Convention: I’m
repeating some things; please bear with me.
The Council is planning to hold the Convention this year from Thursday,
June 3 through Sunday, June 6th, at the Castle in the Sand
Hotel. I hope as many as possible can
attend this year for the camaraderie that we’ve missed for so long. The price is $60 per person and includes food
and beverage packages Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and a souvenir
package. All registrations should be
turned into me at the April meeting, along with your check made out to Ravens
Roost #44. Our Roost will have the same
hospitality suite and we will work hard to make the convention as pleasant as
possible.
From what I am reading, t-shirts will be
available at the Convention. I have no
order forms for any of them.
So far, the activities that are scheduled
are: Lip Sync Battles—held on Thursday
night, 2 groups only 2 songs, per Roost; the Convention Quest (scavenger hunt)
Friday morning at the Castle; Bingo, Friday at 1 p.m., Karaoke, Friday evening;
Corn Hole—bring your own bags, and teams are responsible for cleaning the
boards after their game—Friday and Saturday at the Castle., up to 3 teams per
Roost with 2 members per team.
Horseshoes—2-member teams, Friday and Saturday at the Castle. Laser Tag will be held at Game World on 146th
St., from 12-2 and 4-6, on Friday.
Miniature golf will be held Friday at 8:00 a.m. at Nick’s Golf on 45th
St. We can have two teams of 2
participating this year. If you’re
interested in any of these activities, you need to register for them by our May
meeting, so please get in touch with me.
I’ll be happy to provide you with the
particulars when you register. There is
a registration form available from Frank.
You can print it out and mail it to me at 126 Pine Tree Rd., Ocean City,
MD 21842, (along with your check made out to Ravens Roost 44) or hand it to me
at the April meeting. Please have your
check ready to accompany your registration.
As always, if you have any questions, please call me at 410-251-4360.
Thanks, everyone. Let’s really try to make this the best one
ever.

My doctor has advised me to stop drinking.
It's going to be a massive change for me.
I've been with that doctor for 15 years.
