Membership:
We have 84 paid members.
Thanks to all members who continue to make this one of the best
and largest Ravens Roosts in the world!

collecting dues for 2024. Dues remain
$40 per year. Please make checks payable
to Ravens Roost #44.
If you cannot make the meeting, you can mail the dues to me:
Susan Berterman

Bishopville, MD 21813
Convention:
This year’s Ravens Roost Council Convention is Thursday, May
30 thru Sunday, June 2, once again at the Castle in the Sand. The cost of Registration is once again $70.
The convention is a great opportunity to share fellowship
with Ravens fans from all over. Ravens Roost 44 will, as always, have a hospitality suite located at Room 12, ground level,
right next to the Castle in the Sand office, for conventioneers to enjoy.
The council requires registrations and shirt orders to be
turned in at the April 19th Council meeting, so that means we have
to have all of our registrations and orders finalized by yhe end of our April
11th monthly meeting.
Attached are the registration and shirt forms (the link to
view the merchandise is http://ravensconvention2024.itemorder.com/)
Do not place any orders online. Fill out your registrations and shirt orders
and bring them to the April meeting.
Make all checks payable to Ravens Roost #44. The Roost must place a single order for
shirts and a single check for registrations, which is why it’s important to
have your forms at the April 11th meeting.
Also think about any events you would wish to participate –
There is Karaoke, Cuponk (like beer pong), Corn Hole, Mini Golf, Lip Sync,
Volleyball, Bingo, Crazy Hat Parade, and possibly Horseshoes.

Looking for ideas! Can
be pertinent to this years theme (60 years of the Colts Corrals/Ravens Roosts)
or something else. Let’s put our heads
together and come up with something fun!
Email Susan maxao1@icloud.com with your thoughts!

We have a few choices for away games. Decisions where to go will be made after
schedule is released.
·
Any suggestions for future activities are very
welcome. 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!!
Our permanent
meeting host is the American Legion Post 166 located at Coastal Hwy and 23rd
streets.
Please enter
through the handicapped door on the 23rd 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

· The other night, I was invited out
for a night with "the girls." I
told my husband that I would be home by midnight. "I promise," were my last words.
The hours passed and the margaritas
went down way too easily and around 3 a.m. we piled into a cab and headed to
our respective homes, quite inebriated.
Just as I walked through the door,
the cuckoo clock in the hall started up and cuckooed 3 times! Realizing that my husband would probably wake
up to this, I quickly cuckooed another 9 times. I was quite pleased with myself for coming up
with such a quick witted solution to cover up my tardiness. Even with my impaired judgment, I could count
3 cuckoos plus 9 cuckoos equaled 12 cuckoos!
The next morning, my husband asked
me what time I got in, and confidently, I replied, "Midnight...like I
promised." He didn't even raise and
eyebrow and went on reading the morning paper! Phew! Got
away with that one!
After a moment, he then replied,
"I think we might need a new cuckoo clock."
A bit nervously, I asked him why,
to which he responded:
"Well, last night our clock
cuckooed 3 times, then said, 'Oh, crap,' cuckooed 4 more times, cleared it's
throat, cuckooed another 3 times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, then tripped
over the coffee table and farted."

Go in and strike with Ravens pride
