House:

Our permanent meeting host is the American Legion Post 166 located at Coastal Hwy and 23rd Street.  At the request of the Legion, meetings will now be on the first Tuesday of each month. 

Roost members please enter through the handicap door on the 23rd street north side. 

Be sure to sign in at the table at the door.

 

The general membership meeting starts promptly at 7:30.  There may be some committee

meetings going on before that.  However, members are invited and encouraged to arrive as

early as 6:00 to enjoy drinks and food specials  The Post kitchen stays open until 7:30 on

our meeting nights to accommodate us.  This is a great time to enjoy the facility and engage

with other members.  The Post accepts cash only.

 

It looks like we will have the usual setup for tailgate parties for the Sunday 1:00 games in the hall with food and drinks available for purchase off the menu or buffet.  In October we will be doing 3 Sunday 1:00 pm tailgate parties at the Legion: 10/5 Texans, 10/12 Rams, and 10/26 Bears - you can bring family and friends but be sure to enter at the front door and sign in as guests of either me or Larry Walton on the Ravens Roost sheet.

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
