QUILT RAFFLE
If you
haven't already purchased raffle tickets for the beautiful handmade Roost quilt
that Martha Worthington made, please contact Donna Chaplinski 410-627-7697 or
myself at 410-598-4597 as soon as possible. The tickets are only $5.00 and only 300 will
be sold. This is the one fund raising
effort for the Roost in 2018. We could
use more volunteers to help sell the tickets ASAP!
ELECTIONS
Bob
Monroe was selected as Chairman of the Nominating Committee at the November
Roost meeting. In accordance with the By
Laws, Bob will select two members to comprise the Nominating Committee. A proposed slate of officers and Board members
will be presented at the December 13 Roost meeting. Nominations can also be made from the floor at
the meeting. The following positions are
vacant:
President
Recording
Secretary
Chairman

We would really like some newer members
to step up and provide leadership for the Roost. Nominations will be closed at the December
meeting and the election will be held at the Roost Meeting on January 10, 2019.
SCHOLARSHIP
COMMITTEE
As you
probably know, after many years of leading our Scholarship Committee that
provides thousands of dollars each year through our Golf Tournament, Marc
Grimes is stepping down. Along with
Marc, there are several other members who have worked for years to make this
such a successful program. Many of them
are also stepping down after volunteering more than their share of time and
effort. Along with the Penguin Swim, the
Scholarship Committee is one of the two major charitable programs that the
Roost conducts each year.
In 2019,
we will continue this Tournament. We are looking for volunteers and "new
blood" to join the Committee. It's
an excellent way to get involved with the Roost. Don McMullen and I will cochair the committee.
We already have some volunteers - Steve
Szlasa, Gary Miller, Mike Eder, Pat Ladner and Fritz Ladner. I've talked with Marc and we will hold a
Transition Meeting in January to get his input and expertise in planning next
year's Tournament. Stay tuned and think
about volunteering yourself.

Funny Poop

The Queen of England was visiting one of Canada's
top hospitals, and during her tour of the floors she passed a room where a male
patient was masturbating. "Oh my
God", said the Queen, "that's disgraceful, what is the meaning of
this?"
The doctor replied, "That man has a very
serious condition where the testicles rapidly fill with semen. If he doesn't do that 5 times a day, they'll
explode, and he would die instantly."
"Oh, I am sorry", said the Queen. On the next floor they passed a room where a
young nurse was giving a patient oral sex. "Oh my God", said the Queen,
"What's happening in there?"
The Doctor replied, "Same problem, better
health plan."
