From the Prez
–
Well it looks like some areas are
opening up meaning the boardwalk and beaches for Ocean City and soon to follow
the Delaware beaches and boardwalks…it still means to walk, exercise and social
distancing…just a hint that this weekend is looking pretty good.
If you paid your dues already and
looking to sport around some Ravens Roost #44 clothing the website will open
during May…site is http://ravensroost44.itemorder.com/sale.
The NFL announced its 2020
schedule last Thursday and The Ravens according to the experts have an easy
schedule to face this year...our Ravens resident expert Steve Szalsa will
comment on his review.
Two members on our board Rich Hanson
and Ron Staines will be having surgeries in the coming weeks. .hope the best
for them both.. will notify Marian
Don McMullen will be setting up
the selection process for the Golf Scholarships…Don will have more information.
Nothing else to report…Stay safe
and use good judgment if and when you go out venturing in this crazy times
we’re experiencing.

member in need of a message of encouragement or a sympathy card for a family
member. Please, no texts or emails.
·
House:
As stated in the last three Poops, the Abbey Burger (which made an outstanding
offer in the winter) has decided not to reopen in 2020 and will be evaluating
2021. Our list of possible meeting
venues has gotten shorter. If
considerations of social distancing continue on, then Denney's that was
marginal before may now be off the list. Alley Oops may now be marginal.
The
Board of Directors met recently and recommended that any meetings we might have
from now until the end of the season should be held at the American Legion. They have been booked for May, June, July, August
and Sept if they happen.
Voting
for the "most of the time favorite" will of course be delayed and
will likely include only the American Legion (available all year) and Alley
Oops (off season only). Others would
likely be for emergencies only. Our
situation seems to be ever changing.
·
Scholarship Golf:
We would like to have the Scholarship Committee review 2020 College Scholarship
applications the middle of May.

Good daily dose of Ravens news notes and nuggets here. It’s getting to the point where I can hardly
stand ESPN, but you can go here to stay up to date
with all of the AFC North news.

Funny Poop

A father is
explaining ethics to his son, who is about to go into business...
"Suppose a woman comes in and orders a hundred dollars worth of material. You wrap it up, and you give it to her. She pays you with a $100 bill. But as she goes out the door, you realize she's given you two $100 bills. Now, here's where the ethics come in: should you or should you not tell your partner?
