At the next Roost meeting, a Nomination Committee will be formed and candidates for all open officers 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.

Don't forget to bring your checks to the November Roost meeting for the Christmas Dinner.  We have a great menu and entertainment scheduled.  Contact Ron Apperson for more information ASAP 302-436-4790.  Don't forget to buy tickets at the November Roost meeting for the special Roost #44 Quilt that will be raffled off at the Christmas Dinner.

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
·         Maria, a maid, asks her boss for a raise.  Her boss is annoyed and asks, "Now, Maria, why do you think you deserve a raise?"
Maria: 'Well, Señora, there are three reasons why I want a raise.  First, I iron better than you.'
Wife: 'Who said you iron better than me?'
Maria: 'Your husband said so.'
Wife: 'Oh.'
Maria: 'The second reason is that I am a better cook than you.'
Wife: 'Nonsense, who said you were a better cook than me?'
Maria: 'Your husband did.'
Wife: 'Oh.'
Maria: 'My third reason is that I am a better lover than you.'
The wife is obviously upset: 'Did my husband say that?'
Maria: 'No, Señora, the gardener did.'
Wife: 'So, how much do you want?'
