Roost #44 Poop
·
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.
