A Word From
"President Adams"
Wow, what a celebration! Thanks so much for
coming to the Birthday Bash on such a beautiful afternoon.
You Pholks are the best and the proof follows...........
We all got to meet our very first "Keet" member.
Sammie is 6 years old and recently diagnosed with diabetes.
Sammie raised $1400.00 for Juvenile Diabetes Research and
asked if he could donate the funds to the Parrot Heads to
give to the Research Foundation. Sammie was inducted into
the club and received his name badge and PHOP t-shirt.
In Sammie's honor, Linda and Sandy Josten donated a Landshark
Ladies top along with a bucket of swag for auction. The
Landshark bucket was donated by "Too Drunk Too Fish".
That brought in $65.00. Thanks Ladies!
Deb & Dar Yeager made a treasure chest that was passed
around for cash donations. You pholks reached into your
wallets......that brought in another $455.00.
The Landshark Surfboard was up for the silent auction and
the winner was Scott & Ronna Sletten who's bid was $700.00.
When Scott went to write out the check he inquired about
how much we had raised and I told him that we were at $1220.00.
Scott thought we should raise as much money as Sammie, and
then made out the check for $900.00 for the surfboard. I
am speachless... Thank You Scott....
That brought the total to $1420.00 to go with Sammie's
$1400.00. A pirate's salute to all of you....we did "Party
with a Purpose".
We also roasted our founder Gregg "Mutt" Helms,
and presented the Top Ten Reasons why Mutt formed the club.
He took it with grace. He was also very grateful that we
did not have any baby pictures of him to share, and that
the statute of limitations do exist. Must have been a Parrot
Head who wrote those laws.
Meanwhile Jimmy was on the big screen and pholks were drinking
and dancing and chirping, and the winners of the trivia
contests were compensated for their expertise in Pholk Lore.
It was a great time. Again thank you all for your generousity,
and phriendship.
If anyone found a digital camera, I know an owner who is
missing one. Please email me.
I also want to thank the McDonalds Corp for having a dollar
double cheeseburger that coats the stomach with just the
right amount of grease when one is hung over.
Phlock On You Land Locked Lovers...
