• From John Lennon: I am now the Vice President of Ravens Roost #134.  I was drafted not vigorously pursuing this position.  I joined this roost because it was closer to my home.  I have two tickets plus the bus, for the 09/28 (Panthers) game.  I also have an individual ticket and bus for a number of games.  I am seeking my cost. Is it permissible to for you to mention this availability in one of your e-mails to 44 members? Our roost is small in number at the present time so interest in my tickets is limited.  If this is permissible, please provide my e-mail address of jflennon1@verizon.net.  Thanks!  John

 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
