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.
