Roost #44 Poop
·
From the Prez –
The
Scholarship Golf Tournament is looking for volunteers. 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.

Funny Poop
· An elderly lady was well-known for her faith
and for her boldness in talking about it. She would stand on her front porch
and shout "PRAISE THE LORD!"
Next door to her lived an atheist who would get so angry at her proclamations he would shout, "There ain't no Lord!!"
Hard times set in on the elderly lady, and she prayed for GOD to send her some assistance. She stood on her porch and shouted "PRAISE THE LORD. GOD I NEED FOOD!! I AM HAVING A HARD TIME. PLEASE LORD, SEND ME SOME GROCERIES!!"
The next morning the lady went out on her porch and noted a large bag of groceries and shouted, "PRAISE THE LORD."
The neighbor jumped from behind a bush and said, "Aha! I told you there was no Lord. I bought those groceries, God didn't."
The lady started jumping up and down and clapping her hands and said, "PRAISE THE LORD. He not only sent me groceries, but He made the devil pay for them. Praise the Lord!"
