Weekly Poop 4/17/19



Roost #44 Poop
·         From the Prez
Scholarship Golf Tournament
We still need our members to beat the bushes and sign up sponsors and donations to the 22nd Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament being held on May 31st.  Informational materials on how you can help or donate are available at each Roost meeting.
Co-Chair Don McMullen and I want to thank the members who have stepped up to keep the Scholarship Golf Tournament going as one of the Roost's chief fund raisers - Fitz Lahner, Pat Lahner, Matt Herrmann, Mike Eder and Kim Eder.  Volunteers from previous years who stayed on to help include Bob Rose and Gary Miller.
As usual, we are looking for donations of beer, wine and liquor for the Basket of Cheer for the luncheon.  Donations will be picked up at the April and May Roost meetings.  Members are also encouraged to sign up a T Sign Sponsor, make an individual donation or donate special sports memorabilia you may want to contribute for the luncheon held after the Tournament.
We also need volunteers to help get materials ready the day before the Tournament and to help run the Tournament at the Ocean Pines Golf Course.  Come join us, it’s fun!  See Don or Eric to see how you can contribute and help.
Remember that your Roost Membership card entitles you to a 20% discount on food, beverage & apparel purchases at the Original Greene Turtle. We encourage Roost members and Roost Committees to patronize the Original Greene Turtle. By the way, the Original Greene Turtle is a major sponsor of our College Golf Scholarship Tournament every year and we appreciate their support.
My white Ford pickup truck will be at the next meeting.  The back will be open if you would like to donate plastic bags to Diakonia (local food bank and homeless shelter).  The bags are used to help distribute food contributions to the needy.  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.

Funny Poop
·         A lady went to the bar on a cruise ship, and ordered a Scotch, with two drops of water.  The bartender gave her the drink, and she said, "I'm on this cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday, and it's today."
The bartender said, "Well, since it's your birthday, this one's on me."
As the lady finished her drink, a woman, to her right, said, "I'd like to buy you a drink, too."  The lady said, "Thank you, how sweet of you. OK, then, Bartender, I want another Scotch, with two drops of water."
"Coming up," said the bartender.
As she finished that drink, a man, to her left, said, "I'd like to buy you a drink too."  The lady said, "Thank you very much, my dear.  Bartender, I'll have another Scotch, with two drops of water."
"Coming right up," the bartender said.
As he gave her the drink, this time, he said, "Ma'am, I'm dying of curiosity.  Why the Scotch with only two drops of water?"
The old woman giggled, and replied, "Sonny, when you're my age, you've learned how to hold your liquor.  Water, however, is a whole other issue."
Etcetera
