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

We’d like to get a 57-passenger bus for this.

 

Ends up being about $475/person

 

Includes all food/beer/wine/seltzer/soda for 2 hours before game, bus transportation and a ticket to the game.  Also, Poe, the Cheerleaders and the Marching band would visit the tent while we all eat and enjoy some beverages. Seats would be in first 3 rows of 500 level.

 

Let me know if your Ravens Roost folks would be interested, please

 

Thanks,
Kevin

Funny Poop

One day a teacher had a taste test with her students.  She picked a little boy to do the first test.  She blindfolded him, put a Hershey kiss in his mouth and asked, "Do you know what it is?

"No, I don't," said the little boy

"Okay, I'll give you a clue.  It's the thing your daddy wants from your Mom before he goes to work."

Suddenly, a little girl at the back of the room yelled, "Spit it out! It's a piece of ass!"

 

 

Etcetera

·       Got Poop?  Let me know!  I’m going to try to get this out every Wednesday so if you get it to me by Tuesday, I’ll try to include it.  Your input is appreciated.

 

·       Be sure to visit our website - www.OCRavensRoost44.com or go to our blog @ http://ravensroost44.blogspot.com/ for the latest news, notes and nuggets.

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
