Roost #44 Poop
·
From the Prez
– Springfest 2018 Big Success! Almost 40 Raven Roost #44 members volunteered
to help raise funds for our charities and the Roost at last week’s Springfest. We hosted a beer truck for the festival. This only happens every 5 years. Our next opportunity should be the 2023
Sunfest. We raised approximately $8,000
and most importantly, we had big time fun doing it. Thanks to all the volunteers! See some pics in this month’s Newsletter!
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.

Saturday - Fight
The Bite 5K Walk/Run, Ocean City Boardwalk. The Lyme Disease Awareness 5K is a
fundraising event providing information and prevention while educating the
public about the short and long term effects of an illness that is indemic in
Worcester County. The Lyme Disease
Awareness 5K will begin and end on the boardwalk at the south west end of the
boards and Inlet parking lot. Registration,
stage, and festivities will be set up adjacent to the south west tram station.
The good health
of our families and ourselves is our most valued asset. In our area, a danger to that asset is
lurking. Whether there are children on a
sports field, a family hiking or camping, your favorite outdoorsman hunting or
fishing, yourself or your spouse golfing on one of our county’s beautiful
courses, or gardening in your own yard, all of these activities expose us to
the most common vector borne disease: Borrelia Burgdorferi, more commonly known
as Lyme Disease. The odds are high that
you already know someone who has been impacted by tick borne illness. Odds are higher that there are people with
this illness that are unaware of its existence.
Did you know
that Lyme Disease often comes with additional “co- infections” that makes it
even more difficult to diagnose and treat? We are passionate about raising awareness and
educating the community on ways to protect themselves from and identify the
signs of tick related illness. We are
asking for your help. We will do the
heavy lifting, starting with a Lyme Disease Awareness 5K. This event will help raise funds to provide
free educational materials to the public as well as billboards and a website
address to refer to for current information about diagnosis and treatment. With the proper steps, we all can be safer
from this insidious disease.

Funny Poop

A guy and a girl meet at a bar. They get along so well that they decide to go
to the girl's place. A few drinks later,
the guy takes off his shirt and then washes his hands. He then takes of his trousers and washes his
hands again.
The girl has
been watching him and says, "You must be a dentist."
The guy,
surprised, says "Yes! How did you figure that out?"
"Easy,"
she replied, "you keep washing your hands."
One thing led to
another and they make love. After they
have done, the girl says, "You must be a good dentist."
The guy, now
with a boosted ego says, "Sure, I'm a good dentist. How did you figure that out?"
She said, "Didn't
feel a thing!"
