Roost
#44 Poop
-
From the Prez – Some members may not be aware that Roost #44 is a member of the Council of Baltimore Raven Roosts. This Council was formed as the successor to the Council of Colt Corrals after the Ravens came to Baltimore in 1996. The Council holds a monthly meeting Catonsville, MD. All Roost presidents or a representative are expected to attend these meetings. Some of the major events that the Council sponsors are the Annual Council Convention and Parade in Ocean City and an annual Bull Roast in Baltimore, which is the prime fund raiser for the Council. The Council also raises significant donations to the Special Olympics of Maryland held at the Polar Bear Plunge at the Bay Bridge and another Plunge held in Western Maryland. Last year, $117,622 was raised by the Council and its members for both Plunges. Dues and funds generated by the Council are donated to various local and regional charities. Since 2007, the Council and its member Roosts have donated over $3,580,067 to charity. In addition, each Roost may apply for charity donation from the Council. Last year Roost #44 was given a $500.00 donation for Diakonia from the Council. At last week's Council meeting, Matthew Judon was present to accept the Council's Unsung Hero Award for 2017.
Currently,
the Council has almost 70 members in Maryland, Pennsylvania and
Virginia. The Council just approved an application from a city in
Germany - Roost #500. Groups from Seattle, Jacksonville and North
Carolina are also currently considering applying for membership in
the Council.
For
more information on the Council, like them on Facebook, go their
website at www.councilrr.com
or feel free to ask me for further information.
Remember
that we collect plastic grocery bags at every Roost meeting. These
bags are used by Diakonia (Local Food Bank & Homeless Shelter) to
distribute food contributions to the needy. My white Ford pickup
truck is parked in front of OC 360 at every Roost meeting. Simply put
your plastic bags (tied up tightly) in the bed of the truck. This is
a great way to recycle plastic bags for a good cause.

Anniversary in the OC

After dating a young lady for some time a young man decides it is time to marry her.
He
proceeds with all the necessary plans and finally the day comes.
On
the day of the wedding the young man has yet to pay the pastor for
performing the ceremony. However, the pastor has a plan.
The
service proceeds as planned the vows are exchanged etc. Now it is
time for the groom to kiss his bride. The pastor sees this as the
perfect opportunity to ask to be paid. He pulls the young man aside
and asks him. Can you please pay me?
Not
wanting to create a seen the young man asked. How much do I owe you?
The
pastor thinks quickly and replies, pay me according to your wife's
beauty.
The
young man discretely pulled out five dollars and gave it to the
pastor.
Although
annoyed by this, the pastor continues the ceremony and says; you may
now kiss the bride. At this point the veil is lifted from the brides
face to allow the groom to kiss her. As the groom is about to kiss
his new bride the pastor interrupts and promptly hands the groom four
dollars and fifty cents.
