Convention:

This year’s Ravens Roost Council Convention is Thursday, May 30 thru Sunday, June 2, once again at the Castle in the Sand.  The cost of Registration is once again $70.

 

The convention is a great opportunity to share fellowship with Ravens fans from all over.  Ravens Roost 44 will, as always, have a hospitality suite located at Room 12, ground level, right next to the Castle in the Sand office, for conventioneers to enjoy.

 

The council requires registrations and shirt orders to be turned in at the April 19^th Council meeting, so that means we have to have all of our registrations and orders finalized by yhe end of our April 11^th monthly meeting.  This has now passed, but you can still participate in the convention, you will not be getting the goodie bag.  Contact Donna Chaplinski (410-627-7697) for more information.

 

Also think about any events you would wish to participate – There is Karaoke, Cuponk (like beer pong), Corn Hole, Mini Golf, Lip Sync, Volleyball, Bingo, Crazy Hat Parade, and possibly Horseshoes.

House:

Our permanent meeting host is the American Legion Post 166 located at Coastal Hwy and 23^rd streets.

 

Please enter through the handicapped door on the 23^rd street north side.  All membership meetings begin at 7:30pm on the second Thursday of each month.  However, all Roost members are invited to arrive early for food and drink specials at reasonable prices - a great place to have dinner before or during the meeting.  The Post only accepts cash for purchases.

 

The only likely changes to the meeting schedule are for an outside summer meeting at our annual family picnic and for a conflict at the post during the October bike week.

 

During football season we are invited to the Post for a game viewing party with the big projection screen along with tailgating food and drinks for sale.

 

Thanks,

Ron

          Good of the Roost:

Local Poop

·       Nothing special this week, but the bars and restaurants are heating up!  Go sit outside, enjoy an adult beverage, and listen to some live music!

 

Funny Poop

·       The dean of women at an exclusive girl's college was lecturing her students on sexual morality.  "In moments of temptation," said the speaker to the class, "ask yourself just one question: Is an hour of pleasure worth a lifetime of shame?"

A sweet young thing in the back of the room rose to ask: "How do you make it last an hour?"

 

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

The council requires registrations and shirt orders to be turned in at the April 19^th Council meeting, so that means we have to have all of our registrations and orders finalized by yhe end of our April 11^th monthly meeting.

 

Attached are the registration and shirt forms (the link to view the merchandise is http://ravensconvention2024.itemorder.com/)  Do not place any orders online.  Fill out your registrations and shirt orders and bring them to the April meeting.  Make all checks payable to Ravens Roost #44.  The Roost must place a single order for shirts and a single check for registrations, which is why it’s important to have your forms at the April 11^th meeting.  They will be turned over to Larry at the end of the meeting to be turned in to the Council, so no registrations or orders will be allowed afterward.  If you do wish to participate in the convention after this date, you will not be getting the goodie bag.

 

Also think about any events you would wish to participate – There is Karaoke, Cuponk (like beer pong), Corn Hole, Mini Golf, Lip Sync, Volleyball, Bingo, Crazy Hat Parade, and possibly Horseshoes.
