RAVENS SCRATCH-OFF TICKET RAFFLE 2026
August 25 - October 23, 2026
NOW OVER
Was our third time with this fund raiser YOUR BIG WIN?
Maybe, but only if your name is ED!
This year, Ed plunked down his $10 bill hoping that he would win the big prize. As it turned out, he got lucky and had the WINNING TICKET drawn for the 15 SEQUENTIALLY NUMBERED $10 Ravens Scratch-Off tickets.
He probably got some hints on how to do this from Jenny, our 2025 winner.
These Ravens scratch-off tickets offered Ed multiple ways to win some big prizes. In addition to the unknown amount of cash that he has already won just from scratching, these bad boys have a "Second Chance" where he can STILL win that Top Prize of $200,000 or some other nice things.
Fingers crossed for Ed.
Ed's $10 contribution will now be going to one of the great charities that we support.
THAT was our real end game.
Ed's winning ticket was drawn at our Charity Auction on October 29, 2026.
It's a WIN-WIN for sure!
SOCKTOBERFEST 2026
October 1-31, 2026
ALL 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 this year said it all.
We needed your help again this year to successfully complete this important mission, and you STEPPED UP!
New socks are reportedly THE most requested item at homeless shelters throughout Baltimore.
We were in need of men's, woman's, and unfortunately also children's socks. Any size. Any color. Over the course of this year's campaign, we collected 3 large bags of warm socks to donate.
We delivered these socks to the Children's Hospital in Catonsville, and to the West Side Men's Shelter also in Catonsville.
Our quest is now over for this year, but Socktoberfest 2027 will be here before you know it.
SUGGESTION: Consider buying a pack of socks every month between now and next October. If you can do that, tons of people would be very, very happy.
You would be too.
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).
Annual Charity Auction
October 29, 2026
Bidding Started at 6:45PM
Many Ravens Roost 138 members and some other bar/restaurant patrons contributed items for this auction and/or spent some of their hard-earned cash on the items being auctioned off this year. If you fall into either (or both) of these categories, our entire Roost thanks you.
Even if you had not previously planned to grab some great food and drink at Monaghan 's Pub on this night, many of you did so.
This was the night of our Annual Charity Auction.
Auction items were flying off the shelves, so it's a good thing that many of you were there in person to win some of our great bargains.
Tonight it was also revealed that ED was the winner of those 15 sequentially numbered Ravens scratch-off tickets that we have been raffling off. Congratulations to him as well.
Overall, this auction is typically one of the more lucrative money-making activities that we hold each year, and this year proved to be no different. When the final hammer fell, we had collected another $5,400 to give to our selected charities in January.
Thanks to all of the people and vendors that contributed merchandise for this event, and to the patrons who opened their pocketbooks to make this one great event. You're the best!
Proceeds benefit our local charities.
Meetings
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!
Marine Toys For Tots Foundation
Holiday Toy Drive
November 1, 2026 - December 4, 2026
Some people put out cookies and milk for Santa. We're going to do a whole lot better than that!
On or about November 1st, a giant Toys For Tots Drop Box will magically appear at Monaghan's Pub.
Initially, it will be empty, but THAT'S where you come in.
Our Roost's goal, as always, is to fill this box to overflowing - not just once but multiple times - with new, unwrapped toys. You know, the GOOD stuff that you would buy for your own children or grandchildren.
There are far too many kids out there that wouldn't get ANYTHING at all for Christmas without the toys collected every year by the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. The problem is that there are way too many kids for the Foundation to provide toys to without YOUR help.
You will be the Santa for children who need love and the knowledge that someone out there cares about them. Now THAT'S love.
Sure. You will be donating toys for kids that you don't even know and who will never know you, but so what? If you NEED someone to know that YOU are the one that helps them, maybe you need to reconsider your reason for donating in the first place.
Every time the Drop Box gets pretty full, our Elves will line up to make a delivery run to Santa's secret Toy Transfer Station where they will be leaving our huge bags of toys with Ms. Claus.
After being cataloged, checked, and sorted by the elves, Santa will be taking over the very complex distribution and delivery activities as only HE, his elves, and his reindeer are equipped to do.
Don't forget - you can track Santa on his toy delivery mission on the NORAD website.
