Shorebirds game w/ Hardball Cafe Buffet: 
We need to get a real good estimate on how many are interested in this event because of a minimum requirement to book reservations & also to pay a required deposit of 30%.  At this point this date is available for us. 
The Hardball Cafe is a section behind home plate with reserved seating at tables & chairs to eat, drink & watch the game with a buffet of hamburgers, Esskay hot dogs, BBQ Purdue chicken legs, mac & cheese, watermelon, popcorn & n/a drinks.  Since this is also a "Thirsty Thursday" promotion, CL & ML 16 0z. beers & Pepsi products will be just $2.  Total cost is $27pp which includes the game ticket. 
Please consider this & be prepared to sign up at the next meeting. If we get a good count we can go ahead with booking & ask for some money up front at the March meeting.  At this point a bus is not planned unless we get a school type bus as a favor for gas cost, driver tip & a free admission.

Funny Poop 
  • A lady was walking down the street to work and she saw a parrot on a perch in front of a pet store.  The parrot said to her, “Hey lady, you are really ugly.”  Well, the lady is furious!  She stormed past the store to her work. 
On the way home she saw the same parrot and it said to her, “Hey lady, you are really ugly.”  She was incredibly ticked now.  The next day the same parrot again said to her, “Hey lady, you are really ugly.” 
The lady was so ticked that she went into the store and said that she would sue the store and kill the bird.  The store manager replied profusely and promised he would make sure the parrot didn’t say it again. 
When the lady walked past the store that day after work the parrot called to her, “Hey lady.” 
She paused and said, “Yes?” 
The bird said, “You know.”

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
