·       Wellness: Please contact Carol Monroe at carol.munroe@hotmail.com if you know of a Roost member in need of a message of encouragement or a sympathy card for a family member.

 

·       House: The June meeting will be held @ Bourbon Street on the Beach, 12601 Coastal Hwy, Ocean City, MD 21842 (old home of Abby Burger, behind the Holiday Inn and in front of Northside Park).  I’m sure Ron will have more details in the upcoming weeks.

 

·       Convention: Starts tomorrow.  See you there!  Sue and I expect to get down to the Castle in the Sand on Thursday around lunchtime and will set up the Hospitality room as soon as they allow us in, so figure the room to open, say, 4pm.  Figure on the room opening 12 pm on Friday and Saturday (actually we're early risers, so it'll be open sooner, but I think we're playing mini golf on Friday morning, so we won't open until we get back).  Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

 

·       Apparel: The Ravens Roost 44 on line store will be open on July 1, 2021.  Orders will be shipped to your home during the month of August,  To access the store the link is Ravensroost44.itemorder.com.  Thanks, Rich Hansen.

 

·       Entertainment:

o   The date for the picnic with White Horse park on Saturday July 17th from 10:00am-5:00pm.

o   Road Trip: As of last week, this is the latest update from Gary: I was able to reserve 40 tickets for the Ravens vs Dolphins game.  We have 2 full rows in section 328 which is in an upper corner near the Ravens side of the stadium.  Good news is that the escalators from the ground level are next to our section so there won't be a lot of stairs to climb.

 

The concession stands are nearby as well.  The ticket price is a little less than what I estimated but I am waiting to get a confirmation on the cost of the bus before making any changes to the balance owed for the game package (ticket, bus, shirt, koozie).  I hope to have an exact number in the next week or so and at that point I will let everyone know what the balance of their payment is.

 

As of right now, 19 of the 20 rooms have been booked and we have 38 people in our group.  I am still waiting for a couple deposits to come in but I suspect that slow mail service is the cause of the delay.

 

With the game being shown on Thursday night in primetime on national TV, this is turning into a big game with lots of interest and the trip should be a blast.

 

Let me know if you have any questions.

·       Good of the Roost: - Hey Ravens women, let's get together and meet for lunch at a local restaurant or picnic at a park.  Some of our guys have been doing this pre pandemic for a while so I thought it'd be good for us women to get to know each other and to have a "girls day" out.  Contact Donna at 410-627-7697.  If we have enough interest, we can pick a date and time.  Thanks.

Funny Poop

·       Last year I replaced several windows in my house and they were the expensive double-pane energy efficient kind.  But this week I got a call from the contractor complaining that his work has been completed for a whole year and I had yet to pay for them.

Boy oh boy did we go 'round.  Just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I am automatically stupid.  So, I proceeded to tell him just what his fast talking sales guy had told me last year…that in one year the windows would pay for themselves.  There was silence on the other end of the line so I just hung up and I haven't heard back.  Guess I must have won that silly argument.

 

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.

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
