I would like to start off our New Year with a good attendance and have our committee chairs there to go over our goals and plans for the coming year..

 

As the Ravens season came to a close on Sunday I was proud of the team for overcoming injuries and health issues..but I feel there will be a better team in 2022 ..with some tweaking..I’ll leave the rest for Coach Steve Szalsa.

Funny Poop

Pappy sees Elmer walking with a lantern and asks, "Where ya going boy?"

The son smiled and replied, "I'm a-going courting Peggy-Sue."

The Father said, "When I went a-courtin', I didn't need me no dang lantern."

"Sure Pa, I know." the boy said. "And look what you got!”

 

Etcetera

 Got Poop?  Let me know!  I’m going to try to get this out every Wednesday so if you get it to me by Tuesday, I’ll try to include it.  Your input is appreciated.

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
