Roost #44 Poop
·
From the Prez
– The next Roost Meeting is at our regular meeting spot at OC 360 in the
Fenwick Inn on March 8th at 7:30. At the meeting we will have sign up sheets
for volunteers to work the Beer Booth at Springfest.
Remember that your Roost Membership card entitles you to a 20% discount
on food, beverage & apparel purchases at the Original Greene Turtle (116th
St.). We encourage all Roost members and
committees to patronize the Original Greene Turtle!
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.

This is an
opportunity to get to know other Roosts and to get to know our own members
better. We especially welcome our newer members to participate this year, and
hope those who have attended before will come back. There are lots of activities during the
weekend, including horseshoes, volleyball, a scavenger hunt, bingo, etc. More info on those will come at a later date.
I'll be happy
to answer any questions you may have at the meeting, or any time. Please e-mail me at jelder1076@gmail.com,

Good daily dose of Ravens news notes and nuggets here. It’s
getting to the point where I can hardly stand ESPN, but I do go Jamison
Hensley’s Blog here to stay up to date with all of the AFC North

Funny Poop
·
It was a stifling hot day and a
man fainted in the middle of a busy intersection. Traffic quickly piled up in all directions,
so a woman rushed to help him. When she
knelt down to loosen his collar, a man emerged from the crowd, pushed her
aside, and said, "It's all right honey, I've had a course in first
aid."
The woman stood
up and watched as he took the ill man's pulse and prepared to administer
artificial respiration. At this point
she tapped him on the shoulder and said, "When you get to the part about
calling a doctor, I'm already here."

Got poop? Let me
know! I’m going to try to get this out
every Wednesday so if you get it to me by Tuesday I’ll try to include it. Your input is appreciated.
