Shorebirds game w/ Hardball Cafe Buffet: 
We need to get a real good estimate on how many are interested in this event because of a minimum requirement to book reservations & also to pay a required deposit of 30%. At this point this date is available for us. 
The Hardball Cafe is a section behind home plate with reserved seating at tables & chairs to eat, drink & watch the game with a buffet of hamburgers, Esskay hot dogs, BBQ Purdue chicken legs, mac & cheese, watermelon, popcorn & n/adrinks. Sincethis is also a "Thirsty Thursday" promotion, CL & ML 16 0z. beers & Pepsiproducts will be just $2. Totalcost is $27pp which includes the game ticket. 
Please consider this & be prepared to sign up at the next meeting. If we get a good count we can go ahead with booking & ask for some money up front at the Marchmeeting. Atthis point a bus is not planned unless we get a school type bus as a favor for gas cost, driver tip & a free admission. 
Inclusion of friends & relatives is under consideration. 
UPDATE:As of 2/16, we have 31 (29 members + 2 guests) signed up for the Shorebirds event on Thursday 7/21/16. 
The Hardball Cafe & buffet has been booked for us & a deposit has beencharged. Itwould be good if even more people sign up so have a nice cushion for possible cancellations (the minimum group size is 30 with realistically no maximum). 
Right now, we need some more people to pay the $27pp cost so we can fulfill our depositdebt. Acheck made out to Ron Apperson can be sent to him at 37899 Swann Drive, Selbyville, De. 19975 or brought to the next meeting on 3/10/16.

  • Census Taker: 'How many children do you have?' 
Woman: 'Four.' 
Census Taker: 'May I have their names, please?' 
Woman: 'Eenie, Meenie, Minie and George.' 
Census Taker: 'Okay, that's fine. But may I ask why you named your fourth child George?' 
Woman: 'Because we didn't want any Moe.' 
  • A man was speeding down anAlabama highway, feeling secure in a gaggle of cars all traveling at the same speed. However, as they passed a speed trap, he got nailed with an infrared speed detector andwas pulled over. 
The officer handed him the citation, received his signature and was about to walk away when the man asked, "Officer, I know I was speeding, but I don't think it's fair - there were plenty of other cars around me who were going just as fast, so why did I get the ticket?" 
"Ever go a fishin'?" the policeman suddenly asked the man. 
"Ummm, yeah..." the startled man replied. 
The officer grinned and added, "Did you ever catch 'em all?" 
  • A guy goes into a drugstore to buy condoms. 
"What size?" asks the clerk. 
"Gee, I don't know." 
"Go see Sophie in aisle 4." 
He goes over to see Sophie, who grabs him in the crotch, gives him a little rub, and yells, "Medium!" 
The guy is mortified! He hurries over to pay and leaves quickly. 
Another guy comes in to buy condoms, and gets sent to Sophie in aisle 4. Sophie grabs him, gives him a little rub, and yells, 
"Large!" 
The guy struts over to the register, pays, and leaves. 
A high school kid comes in to buy condoms. 
"What size?" 
The kid embarrassedly says, "I've never done this before. I don't know whatsize." 
The clerk sendshim over to Sophie in aisle 4. 
She grabs him, gives him a little rub, and yells, 
"Clean upin aisle 4!"

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
