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.

Funny Poop

Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served.  When little Logan received his plate, he started eating right away.

"Logan, wait until we say our prayer," his mother reminded him.

"I don't have to," the little boy replied.

"Of course you do," his mother insisted, "we say a prayer before eating at our house."

"That's at our house," Logan explained, "but this is Grandma's house and she knows how to cook."

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 September 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.

Funny Poop

Two 90-year-olds had been dating for a while, when the man told the woman, “Well, tonight’s the night we have sex!”  And so they did.

As they are lying in bed afterward, the man thinks to himself: My God, if I knew she was a virgin, I would have been much more gentle with her!

And the woman was thinking to herself: My God, if I knew the old geezer could actually get it up, I would have taken off my panty hose!
