O’s are in 1st place and hosting the Yankees all weekend … and the Ravens open their regular season Monday night against the Bengals at M&T Bank Stadium! Life is good! Roost #4 will host our 1st official tailgate party before the 7pm Monday night game. We tailgate on the lot behind the ABC Rental store on the corner of Russell Street and Hamburg Street. The lot opens at 2pm for the 7pm Monday game.  Cost for the lot is still $40 per carload. Our Roost #4 tailgate should be setting-up as soon as the lot opens.  Note: due to the 7pm game time, the fact that the crowd will be big for the 1st game, and the fact that security could be tight getting into the stadium, the tailgate will begin shutdown at 5:30 so we can leave for the stadium around 5:45. As always … Roost #4 will have a grill fired for our members to use … this is BYOB (in YOC … your own cooler) … and we encourage our tailgaters to bring a small dish to share with our gang (SMALL … we throw-away too much food!). Contact Mitch or Frosty if you have any questions. Go Orioles … Go Ravens!!!

15th Annual Ravens Roost #4 Golf Tournament
On Saturday, July 14, 2012, Ravens Roost #4 held their 15th Annual Golf Tournament at Hollow Creek Golf Club out in Middletown, MD. The tournament now also carries the moniker of “The Buzz Suter Memorial Golf Tournament”. Proceeds from the tournament benefit our Roost #4 charities. Though it was pouring rain in Howard County as our golfers drove west to Hollow Creek for the 9am tee time, the course remained dry and the sun made an appearance early in the afternoon. Thanks to everyone who came out to golf with Roost #4 … thanks to all of our hole sponsors … thanks to the staff at Hollow Creek for getting the signs placed, the carts lined-up, the course in tip-top shape, and for keeping our golfers fed & hydrated … and a special thanks to Frosty for making the whole thing happen! A good time was had by all! Please enjoy these pictures from the tourney (with another thank you to Scott Habicht for recording the event!) …Â
