Thanks to all members who continue to make this one of the best and largest Ravens Roosts in the world!

If you cannot make the meeting, you can mail the dues to me:

Susan Berterman

12290 Dixie Drive

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.

 

Parade:

Convention Parade:

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!

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 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

Funny Poop

·       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."

 

Etcetera

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
