PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
2008

 

Greetings Panama City Phlock

 

What a great time to be a member of the Panama City Parrot Head Club.  There is so much going on right now both within the club and the local community.  The Board of Directors would like to take this opportunity to make a few major announcements.

 

First, we would like everyone to congratulate Patti Fritchie on becoming a Regional Communicator for our mother ship, PHIP or Parrot Heads in Paradise .  For those of you who do not know, PHIP is the governing body of all of the Parrot Head clubs.  It is with great appreciation that we introduce Patti to you in her official capacity.

 

Secondly, yes it is true and Margaritaville is definitely going to open in the next month or so.  I just received final confirmation that Panama City Parrot Head Club will be the official home club of the Pier Park Margaritaville.  We are not moving our meetings. What this means to us as a club is that they will fully support our endeavors and help promote our civic responsibilities.  There will be more to come on this topic.  I have been asked by Margaritaville that as President of the Club I be the only point of contact for donations or participation in any of our events.  I would ask each of you to respect their request and help build a wonderful working relationship with this organization.  If anyone has any questions or suggestions on this subject, please drop me an email to president@panamacityphc.org.

 

Third, I would like to personally thank each of the Board members and current committee members for the work that is going into the 3rd annual Panama City Parrot Head Rendezvous.   As you know, the cut off for registration is 300 persons.  We are well on our way to that number.  I would encourage anyone that has not registered to do so before the cut off is reached.  This is an excellent opportunity to show solidarity for the club as well as our beneficiary Anchorage Children’s Home.  The weekend of April 18th, 2008 is going to be filled with unbelievable tropical music, beach games, a silent auction, a cheeseburger in paradise lunch, special guests, fireworks, I am sure a few boat drinks and an opportunity to “Party with a Purpose”.  Don’t wait, register today.  Check out the website www.parrotheadrendezvous.org .  The rooms are going fast.

 

As a BOD, we would like to thank you all for your continued commitment to our club.  We look forward to seeing each of you at an upcoming meeting or event.  If you have not been to a meeting or Phlocking in a while, come check us out and be a part of the excitement.

 

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Panama City Parrot Head Club, Phins Up!
