of 12 ships in the Parrot Head Navy.
With 12 ships, a georgeous day, and 45 Parrot
Heads --- need we say more? A great, great
time and wonderful
party!
- I'm home, recovery is going a little slower than I would like, and I still need to take it real easy for a couple of more weeks so it can be GAME ON for FloriDaze. Thanks again for the cards, flowers, phone calls, emails and PH karma. Thanks to the Fruitcakes Board and FloriDaze steering committee for picking up my slack, and Biker Steve for manning the Helm! Also a HUGE TEEEEAAAMMM DRINK to Doc Susan for putting these emails together for me and making my job a WHOLE lot easier!!!

The Ichnetucknee River is a little north of Gainesville, about a 2+ hour drive from Tampa Bay.
For this event, we will drive up
Friday night and stay at the local
Econo Lodge,
then get to the park for the 8am Saturday tubing run. The Tubing Trip is a
Partnering event with the Sarasota Bay Parrot Head
Club. The tube ride is followed by a cook out -- Parrot Head style -- at
the hotel pool. This is a not-to-be-missed outing. If you have never
gone tubing down the Ichnetucknee, you will be amazed at how much fun the ride
can be! More details will be available as we get closer to the date of the
event.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
It takes a lot of oars in the water to keep this
ship afloat and we have a lot of rowing spots where we need YOU!! The club is looking for a few Parrot Heads to
work at Membership, the Phins Store, the
Raffle, and the
Membership Table. If you can offer some time to help make the
best club in the world even better, please see Biker Steve,
our First Mate and Volunteer Coordinator .
