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.
The
House Committee met to discuss ways to improve the flow and service at our
monthly meetings. If you want to have dinner
at OC 360 at our Roost meetings, please be advised that you need to order
dinner in the bar or dining room BEFORE the meeting. We WON'T be taking food orders during our
Roost meeting. Only drink orders. If you order dinner that is not ready by the
time the meeting begins, your order will be brought in, but again, NO food
orders will be taken during the meeting. OC 360 has generously offered to have modest
snacks on the tables for us at the meeting. So, if you want to have dinner at OC 360,
please come early enough to have dinner BEFORE the meeting.
The
Raven Rap radio show starts tonight at the Original Greene Turtle at 6:30. There will be game day raffles for several
games like last year. Panelists include
MC Mike Bradley, Bobby Vermillion and Tony Lombardi.
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.

Adam
and Eve said, "Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every
day. Now we do not see you anymore. We are lonesome here and it is difficult for
us to remember how much you love us."
And God
said, "No problem! I will create a
companion for you that will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of
my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or
unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will
love you as I do, in spite of yourselves."
And God
created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve. And it was a good animal. And God was pleased.
And the
new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail.
And Adam
said, "Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I
cannot think of a name for this new animal."
And God
said, "No problem. Because I have
created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be
a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG."
And Dog
lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them. And they were comforted.
And God
was pleased. And Dog was content and
wagged his tail.
After a
while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said, "Lord,
Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen like peacocks and they
believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog
has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well."
And God
said, "No problem! I will create
for them a companion who will be with them forever and who will see them as
they are. The companion will remind them
of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of adoration."
And God
created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.
And Cat
would not obey them. And when Adam and
Eve gazed into Cat's eyes, they were reminded that they were not the supreme
beings. And Adam and Eve learned
humility.
And they
were greatly improved.
And God
was pleased. And Dog was happy.
And Cat
didn't give a shit one way or the other.
