From the Prez –
Hope
everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving. Our
Christmas Party comes up right after Thanksgiving on December 7th at the Big
Easy. Our last 2018 Roost meeting will
be December 13th at OC 360. Please bring
a contribution of canned goods to the December 13th meeting. The canned goods will be donated to Diakonia,
the local food bank and homeless shelter. My white Ford pick up truck will be parked out
front to accept canned food donations and plastic bags as usual. I'm thankful for all the friends I have met by
being a member of Roost #44!!!!! GO
RAVENS!!!

QUILT RAFFLE

haven't already purchased raffle tickets for the beautiful handmade Roost quilt
that Martha Worthington made, please contact Donna Chaplinski 410-627-7697 or
myself at 410-598-4597 as soon as possible. The tickets are only $5.00 and only 300 will

effort for the Roost in 2018. We could
use more volunteers to help sell the tickets ASAP!

was selected as Chairman of the Nominating Committee at the November Roost

the meeting. The following positions are
vacant:

If you

step up and provide leadership for the Roost. Nominations will be closed at the December
meeting and the election will be held at the Roost Meeting on January 10, 2019.
SCHOLARSHIP
COMMITTEE
As you
probably know, after many years of leading our Scholarship Committee that
provides thousands of dollars each year through our Golf Tournament, Marc
Grimes is stepping down. Along with
Marc, there are several other members who have worked for years to make this
such a successful program. Many of them
are also stepping down after volunteering more than their share of time and
effort. Along with the Penguin Swim, the
Scholarship Committee is one of the two major charitable programs that the
Roost conducts each year.
In 2019,
we will continue this Tournament. We are looking for volunteers and "new
blood" to join the Committee. It's
an excellent way to get involved with the Roost. Don McMullen and I will cochair the committee.
We already have some volunteers - Steve Szlasa,
Gary Miller, Mike Eder, Pat Ladner and Fritz Ladner. I've talked with Marc and we will hold a
Transition Meeting in January to get his input and expertise in planning next
year's Tournament. Stay tuned and think
about volunteering yourself.

Funny Poop
·
An elderly man and woman meet in a bar and get to
talking. They are enjoying their
conversation so much that, when the bar closes, they decide to continue at the
woman's apartment. After a time, things
start getting pretty romantic and they wind up in bed. Afterward, they're both laying there, staring
at the ceiling.
The old man is thinking..."Gosh, if I had known
she was a virgin, I would have been more careful with her."
The old lady is thinking..."Geez, if I had
known he could get it up, I would have taken off my pantyhose."
