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.

McPherson walked into a bar and
ordered martini after martini, each time removing the olives and placing them
in a jar. When the jar was filled with
olives and all the drinks consumed, the Irishman started to leave.
"Excuse
me," said another bar patron, who was puzzled over what McPherson had
done. "What was that all
about?"
"Nothing,"
said the Irishman, "my wife sent me out for a jar of olives.
Etcetera
