From the Prez –
MEMBERS OF RAVENS ROOST 44, HATS OFF TO ALL THAT HELP TO MAKE
THIS YEAR'S CONVENTION A HUGE SUCCESS!!! Too many names to mention, but the golf
tournament had about 9 volunteers. Many
thanks to Don and the committee for a job well done. Don will give you the results on Thursday at
the meeting. Last I heard there was 128
golfers playing.
Now for the convention we had over 20 members in the parade,
lots of tired feet, but made the parade such a huge success!!! We had about 10 members helped with preparation
getting things ready for the convention. Lots of help from the Roost members. As your Prez I could not have been more pleased
to see all members giving their time to the success of this year's convention. We did capture one trophy in the cornhole
event. Bill and Larry, your Prez, won
2nd place. I have another commitment on
this Thursday, so Donna will be conducting the meeting. I also want to shout out to Frank and Sue for
the tremendous help for all that they did in hosting the hospitality room. They also put money out of their own pocket,
so as President I am requesting the treasurer to give them a check for $100.00
towards the cost of the goodies and drinks.
Again, too many names to mention, but you know who you are. Many thanks and it shows no I in TEAM!!!. Way to rock, Ravens Roost 44, it makes me
proud to be your president. Let's
continue to work together to make our Roost Number One.
Your Prez,
Larry

Poop
·
A drunk phoned
the police to report that thieves had broken in to his car.
"They've stolen the dashboard, steering wheel, brake
pedal, even the accelerator," he cried out.
However, before the police investigation could get under way
the phone rang a second time, with the same voice came over the line. "Never mind," said the drunk with a
hiccup, "I got in the backseat by mistake."
Etcetera
