Roost #44 Poop
·
From the Prez –
Greetings to all…I hope all is
heeding the advice by Health Officials and doing all they can to stay safe and
healthy. Please keep up to date on all
official announcements as they seem to change by the hour…and sing the Ravens
song while you WASH YOUR HANDS.
I don’t know for sure if the next
Ravens Roost meeting next month at Abbey Burger will be held or not…depends on
the Governor’s mandate that all bars and restaurants be closed…we will keep all
posted on any developments.
Same is true on some upcoming
events (Golf Scholarship Tournament…Ravens Council Convention)…let’s hope this
turns for the better soon
In case you haven’t done so,
please pay your membership dues to Sue…we like to have all dues in by April
Also see Jo Ann if you’re planning
on going to the convention and Ron if you’re planning to go to the Shorebirds
game. Again, this all pertains if they
are still scheduled and not canceled
Still looking for volunteers for
the Bylaws committee and more volunteers for the Entertainment/fundraising
committee…please email me if interested rjm73054@gmail.com.

Membership: Per our Bylaws: "Each member
shall pay to the Membership Chairman the sum of thirty dollars ($30.00) per
year no later than the February meeting.
Members thirty (30) days in arrears shall no longer be members of Ravens
Roost #44. Those names will be listed in
the April newsletter."
That being said, I know that many
of our members are south for the winter, so I am continuing to accept 2020
dues. In the April Caw, I will list all
unpaid members and if the members are not paid by May, I will consider them
resigned and drop them from the membership roll.
Still $30 - Cheap! - Please pay at
the meeting or mail your dues to: Susan Berterman, 12290 Dixie Drive,
Bishopville, MD, 21813.
·
Wellness: Please call Marian Cicero @ 410.250.2501 or

encouragement or a sympathy card for a family member. Please, no texts or emails.

House: April and May meeting at Abbey Burger behind Hol. Inn
Exp. Expectations are that this will be

meeting. Acceptable venues for backup
locations will be announced after voting.
They will be selected and booked by the House Committee when needed.

Upcoming are Duckaneer Pirate ship mid-August,
trip to Tangier Island, hopefully away trip to Houston, depending on date, pub
crawl on Kent Island in May, crab feast in October and a bull/oyster
roast/Halloween party on 10/31, Capitols game in fall. We'll keep all posted on dates. Carol Monroe will discuss at next meeting. Thanks, and have a good winter.
o
Shorebirds Game: Unfortunately, Marty cannot chair this event committee as hoped, so we
are looking for someone to take over.
July 16 seems to be the likely date, but we need to move quickly - March
is the month the Shorebirds usually try to get a deposit from us. Anyone interesting in heading this event
please contact Donna as soon as possible.
Look for an event sign-up sheet at the next meeting.

Good daily dose of Ravens news notes and nuggets here.
It’s getting to the point where I can hardly stand ESPN, but you can go here to
stay up to date with all of the AFC North news.

Out and about and can’t watch the
game? You can listen to the Ravens on
the radio! (I know, right?) Go here: https://www.baltimoreravens.com/game-day/coverage for the list of affiliates.

Everything is cancelled. Practice you social distancing. We’ll get through this.
Funny Poop
·
A young woman was
taking golf lessons and had just started playing her first round of golf when
she suffered a bee sting. Her pain was
so intense that she decided to return to the clubhouse for medical assistance. The golf pro saw her heading back and said,
“You are back early, what’s wrong?”
“I was stung by a bee!” she said.
“Where?” he asked.
“Between the first and second hole.” she replied.
He nodded and said, “Your stance is far too wide.”
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.
