Weekly Poop 6/20.18



Roost #44 Poop
·         From the PrezGreat Roost meeting June 14th when the 2018 Raven Roost #44 College Scholarships were presented by Scholarship Committee Chair Marc Grimes.  All 7 winners were in attendance with their families.  Congratulations Marc and all Committee members on another outstanding and successful tournament.  The 7 scholarship recipients were outstanding students who were truly worthy of our almost $15,000 in scholarships.

At the Council of Roost Meeting in Catonsville, June 15th, it was announced that PSL owners should have received info on how to attend Raven training camp.  As an annual Council charity request for all Roosts, the Board of Directors for Roost #44 submitted a request for a $500.00 donation to Diakonia from the Council.
Treasurer Sandy Taras and I will present a new annual budget for the Roost at the next Board of Directors meeting.  Please be aware that next January, ALL Board of Directors and Officers of the Roost will be open.  Please consider stepping up to be part of a new 2019 leadership team for Roost #44.
Looking forward to Shorebird game and Annual Picnic this summer.
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.

Local Poop
·         Now thru Labor Day - OC Beach Lights Spectacular - Lasers, lights, video, music and special effects, The Beach at North Division Street.  Returning to Ocean City this summer is the fun and exciting free event for the entire family, OC Beach Lights Spectacular!
Beach Lights will begin Memorial Day weekend and run nightly through Labor Day from 9pm to 11pm.  Special 3-minute displays at 9:00pm, 9:20pm, 9:40pm, 10:00pm, 10:20pm, 10:40pm, and 11:00pm.

·         Tonight – Freeman Stage @ Bayside - HEAL Documentary – 7:45pm.  Director Kelly Noonan Gores' documentary takes us on a scientific and spiritual journey where we discover that our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions have a huge impact on our health and ability to heal.  The latest science reveals that we are not victims of unchangeable genes, nor should we buy into a scary prognosis.  The fact is we have more control over our health and life than we have been taught to believe.  This film will empower you with a new understanding of the miraculous nature of the human body and the extraordinary healer within us all.  "Heal" not only taps into the brilliant minds of leading scientists and spiritual teachers, but follows three people on actual high stakes healing journeys.  Healing can be extremely complex and deeply personal, but it can also happen spontaneously in a moment.  Through these inspiring and emotional stories we find out what works, what doesn't, and why.  Join Jeffrey Fried, President and CEO of Beebe Healthcare, and other local healthcare professionals in their thought-provoking, opening remarks on wellness and the journey to better health.  BYOC- Bring Your Own Chair.

Funny Poop
·         A tough looking group of hairy bikers are riding when they see a girl about to jump off a bridge, so they stop.  The leader, a big burly man, gets off his bike and says, "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to commit suicide," she says.
While he doesn’t want to appear insensitive, he also doesn’t want to miss an opportunity, so he asks, "Well, before you jump, why don't you give me a kiss?"  She does, and it is a long, deep, lingering kiss.  After she's finished, the tough, hairy biker says, "Wow! That was the best kiss I’ve ever had!  That's a real talent you’re wasting.  You could be famous.  Why are you committing suicide?"
"My parents don't like me dressing up like a girl…"
