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.  In November, there are 1:00 pm games on the 9th at Minnesota, and the 23rd vs. NY Jets.

Funny Poop

It was a stifling hot day and a man fainted in the middle of a busy intersection.  Traffic quickly piled up in all directions, and a woman rushed to help him.  As she knelt down to loosen his collar, a man emerged from the crowd, pushed her aside, and said, "It's all right, Honey, I've had a course in first aid."

The woman stood up and watched as he took the ill man's pulse and prepared to administer artificial respiration.  At this point she tapped him on the shoulder and said, "When you get to the part about calling a doctor, I'm already here."

 

 

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.

Baltimore Ravens, let’s go

And put that ball across the line

So, fly with talons spread wide

Go in and strike with Ravens pride

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Ravens dark wings take flight

Dive in and show them your might

For Baltimore and Maryland

You will fly on to victory
