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 September bike week.

It's going to be very crowded at the Legion due to the WM Tournament and the roof bar may have to be closed. Advise members who want to eat either arrive early or stay later. Kitchen will be open till 9. Our meetings usually end before 8;30.

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

I am trying to find someone who would like to go the Bengals November 7th Thursday night game. I just bought PSL for first time and really want to go, but driving that far with my replacement body parts is difficult, plus I want to enjoy the game with someone.

My seats are in row 2 of the NEW ON-FIELD seats that are brand new this year (located around 20 yard line in the end zone area the Ravens practice before the games, on the Ravens side of the field. See attached. I also have parking in the lots closest to Gate A.

I am looking for someone that would like to go to the game with me and drive me there and back and be relatively sober to do so.

Given my handicapped body, I would like to be in an SUV style vehicle, not a small sedan type car.

My other ticket would be the driver's free of charge.

Thank you,

Tonja Sas
