Weekly Poop 5/8/19



Roost #44 Poop
·         From the Prez
Baltimore Colt and NFL Legend Gino Marchetti passed away at the age of 93.  Gino fought at the Battle of the Bulge.  He was an NFL Hall of Famer and a true gentleman.  Gino played in 116 consecutive regular season games from 1956-1964 and was an All Pro each of those nine years.  You were a childhood hero to countless Baltimore Colt fans who will never forget you!  RIP Gino the Giant!

Don't miss the next Roost meeting on May 9th at OC 360.  We will discuss the future location of our monthly meetings.  OC 360 has changed the conditions which we have been working under.  The House Committee has investigated some alternative locations and we will be discussing these options as well as whether we should stay at OC 360.  See you at the meeting!

Raven Roost #44 and the Council of Raven Roosts were recognized for their donations to Diakonia, the local food bank and homeless shelter in the Maryland Coast Dispatch on 3/29 and OC Today 4/26.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.
