  • Saturday, May 17 - Happy Hour/Mini Dance at Blue Ox on from 4-7 pm.  Booze & drinks on your own.  Music and fun! 
  • Friday, 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.  The Convention agenda is available here. 
Commemorative shirts are also available:  hoodies (men's sizes only) in gray or purple; men's 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.   
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.  All of the registration forms were to be submitted to me by the April 10 meeting.  You can still register, but you will not get the "goodie bag".  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. 
Any questions, please call me at 410-251-4360 or e-mail me at jelder10@verizon.net.

Frank 

 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
