A 15th table can be setup if it is needed. All promised money + new money must be turned in at the March meeting to get your choice of available seat locations unless special arrangements are made. Volunteers are still needed to sell 50/50 tickets & to work at the money wheel. Please sign the sheet.

- May 30 - Ravens Roost #44 17th Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament @ Ocean Pines Golf & Country Club. Registration forms can be had here. We are expecting another sell out, so be sure to sign up early - don’t get shut out as some did last year.
- May 29 thru June 1 - The Council of Ravens Roosts Annual Convention. From Jo Ann: The Council of Baltimore Ravens Roosts Convention begins Thursday, May 29, and ends Sunday, June 1, at the Castle in the Sand Motel. The theme this year is “Celebrating 50 Years of Fan-Tastic Baltimore Football. The cost this year is $60 per registrant. A registration form is available here.
Commemorative shirts are also available: hoodies (mens sizes only) in gray or purple; mens t-shirts and tanks, and women’s t-shirts and tanks, available in white, gray or purple. Prices range from $11.00 for t-shirts and tanks to $20 for the hoodies. Larger sizes (2, 3, 4, & 5 XL) are an additional $2 or more.
I haven’t received a schedule of events yet, but in years past there were team events that any registered participant could enter, such as horseshoes, volleyball, tug-of-war, a scavenger hunt, bingo, miniature golf, and karaoke. Please think about organizing a team to show off our talent. Specific information and sign-up sheets will be available at the April meeting, so talk to your Roost friends and come up with a team to participate.
All of the registration forms must be submitted to me by the April 10 meeting. Make checks payable to Ravens Roost 44, and give to me at the meeting, or mail to 126 Pine Tree Rd., Ocean City, MD 21842. Please remember: Everyone who attends must be registered. There is no “sharing” of food and beverage.
I encourage our new members, as well as the members who have been in the Roost for a while, to attend the Convention. It is a great way to spend some time with our own Roost members and to meet fans from other Roosts. And, it’s always a lot of fun.
- Dues are due. From Jo Ann: Dues are past due - if you haven’t paid by now you are in arrears. Mail them to me at: Jo Ann Elder, 126 Pine Tree Rd., Ocean City, MD 21842. If you have any questions, please e-mail me at: jelder10@verizon.net, or call me at 410-250-5124. Thanks.

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
