President’s Letter
Greetings,
We had a busy month in June with our Golf
Tournament, Orioles Trip and our Nest Happy Hour!
The golf outing was very successful. We didn’t have
as many golfers as last year, but we raised a nice
sum which Vic Zengler will talk about tonight.
Thanks to all who attended and/or donated their
time. Special recognition to Cavanaugh Homes for
being our Title Sponsor this year!
The Orioles outing was a sell out and everyone had
a great time. There was plenty of cold beer, sodas
and water and ample food consisting of subs, pizza,
snacks and a variety of desserts. Of course it was
too hot, so many of us retreated to the outfield bar
just like we did last year by the second inning. Be
on the lookout next April for our sign-up sheet.
Our June Nest Happy Hour was held at 510
Johnny’s. We tied our record of 31 in attendance.
Tonight we will vote on where to have our July
Happy Hour due to an event that was brought to my
attention a few days ago. Our August Happy Hour
will be at TGI Friday’s. Friday’s will be offering us
$80 in free appetizers! I’d like to thank Nest
member Stan Simms who is a manager there for
arranging this. Please join us and sign up if you
plan to attend so I can have the appropriate number
of seats reserved.
Our Delaware Park trip had to be cancelled due to
not enough people attending. We needed 40 people
to receive the free $30 in slot credits, we only had
29 signed up. We will look into this for next year. In
lieu of the Delaware Park trip we will still utilize the
date of Saturday, August 20 and have a Ravens
Nest Picnic. The picnic will be held at the Fountain
Green Swim Club. The Nest will be providing the
beer, sodas, water, hot dogs, sausages and rolls.
We ask that Nest members attending bring chips,
pretzels, salads and desserts to share with those in
attendance. There will be a sign up sheet at
tonight’s meeting to list the items you would like to
bring or if you would like to volunteer to help cook.
We ask that you keep this to your immediate family
so we are not overrun with too many people. The
swim club does charge $5 per person to enter the
establishment. We will be under a very nice pavilion
and are looking into some musical entertainment as
well. Grab your thongs and speedos and join us for
what we hope to be a very nice event for the Nest
membership.
Our second bus to the Jets trip is filling up nicely!
Please sign up tonight so we can sell it out! As a
reminder we have all 100 seats together in the
upper level. Snacks, beer, sodas are provided on
the way up and back. We will have a catered
tailgate party on the parking lot. This has been
cleared with the Jets. The cost for all of this is only
$175 per person. All money is due by our August
meeting. Please take note if you are not paid in full
by our August meeting we will open your spot to
someone in waiting.
The American Legion crab feast we attended last
year is scheduled on Saturday, September 24. The
price should remain at $45 for all you can eat crabs,
crab soup, corn on the cob, pit ham, salads, draft
and sodas. There is a sign up sheet tonight. Last
year we had 37 Nest members in attendance.
Everyone who attended enjoyed the food, especially
the crabs! This year I am able to reserve between
50 and 75 tickets, so please sign up and be positive
you can attend. Money for this event will be due at
our September meeting.
Go Ravens!

Did You Know
2016 Annual Raffle Sale
*In an NFL game, as many as 75 minutes, or about
60% of total TV air time (excluding commercials), is
spent on shots of players standing on the line of
scrimmage, huddling, or just walking around between
snaps.
Our Raffle will be drawn next month. We still
have over 40 members who have not picked up
their tickets (not good). Please see Gary and
Trish tonight!
*Injured football players in televised NFL games get
six more seconds of camera time than celebrating
players.
*The average age of an NFL cheerleader is 25.
*NFL cheerleaders typically make $50–$75 a game.
However, by the time they spend money on makeup,
hair accessories, dance classes, etc., they end up
losing money.
*During broadcast NFL games, cheerleaders are on
TV for only about 3 seconds. Coaches and referees
receive around 7% of the face time in a game.
*In the 1930s, NFL game telecasts were simply a
constant feed of the field. Instant replay became
commonplace in the mid-1960s, which helped fill the
idle moments of the game. By the 1990s, some
football broadcasts showed about 100 replays per
game.
*Deion Sanders is the only person in history to both
hit an MLB home run and score an NFL touchdown
in the same week. He’s also the only person to play
in the World Series and the Super Bowl.
*The NFL has an annual revenue of $9 billion, with a
profit of 1 billion. MLB has an annual revenue of $7.2
billion, with a profit of $49 million.
*The NFL consists of 32 teams, with an average
team value of $1 billion. MLB has 30 teams, with an
average team value of $523 million.
