· Convention: This was definitely a more laid-back convention with about 1,000 less people than normally attend. It was still an enjoyable break from the real world.

I would like to thank the new members and first-time conventioneers for attending and am interested in your feedback, as well as the members who have attended many times. It’s always good to share comments when they are still fresh to pass on to the Council. Please pass along any comments you have by e-mailing me at jelder10@verizon.net.

My personal special thanks go to Donna and Tony for shopping for and delivering the hot dogs, snacks, and beer, soda, and water for the hospitality room and cleaning it all out at the end of the convention; and to Frank and Susan for keeping the beverages iced down. Also, to Debbie, Donna, and Robin for helping me to prepare the souvenir bags and keeping an eye at the hospitality room. Hope everyone had a great time.

· Good of the Roost: - Hey Ravens women, let's get together and meet for lunch at a local restaurant or picnic at a park. Some of our guys have been doing this pre pandemic for a while so I thought it'd be good for us women to get to know each other and to have a "girls day" out. Contact Donna at 410-627-7697. If we have enough interest, we can pick a date and time. Thanks.

Funny Poop

· The Queen of England was visiting one of Canada's top hospitals, and during her tour of the floors she passed a room where a male patient was masturbating. "Oh my God", said the Queen, "that's disgraceful, what is the meaning of this?"

The doctor replied, "That man has a very serious condition where the testicles rapidly fill with semen. If he doesn't do that 5 times a day, they'll explode, and he would die instantly."

"Oh, I am sorry", said the Queen. On the next floor they passed a room where a young nurse was giving a patient oral sex. "Oh my God", said the Queen, "What's happening in there?"

The Doctor replied, "Same problem, better health plan."

Etcetera
