Roost #44 Poop
- Dates to Remember:
- Tomorrow - Ravens Roost 44 Scholarship is having a fundraiser to be held at "5-Guys" in the White Marlin Mall in West OC on Thursday 5/15 from 4-7 pm. 20% of all sales during that time will be donated to the Ravens Roost 44 Scholarship Fund. Please note that the flyer/"voucher" must be presented to the cashier when placing your order in order for the 20% to be counted (get one HERE). EVERYONE is welcome to attend! Friends, neighbors, family and basically anyone you think might come. We are encouraging the 3 local schools who's students benefit from our scholarships to participate in this fundraising by distributing the vouchers to their students and faculty. If you belong to any other clubs or organizations, please provide vouchers to those members. Additional flyers will be available at the May meeting or you can print your own. (I think everyone is kinda doing Happy Hour @ Teasers beginning at 4 and then heading over to Five Guys around 6 or so. At least that's what I think remember from the meeting. Can anyone confirm?)
- Friday – WCS Meeting @ …
- Saturday - Happy Hour/Mini Dance at Blue Ox on from 4-7 pm. Booze & drinks on your own. Music and fun!
- Friday, May 30 - Ravens Roost #44 17th Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament @ Ocean Pines Golf & Country Club. Registration forms can be had here. We are expecting another sell out, so be sure to sign up early - don’t get shut out as some did last year.
- May 29 thru June 1 - The Council of Ravens Roosts Annual Convention. From Jo Ann: The Council of Baltimore Ravens Roosts Convention begins Thursday, May 29, and ends Sunday, June 1, at the Castle in the Sand Motel. The theme this year is “Celebrating 50 Years of Fan-Tastic Baltimore Football. The cost this year is $60 per registrant. A registration form is available here. The Convention agenda is available here.
Commemorative shirts are also available: hoodies (men's sizes only) in gray or purple; men's t-shirts and tanks, and women’s t-shirts and tanks, available in white, gray or purple. Prices range from $11.00 for t-shirts and tanks to $20 for the hoodies. Larger sizes (2, 3, 4, & 5 XL) are an additional $2 or more.
In years past there were team events that any registered participant could enter, such as horseshoes, volleyball, tug-of-war, a scavenger hunt, bingo, miniature golf, and karaoke. You can still register, but you will not get the "goodie bag". Make checks payable to Ravens Roost 44, and mail to 126 Pine Tree Rd., Ocean City, MD 21842. Please remember: Everyone who attends must be registered. There is no “sharing” of food and beverage.
I encourage our new members, as well as the members who have been in the Roost for a while, to attend the Convention. It is a great way to spend some time with our own Roost members and to meet fans from other Roosts. And, it’s always a lot of fun.
Roost 44 will not be marching in the parade this year. :(

- RAVENS ROOST #44 ROAD TRIP-2014. We will be staying at the Guy Harvey Outpost at the Tradewinds Resort in St. Pete Beach, FL (see link below for their website). The trip will consist of a 3-night stay at the hotel (courtyard view 1-bedroom suite rooms), a game day ticket in the lower corner of the end zone (section 202-see link for seating chart below), bus transportation to and from the stadium, a social and a road trip tee shirt & koozie.
The cost will be $425 a person-double occupancy-single occupancy will be $685 for a 3-night stay. The rate per night for the hotel is $178.08 incl. tax. This nightly rate includes their “Resort Amenity Package” (see link below). The hotel will honor this rate 3 days before the event (10/12) and 3 days after the event, based on availability, for those of you who want to stay for more then 3 days.

The trip as of this morning is open to both Roost members and non-Roost members. Due to having to purchase the game day tickets, and reserve the rooms in a short order of time, I will need everyone’s deposit (non-refundable) by this Friday-May 16th. Please make your checks out to Ravens Roost #44 in the amount of $150 (per person) and mail them to me, Mike Grimes, at 108 South Ocean Drive, Ocean City, MD 21842 or drop your check off at my residence.

This is a package deal. The only exception would be excluding the game-day ticket for those who don’t want to go to the game. Please contact me with any questions at montegomike@verizon.net or my cell at 410.251.6821. http://www.tradewindsresort.com/

Funny Poop
- What do you call a bunch of tractors parked in front of the McDonald's on Saturday night in Snow Hill? Prom.
- A frugal woman goes into the local newspaper office to see that the obituary for her recently deceased husband is written. The obit. editor informs her that the fee for the obituary is 50 cents a word. She pauses, reflects and then says, "well then, let it read 'Fred Brown died.'" Amused at the woman's thrift, the editor tells her that there is a 7 word minimum for all obituaries. Only a little flustered, she thinks thing over and in a few seconds says, "in that case, let it read, 'Fred Brown died: 1983 Pickup for sale.'"
- Old Aunt Cora went to her doctor to see what could be done about her troublesome constipation. "It's terrible," she said to the doctor. "I haven't moved my bowels in more than a week." "I see. Have you done anything about it?" asked the doctor. "Oh, yes," Aunt Cora replied, "I sit in the bathroom for a good half of an hour in the morning and then again at night." "No," the doctor said, "I mean do you take anything?" "Of course I do." she answered, "I take a magazine."

Baltimore Ravens, let’s go
And put that ball across the line
So fly with talons spread wide
Go in and strike with Ravens pride
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Ravens dark wings take flight
Dive in and show them your might
For Baltimore and Maryland
You will fly on to victory
