·       Convention: I’m repeating some things; please bear with me.  The Council is planning to hold the Convention this year from Thursday, June 3 through Sunday, June 6th, at the Castle in the Sand Hotel.  I hope as many as possible can attend this year for the camaraderie that we’ve missed for so long.  The price is $60 per person and includes food and beverage packages Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and a souvenir package.  All registrations should be turned into me at the April meeting, along with your check made out to Ravens Roost #44.  Our Roost will have the same hospitality suite and we will work hard to make the convention as pleasant as possible.

 

From what I am reading, t-shirts will be available at the Convention.  I have no order forms for any of them.

 

So far, the activities that are scheduled are:  Lip Sync Battles—held on Thursday night, 2 groups only 2 songs, per Roost; the Convention Quest (scavenger hunt) Friday morning at the Castle; Bingo, Friday at 1 p.m., Karaoke, Friday evening; Corn Hole—bring your own bags, and teams are responsible for cleaning the boards after their game—Friday and Saturday at the Castle., up to 3 teams per Roost with 2 members per team.  Horseshoes—2-member teams, Friday and Saturday at the Castle.  Laser Tag will be held at Game World on 146th St., from 12-2 and 4-6, on Friday.  Miniature golf will be held Friday at 8:00 a.m. at Nick’s Golf on 45th St.  We can have two teams of 2 participating this year.  If you’re interested in any of these activities, you need to register for them by our May meeting, so please get in touch with me.  

 

I’ll be happy to provide you with the particulars when you register.  There is a registration form available from Frank.  You can print it out and mail it to me at 126 Pine Tree Rd., Ocean City, MD 21842, (along with your check made out to Ravens Roost 44) or hand it to me at the April meeting.  Please have your check ready to accompany your registration.  As always, if you have any questions, please call me at 410-251-4360.

·        A Priest and a Rabbi were sitting next to each other on an airplane.  After a while, the Priest turned to the Rabbi and asked, “Is it still a requirement of your faith that you not eat pork?”

The Rabbi responded, “Yes, that is still one of our laws.”

The Priest then asked, “Have you ever eaten pork?”

To which the Rabbi replied, “Yes, on one occasion I did succumb to temptation and tasted a ham sandwich.”

The Priest nodded in understanding and went on with his reading.  A while later, the Rabbi spoke up and asked the Priest, “Father, is it still a requirement of your church that you remain celibate?”

The Priest replied, “Yes, that is still very much a part of our faith.”

The Rabbi then asked him, “Father, have you ever fallen to the temptations of the flesh?”

The Priest replied, “Yes, Rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke my faith.”

The Rabbi nodded understandingly and remained silent, thinking, for about five minutes.  Finally, the Rabbi said, “Beats the shit out of a ham sandwich, doesn't it?”
