At the next Roost meeting, a Nomination Committee will be formed and candidates for all open occasions and Board positions will be assembled.  At the December Roost meeting, the Membership will vote on all positions.  At the January 2019 meeting, the results of the election will be announced.  The new officers and Board will be sworn in at the February 2019 Roost meeting.  Step up!  We need candidates for all positions!  Please call me for any questions or more information on the election - 410-598-4597.

Plastic bags will be collected at every Roost meeting.  These bags are used by Diakonia (the local Food Bank and Homeless Shelter) to distribute food contributions to the needy.  My white Ford pick up truck will be parked out front of OC 360.  Just drop your plastic bags (tied up tightly) in the bed of the truck.

Funny Poop
·         Three Little Ducks go into a Bar...
"Say, what's your name?" the bartender asked the first duck.
"Huey," was the rely.
"How's your day been, Huey?"
"Great.  Lovely day.  Had a ball.  Been in and out of puddles all day.  What else could a duck want?"
"Oh, that's nice," said the bartender.  He turned to the second duck, "Hi, and what's your name?"
"Dewey," came the answer back from the second duck.
"So, how's your day been, Dewey?", he asked.
"Great.  Lovely day.  Had a ball.  Been in and out of puddles all day.  What else could a duck want?"
The bartender turned to the third duck and said, "So, you must be Louie?"
"No," she said, batting her eyelashes.  "My name is Puddles."
