how many are in your party. This will be
a fun, casual event for members to get together. It is NOT a fundraiser and there is no
charge other than what you order to eat & drink. Visit their website to see the drink and food
menus @ "forgotten50distilling.com". Thanks, Gary.

Any suggestions for future activities are very
welcome. Text Donna at

Our permanent meeting host is the
American Legion Post 166 located at Coastal Hwy and 23rd streets.
Please enter through the handicapped
door on the 23rd street north side.
All membership meetings begin at 7:30pm on the second Thursday of each
month. However, all Roost members are
invited to arrive early for food and drink specials at reasonable prices - a
great place to have dinner before or during the meeting. The Post only accepts cash for purchases.
The only likely changes to the
meeting schedule are for an outside summer meeting at our annual family picnic
and for a conflict at the post during the September bike week.
During football season we are invited
to the Post for a game viewing party with the big projection screen along with
tailgating food and drinks for sale.
Thanks,
Ron

Funny Poop
A terrifying explosion occurs in a
gunpowder factory, and once all the mess has been cleared up, and inquiry
begins. One of the few survivors is
pulled up to make a statement. "Okay Simpson," says the
investigator, "you were near the scene, what happened?"
"Well, it's like this. Old
Charley Higgins was in the mixing room, and I saw him take a cigarette out of
his pocket and light up."
"He was smoking in the mixing room?" the investigator said in
stunned horror, "How long had he been with the company?"
"About 20 years, sir"
"20 years in the company, then he goes and strikes a match in the
mixing room, I'd have thought it would
have been the last thing he'd have done."
"It was, sir."
