Weekly Poop 12/2/2020

 

Roost #44 Poop

·         (Frank’s note: All items subject to change/cancellation)

 

·         From the Prez

Greetings to all..I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving and all stayed safe during the Holiday weekend..

There will be no Roost meeting on December 10th..we will try to schedule one in January 2021 at the American Legion..Ron Apperson of the House committee will have more information for 2021..

I’m looking forward to the new year as we have a lot of activities to catch up…as for the Ravens well I’m going to let Steve sort this out. It has been one unusual season with COVID, injuries and anything else thrown at them.

Please have prayers for Marian Cicero as she is battling some health issues..

As we enter the last month of 2020 ( do I hear big roar out there ) I want to thank all for staying positive and safe during this pandemic. It was a tough year for the Roost with only four meetings and all of our usual events cancelled..we did have our golf scholarships awards this year thanks to Don McMullen and the golf committee ..also Gary Miller for his efforts with the Penguin swim by selling raffle tickets and other merchandise..a big shout out goes to Michele Sardelis for her efforts on coordinating the football sweepstakes…but all in all my biggest thanks goes to Frank Berterman who kept the presses running with the Poop and the Caw..

So as this year FINALLY comes to an end I want to wish all of the Ravens Roost #44 and their families a Merry Christmas and joyous of Holidays…and most of all a Happy New Year!!!

 

·         Dates to Remember:

o    1/1/2021 – Penguin Swim

 

·         Membership: We currently have 121 paid members.  Thanks all!

 

·         Wellness: Please contact Carol Monroe at carol.munroe@hotmail.com if you know of a Roost member in need of a message of encouragement or a sympathy card for a family member.

 

·         House: The December meeting has been canceled by our president for obvious reasons,  All meetings that we do hold for the foreseeable future will be at the American Legion on 23rd St./Coastal Hwy.  They will follow all proper virus protocols for safety, We will take it a month at a time and keep everyone notified by the poop and Caw.  Happy "Vaccine Distribution Day" coming to our area soon!

 

·         Penguin Swim:  The OC Ravens Roost #44 “Penguin Swim Team” is once again raising money for Atlantic General Hospital as part of their 27th Annual Penguin Swim which takes place at the Princess Royal Hotel on New Years Day.  Last year we raised over $14,700 and the total raised by the Team in the past twelve years is $126,991.  PLEASE CONSIDER JOINING THE TEAM !!!!  You can register at "www.aghpenguinswim.org".  Simply click on "join a team", then click on "Ravens Roost 44" and fill out the information.  If you are a returning team member, be sure to click on "returning penguin" at the top of the page first.  There is a $25 registration fee to join a team.

 

This is the Team's 13th year participating in the Swim and "getting wet for a good cause".  We normally hold several fundraising events throughout the year in addition to personal donations collected from friends and neighbors.  This year, due to the Covid-19 concerns and restrictions, we have been restricted to just doing a raffle and one fundraising event at The Shrimp Boat in West OC which took place on Fri. & Sat. 10/30-31.  This has greatly restricted our fundraising efforts and made our personal requests for donations much more important.

 

If you are able, please make a donation to support the entire OC Ravens Roost 44 Team's effort to help this very worthy cause, our non-profit community hospital.  Simply go to "www.aghpenguinswim.org", scroll down the left side of the page and click on "Search All Teams”  Then click on “OC Ravens Roost 44”.  Scroll down to “Team Members” and click on the name of the penguin you want to donate to, then fill out the requested info.

 

You can also support the Team by purchasing a raffle ticket (or 3) that could win you one of 3 great prizes; Five $100 gift cards ($500 value) to local restaurants; a catered in-home seafood dinner for 6 from the Shrimp Boat; a Basket of cheer.  Tickets are $10/each or 3 for $25.  See below for more info.

 

Remember, whether you live here or just visit the OC area, if you have a medical issue while here, you will probably wind up at Atlantic General Hospital.  Help to make it the very best it can be.

 

See below for additional details.

Baltimore Ravens, let’s go

And put that ball across the line

So, fly with talons spread wide

Go in and strike with Ravens pride

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Ravens dark wings take flight

Dive in and show them your might

For Baltimore and Maryland

You will fly on to victory
