Charity Award Night
January 21, 2026
I hope you had the chance to attend our monthly January meeting to watch all the money being given out. As always, the organizations that we donated to were there to update our members on the good work that they had accomplished in 2025, as well as their plans for 2026. It was obvious that the money we saved up last year was going to some wonderful causes.
The upstairs meeting room at Monaghan's Pub was again filled to capacity with us and the representatives of our selected charities. Many of the people couldn't even sit down, but they all stuck it out none the less.
Including the money distributed on this night, our Roost has now given out over $121,000 since our first Charitable Donation Night in 2016. Photos of each donation can be found in the scrolling window on our Home Page.
Without our Roost members and loyal Roost supporters, however, we are nothing. Unlike the government, our Roost can't just print money. We must rely upon your charitable nature to provide us with the means to distribute these funds. Our Roost conducts a number of fund-raising activities each year, but make no mistake, the money being distributed was yours.
On behalf of our entire Roost membership, we thank Monaghan's Pub and all of you for your support. You're the greatest!
Polar Bear Plunge - 2026
Sandy Point State Park
January 31, 2026
10AM - 4 PM
Mother Nature sure gave us a lickin' on that Saturday, but our Ravens Roost 138 Plunge Team kept on tickin' anyway!
One of our plungers actually went to the beach early intent on immersing himself completely in the ice-cold water, but the security guys there told him he would just go in up to his knee.
Bummer!
Oh well.
The "smarter contingent" of the Ravens Roost 138 Plunge Team decided that Mother Nature was NOT going to have her way with us. They created a series of outdoor, bone-chilling events they could complete in while at Monaghan's Pub instead.
They also involved freezing cold (8 degree) temperatures and ice cold water too, just not as much as at Sandy Point Beach. No Speedos or bikinis were involved, but our plungers got more than their share of cold anyway.
Thanks to all those that "plunged" as well as all those who saw fit to donate their hard-earned money to our dedicated plungers.
Money well donated, I assure you.
Check out the videos and photos in the scrolling window above.
We had a record number of plungers on our team last year, and we matched that record number again in 2026. Our Plunge Team finished 4th among all Ravens Roost plunge teams, by generating a total of $5,330 for Special Olympics Maryland!

It’s so easy even a caveman (or cavewoman) can do it.
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
