Don't worry. This is NOT the original Liberty Bell.

CATONSVILLE 4th of JULY CELEBRATION
July 4, 2026
Well, it was VERY hot out there this year, but apparently not hot enough to cancel this parade. My hat is off to the heat-loving Roosters that braved this furnace to partake of this annual event and take the pictures being displayed in the scrolling window above for us.
Happy 250th Birthday, America!
RAVENS SCRATCH-OFF TICKET RAFFLE 2026
August 25 - October 23, 2026
NOW IN ITS FINAL DAYS
Will our third time with this fund raiser be YOUR BIG WIN?
Maybe, but it can't be if you don't participate!
Just ask Jenny.
Last year, she happily gave up her $10 bill for what turned out to be the WINNING TICKET drawn for the 15 SEQUENTIALLY NUMBERED $10 Ravens Scratch-Off tickets.
How she knew it was going to be the winner is completely beyond me, but she was right.
You can do the same thing.
First, you'll need to find your Ten Dollar Bill (or two five spots, or ten singles. No change, please).
Then, you'll have to find Phil.
Unlike Punxsutawney Phil, Catonsville Phil won't be hiding in some hole.
He'll be easy to find at Monaghan's Pub.
He'll have the tickets, but not until the end of August.
The Ravens scratch-off tickets offer multiple ways to win some big prizes. In addition to the "normal" cash you can win just from scratching, these bad boys have a "Second Chance" where you could still win that Top Prize of $200,000 or some other nice things.
Your $10 contribution will then be going to one of the great charities that we support.
THAT'S our real end game.
The winning ticket will be drawn at our Charity Auction on October 29, 2026.
It's a WIN-WIN for sure!
SOCKTOBERFEST 2026
October 1-31, 2026
ALMOST OVER NOW
Welcome To YEAR 6!
Year after year, Ravens Roost 138 has been stepping up to meet one of the greatest challenges known to humankind:
COLD FEET!
You know what I'm talking about.
As strange as it may seem to some, the giving of a pair of clean, new socks may be the MOST rewarding thing that we, as a Roost, do. The faces of the grateful recipients typically say it all.
We will need your help again this year if we are to successfully complete this important mission.
New socks are reportedly THE most requested item at homeless shelters throughout Baltimore.
We are in need of men's, woman's, and unfortunately also children's socks. Any size. Any color.
Over the course of this campaign, we plan to deliver bags and bags of these socks to the Children's Hospital in Catonsville, and to the West Side Men's Shelter also in Catonsville.
Our quest has begin. Watch for the large Sock Collection Box, which is conveniently located at Monaghan's Pub in Gwynn Oak, MD. If you bring in some socks every time you go there for food and drink, we'll do great again this year.
PLEASE don't dally, though. Socktober is almost over.
Fifth Annual
Ravens Roost 138 Tailgate Party
October 18, 2026
9AM - 12AM
We were hoping for a duplicate of the fantastic 2025 weather for this fun event, but Mother Nature dealt us a slightly worse hand this year.
It was VERY cold at the outset of our Roost tailgate this year. At least in the early morning it was. Shortly, however, the sun came out and it felt a lot more like sweatshirt weather than Arctic coat weather.
Our members trickled in slowly - until the sun showed up. Soon after, we had 28 souls there to celebrate with us what SHOULD have been a decisive Ravens win over the Cleveland team whose name shall remain unspoken.
Check out the pictures in the scrolling window on our HOME Page.
As has been our custom, there was plenty of free food and drink again this year. Our ravenous Roost members made a pretty good dent in it on Sunday.
As it turned out, the Cornhole Range was closed for upgrades this year.
Hopefully, those will be finished prior to next year's tailgate party.
Speaking of disappointment, TAYLOR SWIFT, who was SCHEDULED to perform at our event this year, was told by her new husband, Travis, that she was NOT ALLOWED to hang out with any Ravens fans.
That scumbag!
It's a GOOD THING that we're not scheduled to play them in a regular season game this year. Maybe they can find some way to make it to the Super Bowl where we will be able to settle this score.
Grilling was again expertly performed by the world-renowned Hull Brothers, Carrroll and Rick. Thankfully, they didn't let their prior engagement at the posh restaurant in Manhattan get in their way, but they DID lose that gig forever as a result of their commitment to you, our Roost members.
If you should see either Carroll or Rick this fall, please thank them for their sacrifice. IF they think you are sincere, they might even be willing to re-up for grilling for us again next year. (Fingers crossed).
Meetings
Annual Charity Auction
October 29, 2026
Bidding Starts at 6:45PM
Ravens Roost 138 members and every other bar/restaurant patron, please pay attention.
We need your presence (and your cash).
Even if you had not previously planned to grab some great food and drink at Monaghan 's Pub on this night, you really should consider doing so now. Better late than never.
This is the night of our Annual Charity Auction.
Auction items will be flying off the shelves, and you'll want to be there to win any number of great bargains.
As we did last year and the year before, this night will also reveal the winner of those 15 sequentially numbered Ravens scratch-off tickets that we have been raffling off. The winner will be drawn during this auction. While THIS winner isn't required to be in attendance, wouldn't it be great if you had purchased raffle tickets for this prize and were there when YOUR NAME was drawn?
I think so.
Overall, this auction is one of the more lucrative money-making activities that we hold each year, and we expect this year to be no different.
Thanks, in advance, to all of the people and vendors that contribute merchandise for this event, and to the patrons who will open their pocketbooks (hint, hint) to make this one great event. You're the best!
Proceeds benefit our local charities.
January Pick 3 Raffle
October 21, 2026 - December 31, 2026
We KNOW that you've been waiting a long time for this event to come around again.
YOUR WAIT IS NOW OVER!
Here's a great chance to help our local charities while hopefully helping yourself as well. For a measly $5, you can even give these out as stocking stuffers. You'll be the hit of your family!
Numbers are drawn each night in January, so you could win 31 times!
(But you won't. I'll bet you).
If you don't already have your tickets, you'll want to find a Roost member to score them pretty soon. All 1,000 tickets went on sale October 21st and, if history repeats itself, they'll all be GONE before the end of the year.
DON'T PROCRASTENATE.
You don't really want to have to kick yourself later just because you waited a day too long to cough up your five-spot(s).
Proceeds go to help fund our local charities.
Thanks a million to you, in advance, from all of us at Ravens Roost 138!
