Frank’s note: All items subject to change/cancellation
From the Prez –
Greetings to all…What can I say !! We go to Miami and stink up the place and play a somewhat decent game against the Bears and Win…I hoping Steve can figure this out…
Speaking of Miami Carol and myself had a great time and speaking with others in the Roost they all enjoyed themselves as well..except for the game…and again kudos to Gary Miller for putting it all together..
We have our Christmas party and meeting next month so please read Ron Apperson’s report…
As I announced at our last meeting Terri Schaefer will be the nominating chairperson..she will be asking for nominations or anyone seeking a position as President and Vice President…as I know they are the positions open..please see Terri if interested…nominations will be conducted in December..
As we all head into the Thanksgiving Holiday let’s be thankful for what we have and help others who are not as fortunate…
Be safe this weekend and enjoy it with family and friends..GO RAVENS

Funny Poop
I asked my wife if I was the only one she’d been with. She said yes. All the others had been nines and tens.
Etcetera
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.
