Greetings and hope all is well
with everyone. I don’t know about the
rest of you, but I’m looking for arrows on the trails during our daily walks.
·
During a discussion with board it
has been determined to have the June July August and September meetings at the
Ocean City American Legion. Ron Apperson
will have more information on this venture to find a home.
·
I have talked with the Castle in
the Sand to hold our deposit for the hospitality room for next year. Some of the other Roosts in the Council are
proceeding with the same decision.
·
Please stay tune for any updates
from the Governor and Mayor of Ocean City on when some of the restrictions will
be lifted and some of the phases be implemented.
·
Again please stay safe…keep social
distancing...wear masks where required…wash hands…and keep your sanity while
staying home.

According to literally all pundits, the Ravens had a stellar 2020
draft. Here’s what our expert has to say: “The Raven’s had The
Best Draft in recent Memory! Sports Illustrated
& Mel Kiper gave the Ravens an A, The Athletic ranked The Raven’s #1 out of
32 teams, meaning we had the top draft!
Highlights of the
Draft were that we drafted two of the top 4 inside linebackers, 2 of 4
receivers who had over 100 catches this year & a running back that had over
2,000 yards in one of the toughest conferences in the country.
As if the draft wasn’t
good enough, The Ravens signed 20 Undrafted Free Agents after the draft
including, 2 very good Tight Ends, 2 Centers, 2 Edge rushers & run/pass QB
that has a chance to beat out McSorley for #3 QB. There’s so much more, Bob, I’ll need 30
minutes @ the next meeting, which will come soon enough!
Miss You Guys, Be
Well, Raven’s Steve.”

Funny Poop

My boss texted
me, "Send me one of your funny jokes, Frank."
I replied, "I'm working at the moment, Sir, I will send you one later."
He replied, "That was fantastic, send me another one."
I replied, "I'm working at the moment, Sir, I will send you one later."
