Please read the committee reports since they may have important updates..

 

Our coach Raven Steve has written a good article on Sunday’s win over the Steelers..

 

At our next meeting on January 12th if you’re planning to attend ..please bring can goods and non perishable items to give at a local food bank..I’ll keep reminding since I forgot mine at the last meeting..

Funny Poop

·       A woman in her forties went to a plastic surgeon for a face-lift.  The surgeon told her about a new procedure called "The Knob" where a small knob is placed on the top of a woman's head and can be turned to tighten up her skin to produce the effect of a brand-new face lift.  Of course, the woman wanted "The Knob".

Over the course of the years, the woman tightened the knob, and the effects were wonderful, the woman remained young looking and vibrant.  After fifteen years, the woman returned to the surgeon with two problems: "I've had to turn the knob many times and I've always loved the results.  But now I've developed two annoying problems: First, I have these terrible bags under my eyes and the knob won't get rid of them".

The doctor looked at her closely and said "Those aren't bags, those are your breasts".

She said "Well, I guess there's no point in asking about the goatee".

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
