Basket of Cheer
       It’s almost over, everyone!  Who will be the lucky winner?  Be at the Elmwood on Sunday, November 12 for the drawing!  You don’t have to be there to win, but I know you want to support your Nest, your team and find out who wins all that booze!

Holiday Food & Toy Drives
       Well, two tubs are full and we’re working on a third one!  Come on people, clean out those pantries!  We know you’ve got an extra can of green beans and some cream of mushroom soup you can spare!
          To help things along and make sure there will be turkey with all the fixin’s, Sharon will be collecting $1 from every member.  Your participation and cooperation is appreciated!  It will give at least one family a reason to be thankful!

          The food drive will end on Sunday, November 19 to give us time to organize all the donations and make the delivery (or deliveries)!

            Nothing beats watching your favorite team play on TV at the Elmwood!  The establishment of the Raven’s Nest has really proved to be a winner for all of us.

          Win, lose or draw we all win when you can enjoy watching your favorite team or game with your friends.

          If it had not been for the origination of the Nest, many of us would not have taken the initiative to interact with each other and forge the friendships that have grown from being a Nest member.

          We got off to a rocky start, but thanks to our newly elected President Toni, we have made a strong comeback and things are progressing nicely.

          If you are a football fan that likes to wager a dollar or two on a game, you may be interested to know that as of the end of week # 7, 100 games had been played for the year and 58% of them had been won by the underdog.

          The Ravens won their Super Bowl in ‘2001 by being underdogs throughout the season and the playoffs.

          In recent years passed, it has only taken a regular season of an 8-8 record to get into the playoffs or earn a wildcard spot.  As of week # 7 The Raven are sitting at a 4-2 record with a strong position for entering into the post season.  Go Ravens! Let’s see a strong show of support for our team in purple.

          I feel fortunate to have met and formed the relationships with all the Nest members and look forward to many more happy meetings.
