Forgotten 50 Social - Tuesday
9/17. Time will be 5:30pm to 7:30pm with
HH prices on food and drinks. We will
meet in the back bar like we did last year. Please let me know if you plan to attend and
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.

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
AGH
Penguin Swim:
The RR44 Penguin Swim Team will be
sponsoring a guest bartending fundraiser at Ocean 13 on Thursday 10/10 from 6
to 9pm. That was the only date that
worked for everyone involved at the restaurant and AGH. I know that is the date of the October Roost
meeting, but maybe members can stop by after the meeting? I would like to have a couple Roost
celebrities get behind the bar for a half hour or so that evening. It could be either before or after the Roost
meeting if that helps.
Please let me know if you can make
it.
Tickets for the annual End of Year
Raffle will be available soon. Prizes
include; An amethyst pendant from Park Place Jewelers, $700 worth of Gift Cards
to various local restaurants, an In-Home Catered Seafood Dinner for 6 from The
Shrimp Boat, and A basket of Cheer. Tickets are $10/each, 3 for $25, and 5 for
$40.
Please consider joining the RR44
Penguin Swim Team. The goal is to have
each Team member raise donations from friends & family, as well as helping
the Team raise additional funds through the special events listed above. We will have a Hospitality Suite at the
Princess Royale Hotel where the swim takes place. All Roost members are welcome to attend the
event to cheer on and support the Team. Team members DO NOT have to get fully in the
ocean!! You only have to get your feet
wet. And there is a heated indoor pool
to jump into to warm up afterwards. There will be a signup sheet at
the meeting if you want to join.

Game
Bus:
Ravens Roost 44 Home Game Trip is cancelled due to lack of group
sales by the Baltimore Ravens. However…
Ocean
Pines Rec and Parks is trying to get a trip together. This is from Kevin Powell @ Rec and Parks:
We’d like to get a 57-passenger bus for this.
Ends up being about $475/person
Includes all food/beer/wine/seltzer/soda for 2 hours
before game, bus transportation and a ticket to the game. Also, Poe, the
Cheerleaders and the Marching band would visit the tent while we all eat and
enjoy some beverages. Seats would be in first 3 rows of 500 level.
Let me know if your Ravens Roost folks would be
interested, please
Thanks,
Kevin

Funny Poop
One Sunday a priest announced he
was passing out miniature crosses made of palm leaves. "Put this cross in the room where your
family argues most," he advised. "When you look at it, the cross will
remind you that God is watching."
When the parishioners were leaving church, a woman walked up to the
priest, shook his hand and said, "I'll take five."

I’m going to try to get this out every Wednesday so if you get it to me
