WAZOO 
Dont miss WaZoo at Lowry Park Zoo this Saturday, August 5, from 8:00 to 11:00 P.M.  "Featured as one of the “10 Great Beer Festivals in the Country” by USA Today, this "tropical taste explosion" features more than 150 beverages from around the world, food from Bay Area restaurants, a wine garden and live music from “Impulse” and “Blue Stone Circle”.  The Parrot Heads will be doing the late Cleanup after 11:00.   
 
It is very important that we as volunteers all understand what is expected of us for this event.  We do get to sample the beer and the food, but we have to maintain a level head in order to be ready for the Clean up after the event.  David, our Chief Officer of Community Events, dolphin96 at verizon.net - 727-543-6548, has more information.  Currently, all volunteer slots have been filled and we have some back-ups ready to go should someone not be able to make it at the last minute.  A HUGE thank you to everyone for their interest and for volunteering to help ONCE AGAIN!

HELP WANTED - Membership Committee 
The Membership Committee is looking for volunteers to help out at the Membership Table during meetings.  Needed are 2-3 people to work as a team at every third meeting from 6ish to 8:30ish (depending upon activity at the table). 
 
Responsibilities include talking with member wannabes, keeping a log of new members and renewals received at the meeting, laminating badges, opening membership mail, handling money and checks and making change.  At the end of the night you would prepare the bank deposit slip, pack up and return materials to the storeroom.  You don’t have to worry about set-up as our own 12-Volt Man, Jerry, takes care of that for us.  (Thanks, Jerry!) 
 
We need outgoing, upbeat people who have a positive club attitude and who enjoy talking with new people.  The routine is easy to learn and it’s a fun area to work.  If the club has had a positive affect on your life and you can convey that feeling to new member wannabes, we’d love to talk with you. 
 
If you’re interested you can either come to the membership area during the meeting and ask for Bob or Becky or email them at rnickera at tampabay.rr.com Thanks!!
