Dee Date June 18, 2010 The off season schedule is still going on. The Ravens had to cancel one of their Organized Team Activities because they broke one of the Players Union rules. I guess they were on the field too long or had too much contact. There were also a couple of other teams that were in the same boat. No major injuries to report so far which is good. I assume Webb and Washington are recovering well so far Saturday May 1st, I was a guest of Ravens Nest 14 “Spring Festivus Family Fun Day” at the Sykesville American Legion. They were raising money for a family who had fell on hard times. I so enjoy the ride up to Sykesville, nice open space. Got a chance to enter the football toss contest. All in all it was a great day. On Friday May 28th, I attended the Baltimore City Fire Department Honor Guard Fund raiser at Rosedale station in Rosedale. I had a great time as always. They had some nice stuff for the silent auction. I loved some of the Joe Flacco autograph items. Keith put on a good show and I’m looking forward to next year. Friday June 11, I had an opportunity to attend the opening ceremony for the Maryland Special Olympic at Towson University. I really had a great time meeting and talking to the athletes. They had so much energy and enthusiasm. I didn’t realize so many of them knew me. I love watching them all march in by county into the arena. The people who put this event deserve a lot of credit. Saturday June 12, I was at the National Marina Day at the Anchorage Marina in Canton. It was nice being near the water with a cool breeze blowing. Left Stronger and his band were playing him music. They sounded pretty good and they have their CDs on sale. Saw some nice boats berthed at the marina. Saturday June 12 in the evening. I was at Raven’s night at the Orioles game. They gave out these Orioles cap with a purple bird on them. I met so many Ravens fan there. The game was close until the Orioles finally lost. On Tuesday June 15th, I was the guest speaker for the Rockledge Elementary School promotional Ceremony. I had an opportunity shake each one of the graduates’ hands individually. It was so nice to see these energetic and smart students moving up to middle school. I stress upon them the importance of being positive.
