Convention:

It’s not too soon to be thinking about this year’s convention, which is scheduled for May 28^th – May 31^st. The theme for this year’s convention is “Purple Waves & Island Days”. The Council has added light food and live music to Thursday’s activities, something new from years past.

Attached is the convention schedule and application, and a sign up sheet will be provided at the March meeting. Please have money for Convention and application form to April's meeting as we have to turn these in to Council at their April mtg. Thanks

Parade:

The St. Patrick’s Day Parade is Saturday, March 14, beginning 12pm @ 60^th Street. As is our tradition, we will meet prior to the parade at the parking lot at Beach Copy on 59^th Street bayside. Tailgating begins 10am - BYOB. Members, you can bring your family and friends to march as well – the more the merrier!

This is a parade that is all about fun – no competition – We’re not worried about winning any prizes. We have music and stuff to throw to the folks lining the parade route. Wear something festive – we have our purple vests to wear over top so we look somewhat together.

The parade runs from 60^th Street to 45^th Street, so it’s best to park somewhere close to the end of the parade route so you’re close to your vehicle when we finish.

Afterwards, we plan to meet at the Tavern on Rt. 54 in Selbyville. All marchers are welcome. The Roost will provide food for everyone who marched. The Tavern has reasonable prices for drinks to purchase.

Apparel:

The on-line store is currently open in February with March shipping.

• From Gary: Sunday March 1st is the RR44 “Dine to Donate” event at Poncho & Lefty’s from 5-9pm. A portion of all sales will be donated back to the Roost. We will also have a 50/50 raffle and ALL money raised will go to the Roost general fund. Tell your friends and family to join us!! The more people that show up, the more money the Roost will make.

• Any ideas, text Donna 410-627-7697.

My wife asked me if she could have a little peace and quiet while she cooked dinner.

So I took the battery out of the smoke detector.

A lawyer meets with the family of a recently deceased millionaire for the reading of the will.

'To my loving wife, Rose, who always stood by me, I leave the house and $2 million,' the attorney reads.

'To my darling daughter, Jessica, who looked after me in sickness and kept the business going, I leave the yacht, the business and $1 million.'

'And finally,' the lawyer concludes, 'to my cousin Dan, who hated me, argued with me and thought I would never mention him in my will. Well, you were wrong. Hi Dan!'

Funny Poop

The father of five children had won a toy at a raffle.

He called his kids together to ask which one should have the present.

"Who is the most obedient?" he asked. "Who never talks back to mother? Who does everything she says?"

Five small voices answered in unison. "Okay, dad, you get the toy."
