This year’s

The convention is
a great opportunity to share fellowship with Ravens fans from all over. Ravens Roost 44 will, as always, have a
hospitality suite located at Room 12, ground level, right next to the Castle in
the Sand office, for conventioneers to enjoy.
You can still
participate in the convention, but you will not be getting the goodie bag. Contact Donna Chaplinski (410-627-7697)
for more information.
Also think about
any events you would wish to participate – There is Karaoke, Cuponk (like beer
pong), Corn Hole, Mini Golf, Lip Sync, Volleyball, Bingo, Crazy Hat Parade, and

Entertainment:

hamburgers, hot dogs, Italian sausages and fixings. Donations of home made salads would be

· Still
working on next cruise. Two choices, we
have to pick one. Bermuda out of
Baltimore, May 2025 for 7 days or Caribbean 8 days out of Norfolk, May 2025. I need to know who is going because we have to
decide ASAP. Bermuda trip us nearly
full. We will need initial deposit of
$25 per person. I will give more
derailed info at tomorrow's mtg.
· We have a
few choices for away games. Decisions
where to go will be made after schedule is released.
· We will be
doing another Duckaneer pirate cruise this summer. Details soon.
· Tony will
be having sign up sheet for our annual Shore Birds game at tomorrow’s meeting.
· Any
suggestions for future activities are very welcome. Text Donna at 410-627-7697. Thanks!
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 October 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

Ravens Roost #44 has won many trophies over the last 25

locker. Gary would like to find a new
home for them. Anyone with any ideas
where they can be stored (or displayed, preferably), please contact Gary @

Funny Poop
· There was once an aspiring
veterinarian who put himself through veterinary school working nights as a
taxidermist. Upon graduation, he decided
he could combine his two vocations to better serve the needs of his patients
and their owners, while doubling his practice and, therefore, his income. He opened his own offices with a shingle on
the door saying, "Dr. Jones, Veterinary Medicine and Taxidermy -- Either
way, you get your dog back!"

Got Poop? Let me know!
I’m going to try to get this out every Wednesday so if you get it to me

input is appreciated.
