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.
You can still
participate in the convention, but you will not be getting the goodie bag. Contact Donna Chaplinski (410-627-7697)

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

Ravens Roost #44 has won many trophies over the last 25

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 @

Funny Poop
· I saw a contractor's truck that
offered free quotes. So I asked for one.
He said, "To be or not to be, that is the question."
Etcetera
