Roost #44 Poop
·
From the Prez
–
We have 40 members who have stepped up to volunteer for the Beer Truck
at Springfest! Thanks to all the members
who volunteered. Please stop by and see
us at the Beer Truck right where the Art & Craft tent meets the Food Tent. Our logo will be up and the beer money and
tips we raise will be directed to the Roost and our local charities. As I said last week, the Roost gets a Beer
Truck every five years so the next time the Roost will be able to host a Beer
Truck will be at the 2023 Sunfest. It’s
important that we maximize our funding at this year's Springfest. See you at the Springfest Raven Roost Beer
Truck, Thursday through Sunday, May 3-6.
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.

Unable to
attend the funeral after his Uncle Charlie died, a man who lived far away
called his Blonde brother and told him, 'Do something nice for Uncle Charlie
and send me the bill.’
Later,
he got a bill for $200.00, which he paid. The next month, he got another bill for
$200.00, which he also paid, figuring it was some incidental expense.
But
when the $200.00 bills kept arriving every month, he finally called his brother
again to find out what was going on.
'Well,'
said the Blonde brother, 'you said to do something nice for Uncle Charlie.
So
I rented him a tuxedo.'
