[finsup at mylist.net]

Helloooooooooooooooooooooo Tampa Bay Parrot Heads!

CONGRATULATIONS TO US – Last week we were presented an award from Keep Hillsborough County Beautiful as their “MOST LOYAL SUPPORTER”.  Thanks to everyone who has helped us through the years on Parrot Head Island as we continue to  “Cleeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnn the Beaches!”
 
What a great time and AWESOME turnout for the Tampa Bay PHC Bar Stroll in Channelside.  Thanks to all who came out to support the club -- it was a heckuva good time!!  Special thanks to Jim Hannigan and Coastal Wine & Spirits for setting up everything at Channelside – as well as our good pal Guy from Stumps.

There's a meeting this Wednesday night, August 16th at Storman's.  Hope to see everyone there!!!!! 

Following is an update on more events we have planned:

VOLCANO MEETING - August 23rd!!!
The Tampa Bay Parrot Head Club's annual Volcano Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, August 23rd, at 7:00 p.m. at Storman's.  This meeting will be held by our very own Members-at-Large, Doc Susan & Jesse, in order to give all club members a chance to express any and all concerns, and air your gripes in confidence (no board members will be present).  Come on out and join Susan and Jesse to discuss what's on your mind!!  PLEASE NOTE -  THIS IS A BITCH, BITCH, BITCH (thus Volcano) SESSION.  Meaning, it is held to let you share any problems you are having with the club . . . and also hopefully have some solutions.  It is not an “idea” meeting.  Those are the Havana Daydreamin meetings we hold twice a year.

AUGUST 30th - 5th Wednesday Meeting 
That's right!  August is another month with a 5th Wednesday and this time, we're going country!   Get ready for Jerry Jeff Walker at this year's Meeting of the Minds with Cowboy Boots & Bathing Suits.  Wear your best outfit of cowboy boots and/or bathing suits and compete for prizes!  We'll also dust off our old CD's and play the songs that Jerry Jeff helped inspire in the country side of Buffett's music. 

TBPH CLUB 12th Birthday Bash!!!!!!!!!! 
Mark your calendars for the weekend of September 8th-10th for YOUR annual birthday party at the Holiday Inn Harbourside and Jimmy Guana's.  The reservation lines are now open and room rates are only $79 - $199!  Be sure to mention that you are with the Tampa Bay Parrot Head Club in order to obtain these rates.  Call them at 727-595-9484.  Patrick Foy and the Conch Critters, Connie and the DeLie'ed Parrots and FlipFlop Dave Fogler will be providing the entertainment for the weekend.  Stay tuned for more details. 

Beach Clean-up & PARTY -- It's Time to Cleeeeeeeeeeeean the Beaches!!!
MARK THE DATE -- Saturday, September 16th, is The Florida Coastal Cleanup.  Each year on the 3rd Saturday in September, Keep Hillsborough County Beautiful, Inc. (a nonprofit organization) coordinates the Cleanup locally.  This event is part of the International Coastal Cleanup, which is coordinated by the Ocean Conservancy.  This is the largest marine-related Cleanup in the world!  Last year more than 2,400 volunteers collected more than 56,000 pounds of trash along our local beaches and waterways.  This is a "t-shirt event."  There will be sign-up sheets at the meetings.  If you can't make the meetings, please contact David, our Chief Officer of Community Events by e-mail - dolphin96 at verizon.net or phone 727-543-6548 or 727-734-8263 to sign up.  This is a great opportunity for anyone who needs community service hours to acquire those hours and to help leave the world a little better than we found it. 
  
As always we will meet in the parking lot of Whiskey Joe's (south on Rocky Point Road on the east end of the Courtney Campbell Causeway) at 9:30 a.m. and hit the beaches around 10:00.  Bring gloves and a hat and wear good shoes!  The post party details are in the works but you can be assured the post party will be awesome as usual.
