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 September 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 little boy went to the store with his grandmother and on the way home, he was looking at the things she had purchased.  He found a package of panty hose and began to sound out the words "QUEEN SIZE".  He then turned to his grandmother and exclaimed, "Look Granny, YOU wear the same size as our bed!"

 

 

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
