This month's Ravens Roost #4 meeting is scheduled for this coming Monday, August 27th, 7:00pm at Jilly's in the Enchanted Forest Shopping Center on Route 40 in Ellicott City. Here are a few important notes concerning this meeting:

1.  Buffalo Road Trip

If you signed-up to travel to Buffalo with Roost #4 to watch the Ravens play the Bills on October 21st - the game tickets are in and will be distributed by Frosty at the meeting. If you're going on the trip, please attend this meeting to pick-up your game tickets!

2.  2007 Council of Baltimore Ravens Roosts - Convention Goodie-Bags

If you attended the 2007 Council of Baltimore Ravens Roosts Convention in Ocean City with Roost #4, Roost #4 volunteered to accept goodie-bags that were short a few items since the Council underestimated the number of Roost members attending the convention. Well, the items we didn't receive in June are in now and will be available at the meeting on Monday. If you attended the convention and wish to receive the items you were shorted in June, plan on attending the meeting Monday to pick-up your stuff!

3.  Roost #4 Membership Renewal

Annual dues ($30) to renew your Ravens Roost #4 membership are due by the September 24th meeting. I'll be collecting dues at the August meeting if you wish to pay now to avoid the rush at the September meeting. Cash or checks payable to Ravens Roost #4 are accepted. Note your payment of annual dues will cover your membership for fiscal year 2008 (beginning in September).

4.  Roost #4 Embroidered Shirts

If you ordered any embroidered shirts from me at the July meeting, the shirts will be available for pick-up at the meeting on Monday. I'll let each member that placed an order know how much you owe for your shirts(s). Please plan on attending the meeting Monday to pay for your merchandise accept delivery.

5.  Roost #4 / Jilly's T-shirt Order

We'll be taking orders at the meeting on Monday for t-shirts that will feature a color, full-size Roost #4 logo on the back and the Jilly's logo on the left breast. We'll have three styles of t-shirts to choose from. Costs will be known at the meeting on Monday. If you'd like to order any Roost #4/Jilly's t-shirts, please plan on attending the meeting Monday!
