Roost #44 Poop
·         From the Prez
The Annual Raven Convention & Parade will be held at the Castle in the Sand from May 30 - June 2.  We picked up information on the Convention and Parade at the February 15th Council meeting in Baltimore.  Attached is the theme for the Convention.  T Shirts with the theme will be available for order.  Contact Convention Chair Jo Ann Elder (jelder10@verizon.net or 410-250-5124) for information on Registration and ordering T Shirts, Tank Shirts and Sweatshirts.  There is no rush and we will also have this information at the next Roost meeting on March 14 at OC 360.  The parade will be on Saturday, June 1st.  Susan Berterman is Chair of the Parade Committee.

The Golf Scholarship Committee will meet on Wednesday, March 13 at the Original Greene Turtle at 5:30.  Come join us to see how you can help in this worthy cause of raising money for college scholarships for graduating seniors at Stephen Decatur High School, Indian River High School and Worcester Prep.  This will be our 22nd Annual Tournament and it will be held on Friday, May 31st at the Ocean Pine Golf Course during the weekend of the Convention.  We have several new members on the Committee but we are always looking for more!  We will also need volunteers at the Golf Course to help manage the tournament.  Come to the next meeting and check it out!  Its a worthy cause that directly benefits our community.  Information on our Tournament is available on our website www.ocravensroost44.com as well as the Council of Raven Roost website - www.councilrr.com.

Funny Poop
·         Old Josh was sat in his garden, sunbathing in the deck chair when he noticed his grand-son kneeling on the lawn with a worm.  When he asked his grandson what he was doing, he found that he was trying to push the worm down the hole from which it came.
"If you can get that worm back in that hole I'll give you ten dollars," said Josh.
His grandson sat and thought for a moment, then rushed into the house.  A few minutes later he returned with his mother's hair spray.  He picked up the worm by one end and, as he let it hang down, he sprayed it all over with the hair spray.  The spray set and the worm became stiff and hard.  It was now easy to push the worm back in the hole.  Josh was amazed.  He gave the boy ten dollars, picked up the hair spray and went indoors.
About an hour later Josh came back into the garden and gave his grand-son another ten dollars.
"But grandpa," said the boy, "you've already given me the ten dollars you promised."
"That's from your grandma," said Josh.
Etcetera
