THE PRESIDENT’S PERCH
on with more but I think you’ve got the gist. For those who are wonder-ing, “Who is this Kathy per-son?”, here’s a little back-ground for you. Back in 2000, I had finished Gradu-ate school and was looking for a charitable organization to give my now free time to. However, I was paralyzed by so many choices. I went to my first Arizona Parrot Head Club meeting in Feb-ruary of that year and they rattled off a half dozen char-ities they were going to work with that year. They were doing the decision making for me! To paraphrase The Man, I knew I had found me a home.
Happy New Year, Parrot Heads! It is my great honor to be serving you all as President of Parrot Heads in Paradise for the next two years. Thank you to Chris “Papa” Zuest for his work this past four years in that role. Papa is awesome! Also, thanks to David Cohen for accepting another term as Secretary and Andrew Talbert for con-tinuing in his role of Direc-tor of Conventions. Finally, welcome to Vince MacQueen who is joining me from the ranks of the Regional Communicators to assume the role of Director of Communications. I gotta tell you, I’m pretty excited about working with all of the above plus Andy Harrell, Char Schultheis and Charley Gingrow as the 2016 PHiP Board of Direc-tors. Good people, one and all! I’ll also be assuming Papa’s National Ticket Coordinator Duties. The local Ticket Co-ordinators and I won’t com-plain one bit about being kept busy so here’s hoping Jimmy decides to travel far
and wide so everyone has an opportunity to see a show this year! For those who run big events, you know that the ink isn’t dry on closing the books before you’re working on the next event. It’s no different on the national level. Andrew and many others are already hard at work planning our 25th Meet-ing of the Minds which will be held November 2 - 6, 2016 in Key West, Florida. This year’s theme is “Here we are”. I’m interpreting that as a celebra-tion of the events that have brought us all together. And, seriously, where else would we want to be? Many people will give their efforts, large and small, to our convention as the year goes on. What you can do to help now is make sure your fellow Parrot Heads know everything about the event. That it’s a fantastic opportunity to experience Trop Rock artists from across the country. That you have the op-portunity to see friends from all over. That you can make even more friends from all over. That our convention ef-forts support several local Keys charities. That it’s just a darn good time. That I can go
cont. next pg.

Sixteen years later, I’m still at home after serving in various offices on my local club’s BOD, as PHiP Elections Of-ficer and MOTM Registration Assistant and completing two stints as a Regional Communi-cator. There are so many people to thank for supporting me on this Parrot Head Journey. Other Club Leaders, PHiP BOD members past and present and my best buds, Regional Com-municators past and present are at the top of the list. The latter have become some of my great-est friends and I hope I still get invited to the MOTM RC Team Drink in 2016. ;) If I ever get to meet The Man, I will thank him for inspiring this great organization that has giv-en me so many wonderful friends, countless experiences and memories and provided so much to our communities. As I said at the beginning, it is an honor to serve. Here we are in 2016 - it’s going to be a great year! Kathy Pfister, President Parrot Heads in Paradise, Inc.

ship is that the BOD makes a concerted effort to get our mem-bership involved in Club deci-sions. Our membership votes on every decision, starting with a charity selection process. I be-lieve our process is pretty unique. In January our members nominate a local charity for con-sideration to be a beneficiary of our Fund Raising efforts. When all is said and done, our mem-bers vote for six charities, rank-ing them 1-6. The top two char-ities become the beneficiaries of our main fundraiser, our Anni-versary Party. The 3rd place charity becomes the beneficiary of our second highest fund rais-er, the Charity Pub Crawl. The other four charities receive funds from other events we run during the year. This process empowers our members and makes them feel part of our fam-ily. We also are a very active club, participating in a minimum of 12 community and charity events every year (16 in 2015). Our community events include beach cleanups, food drives, wa-
The San Diego Parrot Head is extremely excited and honored to have won the 2015 Golden Coco-nut Award. This award was 20+ years in the making. We were founded in 1995. In 1996 Bob and Sharon Clark were elected to the positions of President and Vice President, and we are still here. We have evolved into more than a “party with a purpose” 501 c (4) club. We are a family, help-ing our club members and the community at large with our time and our funds. We have been blessed with a consistent Boards of Directors (BOD). The current BOD members have held the same positions for well over 5 years, in some cases 10 years. This, with an active, dedicated, and cohesive membership, has allowed us to grow from less than 100 members to over 500 mem-bers, and made us one of the top 5 largest Clubs in the Parrot Head Nation. And we have over an 80% membership retention rate. One thing that has helped us grow and maintain our member-
ter stops in race events, and sports tournaments. We hold a minimum of four major fundrais-ers every year. This includes a pub-crawl, which draws 120 plus members and friends in two dou-ble deck buses, and raises an av-erage of over $4000 for a local charity. Our main charity event is our An-niversary Party fundraiser. It started as a one-day event, but has grown into a three-day affair with bands Thursday and Friday nights, and 11 hours of non-stop Trop Rock and Rock and Roll music on Saturday. It is held at the end of September in a campground on by Mission Bay. We reserve over 140 campsites and have over 600 paid attendees and another 500 plus gests not associated with the Club. In addi-tion to the music on Saturday, we have a beer and wine garden, a silent auction, and an opportunity drawing. At this party in 2015, we raised $40,000 for two local charities selected by our mem-bers. This year we will raise over $52,000 for local charities, and will have had over 1200 volun-teers who spent more than 5000 hours on our community and charity events. We are very proud of our club, and I am thankful and blessed to lead one of the best Clubs in the Parrot Head Nation. Bob Clark, President SDPHC

Coconut Award is the San Diego PHC!

Meeting of the Minds By Andrew Talbert, PHiP Director of Conventions
sound and lighting crews were awesome! Thank you all. Final-ly to wrap up the 2015 mes-sage…THANK YOU JIMMY BUFFETT and the Coral Reefer Band for making the 24th annual Meeting of the Minds a special one. That was honestly one of the best Jimmy Buffett set lists I have personally seen since the 1970’s. ON TO 2016!! This year marks the 25th annual Meeting of the Minds and that number is one to reflect on. A quarter of a centu-ry of Parrot Heads getting to-gether and having a blast! Nice job to all who have been a part of this event at any point in the past and in the present! The wheels are spinning and the telephones are burning up as MOTM 2016 planning is in full swing. I want to give you an update! Registration is under-way and the Casa Marina 2016 booking link is live online. Let
Hello Parrot Heads!! Registration for the 25th Annu-al Meeting of the Minds “Here We Are” is open!! The wheels are in motion for another great event in 2016 in sunny and warm Key West! 2016 promises to be a great year with all the music and fun you have come to expect at Meeting of the Minds! Before I go on to more 2016 news I want to mention a few things about MOTM 2015 to close the door on the last event. What was accomplished in Key West at Meeting of the Minds? We had PHun! The weather was beautiful! We were surrounded by our PHriends! We raised some PHunds for some great charities and organizations to donate in 2016! There was great music! Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band were there! There were toys and gift cards donated for kids in the lower keys! We raised scholar-ship money for our college Keets for 2016! We left 170 pints of precious blood in the lower keys! That was the fourth highest total blood drive ever and one to be proud of for sure. The Zonta walk many of our PHolks participated in raised $13,000 at last count. I should mention that the charities who saw contributions this year were the PHiP Scholarship Fund, Key West SPCA, the KOA Care Camps, and Key West Po-lice Athletic League. Our PHiP 501(c)3 charity arm, the Lone Palm Foundation, raised over
$10,000 at the live auction for Parrot Head charity use! I want to take a moment to thank every person who volun-teered any moment of time dur-ing MOTM. The more times I go back to this event the more I discover how so many people take time to do small things or literally work an entire day or even sometimes the entire week doing things to support the event. I wish I could person-ally thank everyone who donat-ed a single minute to MOTM. Without every volunteer this event would never even get started. It is ALL ABOUT YOU…every one of you volun-teers. Thank you. Rest up and come back in November! I want to also thank all the art-ists for the entertainment! Our

PHIP Introduces the 2016 National Alzheimer’s Walk Team
Captain Bob Noonan
PHIP would like to introduce the New Alzheimer’s Team Captain for 2016 … Mr. Bob Noonan of the Chicago PHC!
Bob joined the Chicago Parrot Head Club in 2003 and he has been an active participant with the Club and its activities for over 13 years. Bob served as President of the Chi-cago Parrot Head Club and is cur-rently the Club’s Charity Director. Serving as Charity Director for 6 years, he focused his efforts to im-prove the Club’s involvement with the charities the Club has chosen to share its time, talent and treasure. One of the charities Bob reviewed was the Alzheimer’s Association. The Chicago Club annually walked in the Alzheimer’s Association’s Memory Walk as did many other clubs, but Bob felt the Club was not putting enough effort into actu-al fundraising initiatives associated with the Memory Walk. He reached out to the local Chapter of Alzheimer’s to see how the Club could improve its involvement with the Alzheimer’s Association. One thing led to another and through his involvement with the local organization he was able to interact with many of the officers
of the Alzheimer’s Association of Greater Illinois. As a result of his involvement, he applied for a Board of Director position and was appointed to the Alzheimer's Association of Greater Illinois Board of Directors for a three-year term. This chapter focuses its efforts to raise awareness and fundraise throughout Illinois. As a result of Bob’s Board posi-tion, the Chicago Parrot Head Club has become much more ac-tive in fundraising and participa-tion in the Memory Walk fighting to cure Alzheimer’s. In fact, the Chicago Parrott Head Club has been the #1 Alz. Walk fundraising club for the last 4 years. Bob also was awarded the PHIP trophy for holding the honor as the top fundraiser for 2014!! It only made sense to approach him to lead the way and serve as the PHIP National Alzheimer’s Team Captain for 2016. Soon he will be sending out indi-vidual emails to each of our Club contacts on how to sign up with our National Team or how to sign back in to your Team page. Watch your email in early Febru-ary for Team information from Bob. We hope you will consider join-ing us in 2016 if you haven’t in the past. For you returning Teams, Bob will serve as the liai-son between our participating Chapters and the Alzheimer’s Association. The PHIP Board would like to Welcome & Thank Bob in ad-vance for stepping into this very important position!!
PARROT HEAD 2016 CHARITY CHALLENGE
This past Christmas time the members of the Southside Vir-ginia Landsharks gave them-selves what may have been the most rewarding gift they re-ceived in the year. They hit the streets with hundreds of crisp, $20 bills in plain Christmas money holders, to distribute to those they encountered that they sensed could really use the mon-ey. No fanfare, no advance no-tice, not even a mention of their name on the envelopes. Mike said “We don't do a lot, as a small club, but we do. We don't make a big difference, but we make a difference. We are Blessed. Now the Challenge: This year, I'd like to challenge the Parrot-head Nation. It doesn't have to be big, just from the Heart. And you'll know when the time is right to do it, trust me. Keep writing those checks and drop-ping change in the red buckets, but also put a face with your generosity this year. Don't do it for the Tax deduction - do it be-cause you are Human. And you, too, will give yourself what will probably be the best gift you’ll receive this year. “ From Mike and the Landsharks, in Southside Virginia
