From the Prez
– The next Roost meeting will be
Thursday December 14th at OC 360 at the top of the Fenwick Inn at 7:30. The 20th Anniversary "Scrapbook"
will be available for those members who don't
receive one at the Christmas Party on December 9th. Thanks again to Treasurer Sandy Taras for all
her hard work in assembling the 20 year history of the Roost. We have some surprise photos from over the
years in the Scrapbook too!
The Nominating Committee Chair Dennis Faber will announce the nominees
for 2018 Officers and Board members at the meeting. The election for the 2018 Officers and Board
of Directors will be held at the January 11th Roost Meeting. Thanks to Dennis and his Committee Joanne
Faber and Rob Carpenter for volunteering for the Nomination Committee. We need more new members to volunteer for the
offices and committees! Please think
about getting involved!
Donations to the 2017 Canned Food Drive for Diakonia will be collected
at the December 14th Roost Meeting. I
will have my white Ford pick up truck parked in front of the Fenwick Inn with
the bed of the truck open. Just drop
your donations and plastic bags in the back of the truck.
The Council of Raven Roosts' donation of $500 to Roost #44 for Diakonia
was presented to the Executive Director of Diakonia in November.

Drag
Queen Comedy Show. I am hosting as a way to raise money for
Believe in Tomorrow. I am waiting on
some pictures to create a flyer but the information is as follows: Saturday,
January 13th from 7-11 at the Pit & Pub.
Tickets will cost $25. The bar
will be offering happy hour prices and a
discounted menu, plus there will be some light hors d’oeuvres included
in the ticket cost. I am limited to 100
people and I have an overwhelming response for people wanting tickets. I believe this will sell out fast, so I
wanted to give you the information. Once I create the flyer I will forward it
to you as well, but wanted you to know that I am beginning to sell the tickets
now. Thank you, Maria.

One afternoon this guy drives
down a highway to visit a nearby lake and relax. On his way to the lake, a guy dressed from
head to toe in red standing on the side of the highway gestures for him to
stop.
The guy rolls
down the window and says, "How can I help you?"
"I am the
red jerk of the highway. You got
something to eat?" With a smile in
his face, the guy hands a sandwich to the guy in red and drives away. Not even five minutes later, he comes across
another guy. This guy is dressed fully
in yellow, standing on the side and waving for him to stop.
A bit
irritated, our guy stops, cranks down the window, and says, "What can I do
for you?"
"I am the
yellow jerk of the highway. You got
something to drink?" Hardly
managing to smile this time, he hands the guy a can of Coke and stomps on the
pedal and takes off again. In order to
make it to the lakeside before sunset, he decides to go faster and not stop no
matter what.
To his frustration,
he sees another guy on the side of the road, this one dressed in blue and
signaling for him to stop. Reluctantly,
our guy decides to stop one last time, rolls down his window, and yells,
"Let me guess. You're the blue jerk
of the highway, and just what do YOU want?"
"Driver's
license and registration, please."
