15 DAYS UNTIL Growing Older But Not Up 2026

[Des Moines Parrot Head Club]

OK Parrotheads friends and Families don't miss this opportunity to give back and keep the party going - What better way to honor and pay tribute to the late great Jimmy Buffett!!!

15 days until this Phun event to benefit Alzheimer's Association.  The countdown continues GET YOUR TICKETS - PARTY WITH A PURPOSE - Links to tickets below.

The real reason for this evening is to support the Alzheimer's Association in their efforts to find a cure. The percentage of people with Alzheimer's dementia increases with age: 5.0% of people age 65 to 74, 13.1% of people age 75 to 84, and 33.2% of people age 85 and older have Alzheimer's dementia. Help us fight this statistic! In the last 3 phlockings this event raised $18,500. Help push that number to over $25,000!!!!  

Still time leading up to this event for a couple things we all can do to contribute to the success of this event and increase the amount we give to the Alzheimer's Association - 

• Please remember to collect items for donation such as gift cards and other items for baskets and/or auction.   It all helps.  Attached below is a flyer for the event and a letter from the club with further explanation of the event. (Contact one of the officers listed below and arrangements will be made to collect the donations)  
• If you are planning on attending please go ahead and get you tickets now, it helps with planning for catering and the venue

Please forward this to your friends and family.  The event does not disappoint!!!  It is a great opportunity to give back and have a great time doing so.  Great Atmosphere, Live Music, Food, Raffle Items and Items to Bid On.  Among the items donated so far this year is an Electric Scooter, Romantic Dinner Train Ride and various gift cards.

Willing to bet there is not a person reading this who has not had a friend or family member affected by this debilitating condition.  What an opportunity to contribute to treatments or cure and have some great phun doing so.  Truly a win-win for all - get the great feeling for giving back and have a great time doing so!!!  No better way to carry on as Jimmy said - 'Keep The Party Gong' and the Parrot Head way 'Party With A Purpose'

See you all there!!!
