Constitution and Bylaws:

 

·        Members, Please review the following proposal (attached) to change the Roost bylaws.  The change simply removes the specific day of the week that monthly meetings will take place.  This will allow any future changes to the meeting dates to take place without needing additional changes to the bylaws.  The first public reading of the proposal was at the Aug. 14th meeting and will be read again at the Sept. 2nd meeting, then a vote for approval will be held at the October 7th meeting.

 


·        Updated Bylaws are available at our website ocravensroost44.com.

 

 

Game Bus:

 

We are trying again this season to arrange for a game bus to some of Ravens home games.  Unfortunately, we will not be able to get “group tickets”.  Individual tickets are now on sale.  There are several bus companies that have smaller vehicles (14-24 passengers) and they working on pricing.

Anyone that is interested in a round trip ride to Ravens games or knows of someone, even outside the Roost, please let me know.

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
