Roost #44 Poop
·
From the Prez – The
September Roost meeting will be moved to September 6, since the Ravens will
be in Cincinnati on our normally scheduled meeting day. Remember you can go straight into our meeting
room and order food. You don't have to
go to the bar to order food and drinks.
Marc
Grimes is stepping down as Chairman of the Golf Scholarship Committee. I would like to begin a discussion with Roost members
who would like to try to continue the Roost #44 Golf Scholarship event, about
whether we will continue to host this event. Whatever, we decide, every Roost member should
give Marc a great big 'Thank You' for his years of building this event into one
of Ocean City's major fund raising events. I personally hope we can carry on Marc's
legacy and continue the tournament and the funds it generates for outstanding
local graduating seniors.
Please
think about stepping up to volunteer for Board and Officer positions and the
Golf Scholarship Committee next year. Don't
hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the responsibilities for
any of these positions. eric_waterman@comcast.net or
410-598-4597.
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.

determined to exercise control over the town's youth. To the rockin' rhythm of its Oscar and
Tony-nominated top 40 score and augmented with dynamic new songs for the stage
musical, "Footloose" celebrates the wisdom of listening to young
people, guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind. Music by Tom Snow, Lyrics by Dean Pitchford,
Book by Dean Pitchford & Walter Bobbie.
