It’s Official! Ravens Roost #107 Is Up And Running!


Salisbury couple helps get party started

FRUITLAND, MD
Ravens Roost #107 is official! On Oct. 16, the Council of Baltimore Ravens Roosts voted unanimously in the affirmative to include the Salisbury-Fruitland chapter.

Bob Weber, a district manager with Rommel’s Holdings Inc’s, Ace Hardware Division and his wife Tammy, both of Salisbury, came up with the idea of starting a Roost on the Eastern Shore. Ocean City and Fenwick Island also have official Ravens Roosts.

The Ravens Roost is a non-profit social organization committed to supporting professional football in Baltimore, specifically the Baltimore Ravens.

Ravens Roost #107 meets each Sunday at Chicago Uno’s Bar and Grill, 100 E Cedar Lane, in Fruitland, to cheer on the Ravens. They have had 83 inquiries to join and have the board of directors assigned.

The board of directors are: President, Bob Weber; Vice President, David Davis; Treasurer, Perry Ruby; Secretary, Tammy Weber; Sgt. at Arms, Linda Davis and Chairman of the Board, David Brimer. Board members are Leah Ruby, Gail Nutter and Rob French.

In addition to gathering to root for the Ravens, the roost will provide the opportunity to participate in fundraising events to benefit local charities.

They have been in contact with Special Olympics to participate in the Polar Bear Plunge and are hoping to work with United Way’s charities also, said Weber.
All are invited to Chicago Uno’s to cheer on the Ravens.

Membership drives are ongoing and are conducted at the “remote stadium,” Chicago Uno’s Bar and Grill in Fruitland. All members must be at least 21 years of age.

If you are interested in becoming a member, please contact Bob or Tammy by phone at (443) 521-5461, or via e-mail, salisburyravensroost@yahoo.com.

I haaaaate the Ravens. But, it's good to see a little enthusiasm for the NFL on the Eastern Shore. And it's nice they're connecting with the Special Olympics (so many possibilities for jokes here, but, I digress).

It would be cool if they dress up like some of the Roosts do and ring a bell for the Salvation Army!

That would really attact attention!

Here's a crazy idea... Get together and go support a local business rather than a corporate chain. Just make more money for a group of millionaires a thousand miles away while the little guys here suffer to get by. What a joke.

This site never ceases to amaze me by highlighting those who run off at the mouth without knowing the facts (I'm speaking of many comments, not Joe). The guy who started the Roost is the district manager for Rommel's (a LOCAL company); and Rommel's owns Uno's. Look up "franchise" in the dictionary...sure, money goes to corporate, but most of it stays local.
As Ben Franklin said, "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do."

That said, Go Steelers!
