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

A terrifying explosion occurs in a gunpowder factory, and once all the mess has been cleared up, and inquiry begins.  One of the few survivors is pulled up to make a statement.  "Okay Simpson," says the investigator, "you were near the scene, what happened?"

"Well, it's like this.  Old Charley Higgins was in the mixing room, and I saw him take a cigarette out of his pocket and light up."

"He was smoking in the mixing room?" the investigator said in stunned horror, "How long had he been with the company?"

"About 20 years, sir"

"20 years in the company, then he goes and strikes a match in the mixing room,  I'd have thought it would have been the last thing he'd have done."

"It was, sir."

 

 

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
