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

Ravens Roost 138
Bull and Oyster Roast
March 21, 2026
6 PM - 10 PM
This year's Bull and Oyster Event was another resounding success. For the first time, our Ravens Roost 138 teamed up with another, Ravens Roost 117, to give the public a filled-to-the-brim experience - both with food and with attendees. When the smoke cleared there were more than 240 tickets sold for this event. Our Roost's profit from this event turned out to be just over $2,400. Not bad, huh?
A great time was had by all, I can assure you.
The music was excellent, just as you would expect from Jill black and the Panic Attack.
You had to be there to fully experience this evening, but just in case you weren't, check out the photos taken during this event from the scrolling window on the HOME Page. There are a few more saved under the PHOTO GALLERY Tab as well.
Council of Baltimore Ravens Roosts
Ocean City MD Convention
May 28 - May 31, 2026
Party? What party, you say?
Obviously, were talking about the Council's OC Convention. THAT'S the party!
This year's event was themed "Purple Waves and Island Days", and the weather cooperated by providing a great backdrop for this annual event.
It's been reported that the turnout was noticeably greater than it was last year, but unfortunately, that didn't include ANY Ravens, cheerleaders, or even Poe. That sucks, but the Ravens organization has promised to do much better next year.
I can't wait!
In the meantime, check out the photos taken by Rooster Kelli in the scrolling window above.
Ravens Roost 138
Annual Election of Officers
and Board Members
June 17, 2026
6:30 PM
The "call to serve" can take many different forms. The one that we're most interested in (at this particular point in time, at least) is stepping up to serve your Ravens Roost.
While rewarding at most levels, holding an office in your Roost can be challenging, frustrating, and occasionally unrewarding at the same time.
Nonetheless, we continue to get members who are willing to put in the time and the effort to serve you, our membership. For that, we thank the in-coming Officers and Directors in advance, and the out-going Officers and Directors for their jobs well done.
Enter the NEW Officers and Board of Directors, elected in June 2026 to serve Ravens Roost 138 throughout our 2026/2027 season in the positions indicated below:
PRESIDENT: Mark Strube
VICE PRESIDENT: Larry Propf
TREASURER: Phil ("Pete") Bryan
SECRETARY: Christine Propf
SERGEANT AT ARMS: Ian Sherry
BOARD OF DIRECTORS: Will Latvanas,
Jean Beal, Rick Hull, Pete Jardieu
and Carroll Hull
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
ON-GOING AS WE SPEAK
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
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 is about to begin. Watch for the large Sock Collection Box, which will be 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.
Fifth Annual
Ravens Roost 138 Tailgate Party
October 18, 2026
9AM - 12AM
Grill Shut Down Promptly @ 11:30
(Rain Date Nov 1st)
We are hoping for a duplicate of the fantastic 2025 weather for this fun event.
Fingers crossed, Mother Nature!
As has been our custom, there will be plenty of free food and drink again this year, but what we can't eat will have to be disposed of somehow. You should come on out and help us with this pressing situation.
The Cornhole Range will be open to all commers. Last year, only two teams showed up (actually only one - I sucked at Cornhole).
TAYLOR SWIFT is planning to perform at our event this year. She said OK, but only if Travis will let her come out to play.
Don't hold your breath, though.
Grilling will be performed again this year by the world-renowned Hull Brothers, Carrroll and Rick. They did have a prior engagement at a posh restaurant in Manhattan, but we were able to entice them away with enough cash to fill the trunk of their car.
You WON'T want to miss it!
