Penguin
Swim: The OC Ravens Roost #44 “Penguin Swim Team” is
once again raising money for Atlantic General Hospital as part of their 27th
Annual Penguin Swim which takes place at the Princess Royal Hotel on New Years
Day. Last year we raised over $14,700
and the total raised by the Team in the past twelve years is $126,991.
This is my 13th year as a member of
the OC Ravens Roost #44 Penguin Swim Team.
We normally hold several fundraising events throughout the year in
addition to personal donations collected from friends and neighbors. This year, due to the Covid-19 concerns and
restrictions, we have been restricted to just doing a raffle and one
fundraising event at The Shrimp Boat in West OC on Fri. & Sat. 10/30-31. This has greatly restricted our fundraising
efforts and made our personal requests for donations much more important. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated!!
The
AGH Penguin Swim helps the hospital support a wide variety of programs and
services. Last year, the hospital
provided community benefits worth over $12 million. These benefits included health screenings,
community education, immunizations, seminars and meetings, support groups and
financial assistance.
You
can be sure that your donation will be used where it is needed most to help the
hospital accomplish its mission: To create a coordinated care delivery system
that will provide access to quality care, personalized service and education to
improve individual and community health.
Please
make a donation to support my participation, along with the entire OC Ravens
Roost 44 Team's effort to help this very worthy cause, our non-profit community
hospital. Simply go to "www.aghpenguinswim.org", scroll down the left side of the page and click
on "Search All Teams” Then click on
“OC Ravens Roost 44”. Scroll down to
“Team Members” and click on the name of the penguin you want to donate to (ME
or Maggie) then fill out the requested info.
Remember,
whether you live here or just visit the OC area, if you have a medical issue
while here, you will probably wind up at Atlantic General Hospital. Help to make it the very best it can be.
We
appreciate your help!
Thanks,
Gary
& Maggie

Little
Nancy was in the garden filling in a hole when her neighbor peered over the
fence. Interested in what the cheeky-faced youngster was up to, he politely
asked, "What are you doing there, Nancy?"
"My goldfish died," replied Nancy tearfully without looking up,
"and I've just buried him."
The neighbor was very concerned. "That's an awfully big hole for a
goldfish, isn't it?"
Nancy patted down the last heap of dirt then replied, "That's
because he's inside your fricking cat."
