Entertainment:

· Annual Roost 44 picnic Saturday, July 20th from 12 to 5 pm at Moose on Rt 20. Roost members will pay $12 pp and receive 3 drink tickets for beer only. Any beer after that is $2. Non members will pay $20, no drink tickets. We will have the usual hamburgers, hot dogs, Italian sausages and fixings. Donations of home made salads would be appreciated as well as home made desserts. Sign up sheet will be set out at April's mtg.

· Still working on next cruise.

· 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!!

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

Good of the Roost:

· Ravens Roost #44 has won many trophies over the last 25 years, a majority of which Gary Miller had graciously stored in his storage locker. Gary would like to find a new home for them. Anyone with any ideas where they can be stored (or displayed, preferably), please contact Gary @ 443.618.9972. garywm1952@gmail.com

· Ravens Roost #44 will have a table set up at the inaugural Ocean Pines 2024 Season Kick-Off and Expo @ White Horse Park on Saturday, April 20, from 3pm to 7pm. We will be trying to recruit members, golfers, and penguin swimmers! Stop on by!

Local Poop

· Nothing real special going on this weekend but there is still a lot of off season specials and entertainment to enjoy!

Funny Poop

· A lady walks into the drug store and asks the druggist for some arsenic. The druggist asks, "Ma'am, what do you want with arsenic?"

The lady says, "To kill my husband."

"I can't sell you any for that reason," says the druggist.

The lady then reaches into her purse and pulls out a photo of a man and a woman in a compromising position, the man is her husband and the lady is the druggist's wife, and shows it to the druggist.

He looks at the photo and says, "Oh I didn't know you had a prescription!"

Etcetera
