·        Friday – Water Conservation Meeting @
·        Saturday – “Some of us will be going to a Delmarva Shorebirds vs. Greensboro Grasshoppers game to sell raffle tickets for our Scholarship on May 14, 2011.  The Shorebirds have won 10 straight and are hotter than a firecracker, speaking of which there are fireworks that night and you know how spectacular they are.  No bus but we certainly can carpool.  We will coordinate at RR# 44 meeting on Thursday May 12.  Hope to see you.”  Kelly
·        Thursday, June 2 – Convention Weekend begins!  This is the Council’s largest fundraiser so be sure to sign up for what is always a great event.  From Jo Ann: “Members may still register but will not receive the souvenir package.  Please mail to me at 126 Pine Tree Rd., Ocean City, MD, 21842.  If you have any questions, please call me at 410-250-5124 or 410-251-4360 any time.  I will have more information of the special events--karaoke, miniature golf, scavenger hunt, bingo, etc.--at the next meeting, along with signup sheets.  The Council usually requests help with staffing the food tent and other incidental events.  Hopefully, I'll have more on that month as well.

This is a great time to meet other Roost members, as well as spending time with our own Roost members.  There's always plenty of beer and food available.  The price of $55 is very reasonable when you consider all the benefits.

You must be registered for the convention to participate in the events.  Each person attending must have proper credentials, so spouses must be registered as well.  There can't be any "sharing" this year.  This includes admittance to our hospitality room.  This is the Council's rule--not Ravens Roost 44.

Thanks.  Jo Ann Elder”

Funny Poop
·        On hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Susan went straight to her grandparent's house to visit her 95-year-old grandmother to comfort her.

When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, he had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning."

Horrified, Susan told her grandmother that two people nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble.

"Oh no, my dear," replied granny. "Many years ago, realizing our advanced age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the church bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding, and out on the Dong."

She paused, wiped away a tear and then continued, "And if that damned ice cream truck hadn't come along, he'd still be alive today!"

Etcetera

Baltimore Ravens, let’s go
And put that ball across the line
So fly with talons spread wide
Go in and strike with Ravens pride
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Ravens dark wings take flight
Dive in and show them your might
For Baltimore and Maryland
You will fly on to victory
