Convention:

The theme for this year’s convention is “Purple Waves & Island Days”. The Council has added light food and live music to Thursday’s activities, something new from years past.

Attached is the convention schedule and application, and a sign up sheet will be provided at the March meeting. Please have money for Convention and application form to April's meeting as we have to turn these in to Council at their April mtg. Thanks

From Susan: Think about if you want a t-shirt or sweatshirt with the convention logo. We have to submit the online form by April 14, So I will be asking for decisions at the April meeting. Here is the link to see what they look like: https://ravensconvention2026.itemorder.com/shop/sale/ DO NOT ORDER ONLINE YOURSELF! If you want something, make the check out to Ravens Roost #44. All shirts need to be ordered in one application.

Parade:

The St. Patrick’s Day Parade is Saturday, March 14, beginning 12pm @ 60^th Street. As is our tradition, we will meet prior to the parade at the parking lot at Beach Copy on 59^th Street bayside. Tailgating begins 10am - BYOB. Members, you can bring your family and friends to march as well – the more the merrier!

This is a parade that is all about fun – no competition – We’re not worried about winning any prizes. We have music and stuff to throw to the folks lining the parade route. Wear something festive – we have our purple vests to wear over top so we look somewhat together.

The parade runs from 60^th Street to 45^th Street, so it’s best to park somewhere close to the end of the parade route so you’re close to your vehicle when we finish.

Afterwards, we plan to meet at the Tavern on Rt. 54 in Selbyville. All marchers are welcome. The Roost will provide food for everyone who marched. The Tavern has reasonable prices for drinks to purchase.

Apparel:

The Roost Online Store is closed and will reopen May1, 2026. Any February orders will ship in the month of April.

For new members the link to the store is: ravensroost44.itemorder.com

Note you can only access the site when the store is open.

Entertainment:

Things being considered for future are a Bull Roast and a fall dance. These would be Roost fundraisers and open to family and friends. Also need to discuss when schedule is out, if we are going to try to do an away game this year. Looking into possible trip to training camp.
Entertainment mtgs will be at 6:30 before every monthly Roost mtg.- Please consider joining so we can plan more fun things to do in the coming year.

Any ideas, text Donna 410-627-7697.

Funny Poop

A sad-faced Doug walked into a flower shop early one morning. The clerk was ready to take his order for a funeral piece, based on the look on Doug's face, but soon realized his assumption was wrong as Doug asked for a basket of flowers sent to his wife for their anniversary.

"And what day will that be?" the clerk asked.

Glumly he replied, "Yesterday."

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.
