From the Prez –
I hope and pray that all Roost members and their
families are well..this virus is to be taken seriously and all mandates ordered
by the Governors of Maryland and Delaware strictly adhere to..as well as local
restrictions
I had a meeting with Don McMullen (chairman of the Golf
Scholarship committee and Ron Staines chairman of the Board) and we decided to
postpone the golf tournament on May 29th .. the committee will look
into a later date if feasible
The scholarships will be awarded this year to the
students who were selected..Don McMullan will have updates
As for the Ravens Council convention scheduled for May
28-31..I have been in contact with the council convention committee and they
are waiting to see what the outlook is going to look like down the road..there
is a meeting this Thursday and I will get a better update then..
Contact Joann Elder if you want to purchase convention
passes and to sign up for activities…I’ve been in contact with Joann on any
latest developments concerning the convention
As you all know there is no meeting this month and more
than likely next month’s meeting will be canceled…all events scheduled for
April are cancelled, but will give updates as they are relayed to me
If you haven’t done so already please submit your
membership dues to Susan..
Again all Roost members please stay home only to go out
for groceries and prescriptions, wash hands, keep a social distance from others

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.

Funny Poop

An overweight
business associate of mine decided it was time to shed some excess pounds. He took his new diet seriously, even changing
his driving route to avoid his favorite bakery.
One morning, however, he arrived at work carrying a gigantic coffeecake. We all scolded him, but his smile remained cherubic.
"This is a very special coffeecake," he explained. "I accidentally drove by the bakery this morning and there in the window were a host of goodies. I felt this was no accident, so I prayed, `Lord, if you want me to have one of those delicious coffeecakes, let me have a parking place directly in front of the bakery.'
"And sure enough," he continued, "the eighth time around the block, there it was!"

A pirate walks
into a bar and the bartender says, “Hey, um, did you realize you have a
steering wheel stuck on the front of your pants?”
The pirate says, “Aaargh, I know, it’s drivin’ me nuts!”
