​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.
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.

Ravens Roost 138
Annual Election of Officers
and Board Members
June 17, 2026
6:30 PM
Are YOU ready to step up?
Are YOU ready to serve your Roost as an elected official?
Are YOU up to the challenge?
​
If you can answer "YES" to each of these 3 important questions, then YOU are strongly encouraged to "throw your hat in the ring"!
So to speak.
EVERY office has potential openings. Responsibilities of each officer are clearly identified in our By-Laws. Pick the office that you believe best fits your own abilities, and nominate yourself for that position. Or ask a friend to nominate you instead. Either way works.
Our 2026 "Nominations Committee" will be set up in May. Any of those three Roost members would be happy to accept your nomination and add it our ballot.
Elections will occur in June, with the successful candidates officially taking office during our July meeting.
