Entertainment:

·       Working on next Annual RR 44 cruise.  It will be in 2025, most likely in Spring, or early Summer.  I am away til April meeting.  I hopefully will have more information.  Any ideas for future outings, text Donna at 410-627-7697.  Thanks!

 

·       The Entertainment Committee is hosting a special event to raise money for our Roost.  Please mark your calendar for Wednesday March 27th for a fun evening with friends and Roost members at Pancho & Lefty's in west OC. 

A portion of the profits that night will be donated to Ravens Roost 44.  We will also have a 50/50 raffle and a door prize will be awarded to one lucky guest.  Since this is a fundraiser FOR OUR ROOST, please invite your friends, neighbors, and workmates to attend.

"The more the merrier", AND, the more that attend, the more will be donated to RR44!!

 

House:

Our permanent meeting host is the American Legion Post 166 located at Coastal Hwy and 23^rd streets.

 

Please enter through the handicapped door on the 23^rd street north side.  All membership meetings begin at 7:30pm on the second Thursday of each month.  However, all Roost members are invited to arrive early for food and drink specials at reasonable prices - a great place to have dinner before or during the meeting.  The Post only accepts cash for purchases.

 

The only likely changes to the meeting schedule are for an outside summer meeting at our annual family picnic and for a conflict at the post during the October bike week.

 

During football season we are invited to the Post for a game viewing party with the big projection screen along with tailgating food and drinks for sale.

 

Thanks,

Ron

Funny Poop

A man complains to his wife about not having anyone to play golf with.

His wife said, “Well what about your friend Clyde?”

The man replied, “Would you want to play with someone who cheats on his score and moves the ball when you aren’t looking?”

“No, I guess not,” replied his wife.

The man said, “Neither would Clyde.”

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
