From the Prez
–
The Golf Scholarship Committee has
selected this years 2020 High School Recipient winners. Chairman Don McMullan will announce the
winners and
their respected schools.
It looks like we will go into June
unsure of any news for lifting any more of the restrictions with beaches,
boardwalks and some businesses open things might ease up for other activities.
The Ravens Council had a Zoom
meeting last Friday and basically nothing to report.
I’m still looking for volunteers
for fundraising committee and other interests in the Roost. Please contact me if interested.
No word on the picnic in June from
Ocean Pines or the Shorebirds game. White
Horse Park is closed for now. Carol
Munroe and Ron Apperson will have updates on both events.
This weekend is Memorial Day
weekend and with the current COVID-19 turmoil in the world please keep in mind
of all the men and women who sacrificed their lives for our country’s freedom.

member in need of a message of encouragement or a sympathy card for a family
member. Please, no texts or emails.
·
House:
As stated in the last three Poops, the Abbey Burger (which made an outstanding
offer in the winter) has decided not to reopen in 2020 and will be evaluating
2021. Our list of possible meeting
venues has gotten shorter. If considerations
of social distancing continue on, then Denney's that was marginal before may
now be off the list. Alley Oops may now
be marginal.
The
Board of Directors met recently and recommended that any meetings we might have
from now until the end of the season should be held at the American
Legion. They have been booked for May, June,
July, August and Sept if they happen.
Voting
for the "most of the time favorite" will of course be delayed and
will likely include only the American Legion (available all year) and Alley
Oops (off season only). Others would
likely be for emergencies only. Our
situation seems to be ever changing.
·
Scholarship Golf:
We would like to have the Scholarship Committee review 2020 College Scholarship
applications the middle of May.
Indian
River, Stephen Decatur and Worcester Preparatory high school counselors have
started mailing in applications for their seniors.

plan to announce the recipients the week of May 18th.

Good daily dose of Ravens news notes and nuggets here. It’s getting to the point where I can hardly
stand ESPN, but you can go here to stay up to date
with all of the AFC North news.

Everything is still cancelled. Practice you social distancing. We’ll get through this.
Funny Poop

John goes to the
deli for some soup. After he's seated
and about to eat he calls the waiter over.
When the waiter comes he says, "Taste this soup."
The waiter says, "Why, what's wrong with the soup?"
John says, "Taste this soup."
The waiter says, "John, you've come in here for thirty years and you always get the soup, you've never complained before."
John says, "Taste this soup."
The waiter says, "What? What is it? If you don't want the chicken soup we have other kinds - vegetable, Italian Minestrone?"
John says, "Taste this soup!"
The waiter finally agrees, "Fine John, fine! I'll taste the soup".
He leans over the table prepared to taste the soup, he hesitates and says, "Where's your spoon?"
"Exactly," says John, "Where's my bloody spoon?"

A woman and a
baby were in the doctor's examining room, waiting for the Doctor to come in for
the baby's first exam. The Doctor
arrived, examined the baby, checked his weight, and seeming a little concerned,
asked if the baby was breast-fed or bottle-fed.
"Breast-fed," she replied.
"Strip down to your waist," the Doctor said. She did. He pinched her nipples, then pressed, kneaded, and rubbed both breasts for a while in a detailed examination. Motioning her to get dressed, he said, "No wonder this baby is underweight, you don't have any milk."
"I know," she said, "I'm his Grandma, but I'm glad I came."
