A MESSAGE FROM THE CAPTAIN

Summer is here, and it’s nice and warm….well not tonight when I’m writing this, but you know, in general!!

I thought it fitting that our next meeting be held outdoors, and our Membership Director agreed, so we’ll be hosting the next meeting at our house. I’ll put my bbq skills to the test—we’ll supply the burgers and dogs, you bring something to complement it. Please RSVP to my e-mail, or to Jane’s, and let us know how many will be coming, and what you would like to bring.

Have you been thinking about Parrotphest since our last meeting? C’mon, you can be honest!!! The time has come that we need to start securing items for our Silent Auction, and selling tickets to the event. Please try to come to the next meeting with thoughts, ideas, and/or commitments for items to put in the auction. The tickets are ready, so please take a few and help us sell out the event to raise money for our charities!

I look forward to hearing from those members who attended the Michigan show — at least about the parts they can remember and/or are willing to mention!!! Also, has anyone been into the new Margaritaville in Niagara Falls? Please come and share your experience with us!

Have any thoughts or ideas of things you would like to see at future meetings? Let me know. We’re always looking for new directions.

Phins Up!

Dave, Captain of the Crew
