hosting a Beer Truck at the Springfest Festival May 3-6. This once in a five year event enables the
Roost to remain economically viable with our low dues structure. WE NEED MORE VOLUNTEERS TO HELP WORK
THE BEER TRUCK. If you have already volunteered at the regular
Roost meetings or if you would like to add your name to volunteer to help out,
please join us tonight for this meeting where final arrangements will be made
for this year's major Roost fund raising event. We will probably not host another Beer Truck
until the 2023 Sunfest so we need to maximize our fund raising this year. Call me or email if you have any questions. eric_waterman@comcast.net
or 410-598-4597. Join us tonight at 6:30
and find out how you can help the Roost serve some beer, collect some money and
have some fun at Springfest!
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.

Funny Poop

President Trump
is walking out of the White House and heading toward his limo, when a possible
assassin steps forward and aims a gun. A
secret service agent, new on the job, shouts 'Mickey Mouse!' This startles the would-be assassin and he is
captured.
Later,
the secret service agent's supervisor takes him aside and asks, 'What in the
hell made you shout Mickey Mouse?'
Blushing,
the agent replies, 'I got nervous. I
meant to shout 'Donald, duck!'
Etcetera
