Roost #44 Poop
·
From the Prez –
St.
Paddy's Day Parade was a blast! If you couldn't make it, you really missed a
good time. The crowd was awesome! Thanks to Susan and Frank and any other
volunteers who helped make this year's parade one of the best. Don't miss it! It really helps you connect with other Roost
members as well as letting all of Ocean City that see that Ravens Roost #44 is
a part of the fabric of Ocean City! Anybody
got any photos to share?
The Golf
Scholarship Committee will meet on Wednesday, March 27 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! It’s 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.
Remember
that your Roost Membership card entitles you to a 20% discount on food,
beverage & apparel purchases at the Original Greene Turtle. We encourage
Roost members and Roost Committees to patronize the Original Greene Turtle. By
the way, the Original Greene Turtle is a major sponsor of our College Golf
Scholarship Tournament every year and we appreciate their support.
My white
Ford pickup truck will be at the next meeting. The back will be open if you would like to
donate plastic bags to Diakonia (local food bank and homeless shelter). The bags are used to help distribute food
contributions to the needy. Simply put
your plastic bags (TIED UP TIGHTLY) in the bed of the truck. This is a great way to recycle plastic bags
for a good cause.

Membership: Please
mail your dues to: Susan Berterman, 32612 Falling Point Road, Dagsboro Delaware
19939. Still only $30 per year.
It was
brought to my attention that some members may not be aware that the annual dues
are now due. Per the By-Laws: “Each
member shall pay to the Membership Chairman the sum of thirty dollars ($30.00)
per year no later than the February meeting.
The only exception to this rule being a prospective member who would be
accepted into the Roost from the first day of March where dues will be
pro-rated.” Hope this clears things up.

Parade –
Six
members still have their vests from the St. Paddy parade. Please bring them to the next meeting so we
can store them with the rest for the next time we need them. Thanks!
The Convention Parade will be here before
you know it – Saturday, June 1st.
We’d love to have a big turn out, so please save the date!

Funny Poop
·
A farmer and his wife were lying in bed one evening;
she was knitting, he was reading the latest issue of Animal Husbandry. He looks up from the page and says to her, "Did
you know that humans are the only species in which the female achieves
orgasm?"
She looks at him wistfully, smiles, and replies, "Oh yeah? Why don't you prove it."
He frowns for a moment, then says, "Okay."
He then gets up and walks out, leaving his wife with a confused look on her face.
About a half an hour later, he returns all tired and sweaty and proclaims, "Well I'm sure the cow and sheep didn't, but the way that pig's always squealing, how can you tell?"
