Old Business – Council Bull Roast – February 5th – Patapsco Arena. 

 

Roost Bull Roast – Pat – March 31st.  Mandy will have tickets printed.  Not too different than last year.  Mike Lawson will do his thing for about 1.5 hours.  Ticket price not yet determined.  Last year we had 30 tables of 10 and it was totally packed. We are collecting door prizes so if anyone can stop in at local businesses and get some items it’d be great.  Door prizes are: 1st place, autographed picture of Ray Lewis, 2nd place signed football, 3rd place, signed mini-helmet.

 

New business – Letter/certificate from Chuck Cave, Sheriff of Howard County Sheriff’s office for a salute our roost for our committed and dedicated service to Howard County. 

 

Bob’s Ravens Report – Bob Caldwell

Big game tonight.  We’ll win either way.  If Bengals lose, we slide up to 2nd seed.  If Colts lose, we slide up to first seed.  No matter, we are in the playoffs!  If Bengals lose we win our division straight out - which should happen since Bengals are injury prone.  Trevor Pryce now our sack leader.  We need the bye week.  We got to earn it but we have a real good shot at it.  Pitt will be tough.  We’ll take a beating but we can beat them.  Bengals lose then they are going to Denver and it will be tougher for them.  Steve will be fine.  Andre of Browns came out with a concussion cause we (may) have gotten him back for stepping on Steve’s hand.  But it was a mistake! (?)  Kyle had an overall good day Sunday.  Did we make mistakes?  Sure.  So what?!  Brett Favre has had so many we can’t count and look how that go on about him.  What they’re saying is that Boller came in cold but that is untrue.  Boller has been playing with the first team so McNair can rest his arm, a smart move by Billick.  Boller has come in twice this year and he has come in ready to play.  Boller won’t let you kick our ass. 

 

50-50 – $59.50 – Joel was the winner.
