But there is nothing ordinary to our Southwest Florida Parrot Head Club when we find a special cause to champion, and 2016 was exceptionally special as our focus was to raise as much money possi- ble for the Southwest Florida Alzheimer's Foundation. This disease has hit near and devastatingly hard to too many of our PHellow Parrot Heads, PHriends, and PHamily members, and it was time for us to strike back. From the Golisano Children’s Hospital, the American Cancer Society, the Ronald McDonald House, Big Hearts for Big Dogs, or the Cape Coral Caring Center (just to mention a few), our fund-raising efforts turn into a year-long quest that culminates at our annual Pit-Stop Party/club birthday bash held for the past three years at the Para 10 dise Tiki Hut at the Dolphin Key Resort, lo- cated in Cape Coral. Their cooperation and generosity has played a huge part in our event growing by leaps and bounds ena- bling us to help more and more charities. The Pit Stop Party is exactly as it sounds. The Sunday prior to the annual Parrot Head convention in Key West known as the ‘Meeting of the Minds’ (MOTM), both nation- ally known Trop-Rock artists and local SW Florida talent making the trek south, take a pit stop with the SWFL Parrot Heads and friends entertaining hundreds of local fans. Great prizes were taken home by many lucky winners, including our grand prize of a week’s stay in Mexico. Continued on page 12 11 Southwest Florida Parrot Head Club Continued from page 11 Months and months of planning and coordination by hard working local Parrot Heads all culminates with an all-day celebration of music beginning at breakfast and ending at midnight. Because of our cause that was near and dear to many of our hearts and the great tal- ent of the musicians who took time to come and play, our October 30, 2016 bash sur- passed all previous events, raising $4500 for Alzheimer’s with our check presentation at one of our bi-monthly gatherings in February. National and area musicians who performed at the 2016 PSP and were broadcast over Radio A1A: Mike Miller of the Boat Drunks, Sunny Jim White, John Friday, Paul Larson, Rudy Cox, Thom and Coley Shepard, Brian and Michele Fields, Terri Hood, Scotty Bryan, Loren Davidson, Donny Brewer, Don Middlebrook, Joel Block, Tiki Tom Starkey, Rich McGuire, Dave Burks and Randy Knight We are already in the planning stages for the 6th Annual MOTM Pit Stop Party and the club’s 23rd birthday coming your way Sunday, October 29, 2017, back at the Paradise Tiki. This one promises to be bigger and better than ever. So, mark your calendars, get there early, and prepare to have a blast for a great cause. Once again, Alzheimer’s will be the beneficiary of our efforts, and ‘Party with a Purpose’ will have that special meaning that all Parrot Heads and their clubs know… that’s a lot more than just a slogan!
