Special thanks to Donna Tony Sue and Frank for all their efforts in making the picnic a huge success .  Also the many that helped too many to name.

We all had a great time and everyone enjoyed themselves.  Great food, plenty of beer, horseshoes and cornhole.  For those who left early you missed the sing along, lots of fun.

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

Good of the Roost:

·       Ravens Roost #44 has won many trophies over the last 25 years, a majority of which Gary Miller had graciously stored in his storage 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 @ 443.618.9972.  garywm1952@gmail.com

 

·       From former Roost member Tanja Sas: 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

Funny Poop

A lawyer calls a plumber for help...

The plumber assesses the situation and says, "I can fix it today for $800."

The lawyer, surprised, asks, "How long will it take?"

The plumber replies, "I'll need about an hour to get a part from the supply house and another hour to do the repair."

The lawyer, smirking, says, "Two hours for $800?  That's $400 per hour!  I'm a lawyer, and I charge $350 per hour!"

The plumber nods and says, "Yes, I understand. That's why I left my law practice."

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
