It's that time of year again unfortunately.  Time to:
1.            Root AGAINST the team you hate the most still in the playoffs.
2.            Dream of the NFL Draft.
3.            Wonder who will come be back and who will be gone in 2019.
4.            Where will Joe Flacco be in 2019?

Do NOT bring plastic bags the next Roost meeting, I won't have my truck available.

·         Penguin Swim: The OC Ravens Roost #44 Penguin Swim Team would like to thank all of those members that supported our fundraising efforts throughout the past year and especially those that came out to the Princess Royale to cheer us on.  Thanks to that support, the Team raised over $16,000 for our local hospital.

This was the 25th annual AGH Penguin Swim and the 11th year in a row that our Roost participated in the event.  In addition to the regular crew, we had a few new members join us this year which made it even more fun!  It was also the largest amount we have raised to date, winning us first place in the "Community Organization" category.  

In addition to receiving a trophy, the Team won a large can of Fisher's popcorn and some of Doll's famous candy which will be available for members to sample during our January meeting.
A special thanks goes out to the local businesses that supported our efforts.  They are listed on the attached Thank You ad that will run in this week’s Bayside Gazette.  Please be sure to support them throughout the year!



Thank you for your support!  Sincerely, Rob Carpenter, John Worthington, Tom Maly, Bill Cordwell, Dennis Faber, Joanne Faber, Cindi Brought, Lew Furman, Maggie Miller, Gary Miller, Carol Munroe, Nancy Delesio, Bob Dalesio, Mike Eder, Kim Eder & member emeritus, Paul Neal.

Funny Poop
·         A man was driving down the road.  He passed a traffic camera and saw it flash.  Astounded that he had been caught speeding when he was under the speed limit, he turned around and, going even slower, he passed by the camera.  Again, he saw it flash.  He couldn't believe it!  So he turned and, going at snail's pace, he passed the camera.  AGAIN, he saw the camera flash.  He guessed it must have a fault, and home he went.

Four weeks later he received 3 traffic fines in the mail, all for not wearing a seatbelt.
Etcetera
·         Got Poop?  Let me know!  I’m going to try to get this out every Wednesday so if you get it to me by Tuesday I’ll try to include it.  Your input is appreciated.
