House:
The June meeting will be held @ Bourbon Street on the Beach,
12601 Coastal Hwy, Ocean City, MD 21842 (old home of Abby Burger, behind the Holiday
Inn and in front of Northside Park). I’m
sure Ron will have more details in the upcoming weeks.
· Convention: Starts
next Thursday. See you there! Sue and I expect to get down to the Castle in
the Sand on Thursday around lunchtime and will set up the Hospitality room as
soon as they allow us in, so figure the room to open, say, 4pm. Figure on the room opening 12 pm on Friday and
Saturday (actually we're early risers, so it'll be open sooner, but I think
we're playing mini golf on Friday morning, so we won't open until we get back). Looking forward to seeing everyone there. I hope hot dry weather will be around that
weekend for us!
· Apparel: The
Ravens Roost 44 on line store will be open on July 1, 2021. Orders will be shipped to your home during
the month of August, To access the store
the link is Ravensroost44.itemorder.com.
Thanks, Rich Hansen.
· Entertainment:
o The first
summer raft up is scheduled for this Saturday, 5/29. Right
now, the weather is looking iffy, with a high of 64 and a 55% chance of
thunderstorms. Use your best
judgement. The meeting location is here:
o The date for the picnic with White Horse park on Saturday July 17th from 10:00am-5:00pm.
o Road Trip: As of yesterday,
this is the latest update from Gary: I was able to reserve 40 tickets for the
Ravens vs Dolphins game. We have 2 full
rows in section 328 which is in an upper corner near the Ravens side of the
stadium. Good news is that the
escalators from the ground level are next to our section so there won't be a
lot of stairs to climb.
The concession stands
are nearby as well. The ticket price is
a little less than what I estimated but I am waiting to get a confirmation on
the cost of the bus before making any changes to the balance owed for the game
package (ticket, bus, shirt, koozie). I
hope to have an exact number in the next week or so and at that point I will
let everyone know what the balance of their payment is.
As of right now, 19 of
the 20 rooms have been booked and we have 38 people in our group. I am still waiting for a couple deposits to
come in but I suspect that slow mail service is the cause of the delay.
With the game being
shown on Thursday night in primetime on national TV, this is turning into a big
game with lots of interest and the trip should be a blast.
Let me know if you
have any questions.

· Good of the Roost: - Hey Ravens women, let's get together and meet for lunch at a local
restaurant or picnic at a park. Some of
our guys have been doing this pre pandemic for a while so I thought it'd be
good for us women to get to know each other and to have a "girls day"
out. Contact Donna at 410-627-7697. If we have enough interest, we can pick a date
and time. Thanks.

Funny Poop
·
Bob and his three golf buddies were out playing and
were just starting on the back nine when Bob paused, looked down the fairway
and began to sob uncontrollably.
The other three gathered around him and asked:
"What's wrong?"
Bob looked down at his feet, sniffed and dried his
eyes some, then apologized for his emotional outburst. "Im sorry, I always get emotional at this
hole - it holds very difficult memories for me."
One of his buddies asked, "What happened? What could have gotten you so upset?"
Bob stared silently off in the distance, then said
in a low voice,"This is where my wife and I were playing 12 years ago when
she suddenly died of a heart attack; right at this very hole."
"Oh my God", the other golfers said. "That must have been horrible!"
"Horrible?! You think it`s horrible?" Bob continued still very distressed. "It was worse than that! Every hole for the rest of the day, all the
way back to the clubhouse, it was hit the ball, drag Alice, hit the ball, drag
Alice..."
