  • Roost Apparel:  We have enough people to place our purple Hawaiian shirt order (yay!!) and are aiming to submit the order August 9th (the day after the next Roost meeting) so we have them in plenty of time for the start of our season and the Miami game.  If you haven't ordered one yet and still want one, it's not too late!  Send Maggie an email to get on the list (millermaggie@mchsi.com) and a check for $40 made out to Ravens Roost 44.  You can mail the check to her at 15 Windward Court, Ocean Pines, MD 21811.  For those of you who already paid - thank you!

I'm sorry but these are too expensive to expect the Roost to foot the bill and wait for reimbursement.  "No checkie by August 8th, no shirtie".  Don't get left out because August 9th is this is the last time we'll be ordering these for a while.    Aloha!

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
