Our permanent meeting host is the
American Legion Post 166 located at Coastal Hwy and 23rd Street. At the request of the Legion, meetings will now be on the first Tuesday of
each month.
Roost members please enter through
the handicap door on the 23rd street north side.
Be sure to sign in at the table at
the door.
The general membership meeting starts
promptly at 7:30. There may be some
committee
meetings going on before that. However, members are invited and encouraged
to arrive as
early as 6:00 to enjoy drinks and
food specials The Post kitchen stays
open until 7:30 on
our meeting nights to accommodate
us. This is a great time to enjoy the
facility and engage
with other members. The Post accepts cash only.
It looks like we will have the usual
setup for tailgate parties for the Sunday 1:00 games in the hall with food and
drinks available for purchase off the menu or buffet.

and Bylaws:
·
Members,
Please review the following proposal (attached) to change the Roost bylaws. The change simply removes the specific day of
the week that monthly meetings will take place. This will allow any future changes to the
meeting dates to take place without needing additional changes to the bylaws. The first public reading of the proposal was
at the Aug. 14th meeting and will be read again at the Sept. 2nd meeting, then
a vote for approval will be held at the October 7th meeting.

Funny Poop
One lovely morning, Ben and Thomas
were out golfing. Ben slices his ball
deep into a wooded ravine. He grabs his
8-iron and proceeds down the embankment into the ravine in search of his ball. Ben searches diligently through the thick
underbrush and suddenly he spots something shiny. As he gets closer, he realizes that the shiny
object is in fact an 8-iron in the hands of a skeleton lying near an old golf
ball. Ben excitedly calls out to his
golfing partner: "Hey Thomas, come here, I got big trouble down
here."
Thomas comes running over to the edge of the ravine and calls
out, "What's the matter Ben?"
Ben shouts back in a nervous voice, "Throw me my 7-iron!
Looks like you can't get out of here with an 8-iron."
