Silent auction items needed
Mailing have went out to sponsors and
golfers through the scholarship committee.
Please let members know that they can go to our website www.ocravensroost44.com to download letter to sponsors and
golfers as well as tee sponsorship forms and golfers registration forms.
In addition members can start to
bring bottle donations for our basket of cheers for the silent auctions, June
2nd.
A total fo six scholarships are
awarded by Ravens Roost #44 to the three local high schools. To fund those six scholarships, the Roost
donates $15,000. Each year the goal of
the Roost’s golf Tournament is to raise at least $15,000.
Most of the proceeds from the Golf
Tournament are raised through sponsors and individual Tee sponsorship. The Roost’s golf tournament can support up to
128 golfers. Last year there were 96
golfers. Most of the entry fee for a
golfer is used to defer the cost of running the tournament. The portion of the golf entry fee after
expenses are deducted to help fund the $15,000 donation is between
#20-$30. Depending on the number of
golfers participating on the Roost’s tournament, a total of between $3000 to
$3800 would be applied to the fund.

Thank you to the members who have
sent in your Tee Sponsor form and donation.
There is still time to Sponsor a Tee.
Perhaps you can reach out to family members or consider sponsoring a Tee
if you have not sent in the Tee sponsorship form.
Tee sponsorship reduces the reliance
on sponsorship. 100 Tee sponsors
provides $10,000 toward our goal. That
gets us 2/3 of the way to the goal.
Please conside sponsoring a Tee and
reaching out to family and friends for tee sponsorship and to play in the
tournament.
Thank you for your attention and your
support of this major fund-raiser.

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
