Penny "Daisy Girl" Weimer personifies the Jimmy Buffett, laid-back lifestyle as well as any pirate, or wench, in this case. With a song in her heart and unfettered enthusiasm running through her veins, she always seems to bring a smile to everyone around her. As an active member of the Tallahassee Parrot Head Club since 2004, Penny has served in many capacities, including Captain and First Mate. She has donated count- less volunteer hours to the local community and chaired numerous events, including the Parrot Head Phrenzy for eleven straight years, TPHC's largest annual fundraiser. Penny, along with her husband Gregg and Penny “Daisy Girl” Weimer son Riley, have formed lasting friendships within the club. With any amount of luck, and a good wind at their backs, Penny and her crew will continue to play a vital role in the Tallahassee Parrot Head Club for a long time to come. 8 9 The 26th Annual Meeting of the Minds 2017 Update! Hello Everyone! I wanted to give you an update as Meeting of the Minds 2017 registration and the Casa Marina MOTM reservations block opened back on December 27 just over two weeks ago! BE ADVISED!! The CASA MARINA IS SOLD OUT!!! As I told you when the Casa reservations opened on December 27th…the hotel will sell out very fast!! Well the record has been broken! Less than three weeks! Now what? The 2017 MOTM Wait List for the Casa Marina - Here are the 3 steps below: Register for Meeting of the Minds 2017. REMEMBER YOU MUST BE REGISTERED FOR MEETING OF THE MINDS 2017 TO STAY AT THE CASA MARINA OR BE ON THE WAIT LIST FOR THE CASA. Book your room at the Reach Resort. While our awesome Parrot Head rate is only valid at the Casa Marina the Reach is offering a discount to our group this year. This Reach Resort rate will not be as low as the Casa rate but it is a booking discount. There are some Casa Marina cancellations every year so booking early will put you up the list as we do go in order to move people over as vacancy happens through the year. This can happen right up to the event so give the hotel your cell number not your home number for contact! Here are the steps! Email our MOTM Director of Registration Rick Fyffe at [email protected] Put in the title of your email "MOTM Casa Marina Wait List." Tell Rick you are booked at the Reach and registered for MOTM. Rick will add you to the Casa Marina wait list in the order in which you contact him. We have to fill the Casa Marina so we will work very hard to move everyone we can as cancellations occur. We will be working down the order in which you reply to Rick Fyffe. Sorry for any confusion but it is best to manage this wait list through Rick vs. contacting the hotel. Here is the special link to the Reach Resort for our group discount – Again this is NOT the same rate as the Casa Marina.
