From The President
Goodbye 2015, Hello 2016!
This is my last article as the 2015 President of our club - Tammy Bauman is assuming that honor
for 2016. And, an honor it has been. I love our club and its members and the great heart and
passion we put in to Partying With A Purpose.
Thanks to the 2015 BOD and Committee Chairs and welcome to the 2016ers! It takes many hands
to keep the ship afloat and steering towards our goals. Please consider stepping up this year and
joining our leadership in some way. We’re always looking for committee members and event
chairs.
Parrot Grande 2016 - Mark your calendars for August 26-28, 2016. We’ve got some changes
coming for the event but it will still be at Pointe Tapatio Cliffs and it will still be a blast. Our
entertainment lineup is set with Sam Rainwater, Mark Mulligan, Bob Karwin and, new to our
event, James “Sunny Jim” White and Southern Drawl Band. I can’t wait! Registration will be
open soon and more details will follow!
2016 Dues - Don’t forget to pay your dues. PayPal invoices were sent to everyone but you can
also pay by check to the PO box or, better yet, come to an event and hand over your dough. We
would love to see you!
Looking forward to all the fun to be had in 2016 - let’s make it the best year ever!

PHiP Western
Alzheimer's Memory Walk - November 14
Thanks for helping us do our part to help people affected by this
awful disease.
All Parrot Heads were collectively challenged by the Alzheimer’s Association and our parent
organization, Parrot Heads in Paradise (PHiP) to surpass a lofty fundraising goal in 2015. The clubs
stepped up, big time, and exceeded the overall $100,000 challenge to raise a total of $155,205.99!
(Yes, .99.) That makes us a Silver Level National Supporter of the organization.
The Arizona Parrot Head Club participated in the Phoenix Alzheimer’s Association’s Walk To End
Alzheimer’s as part of this effort. It was on a gorgeous November morning. While I was in favor of
the 1K walk because I’m inherently lazy, we ended up on the 5K route. At least, I got my 10,000
steps in for the day.
Thanks to the efforts of our walkers, Tammy Bauman, Mary Harrigan, Elaine Jordan, Karen Lyons
and yours truly and fundraising assistance led by Penny and Robert Backhaus among others, we
raised $1,733 for the cause.
Of course, we had to rehydrate after our exertions so we moseyed to Ajo Al’s for lunch on the patio
where we were joined by a group of club members. It was a lovely time. Looking forward to repeating
the experience in 2016 - hope you can join us!

Christmas/Holid
Another successful Christmas/Holiday Party is in the books! We
had a special visitor this year; we knew Bob ‘Bobo’ Cornell was
coming from New Mexico. What we didn’t know – he was
bringing our dear friend Wastnawa with him! And in true
Wastnawa style he came dressed up so he could surprise
everyone! It was so awesome to see him.
Thom Strupp won the hat contest (thanks to Susan Gayle’s sewing
talent). Crash did win the joke contest this year though several
others gave it a shot! I think if Adam Lyons could remember his
jokes; he has a chance at it. J
We broke out 50/50 raffle record - $640! Half went to our 4th
Quarter charity (Dogs on Deployment) and the other half went to
Kathy Pfister (who bought Packer/Cardinal football tickets with
it; not much else to say about that).
We also drew a second name for a Landshark banner which was
one by Elaine Jordan!
We had representatives at the party from USO Arizona; it was
awesome to have them here.
The big winner of the night – Andrea’s Closet! We collected
about $1500 worth of toys! Of course having some very
competitive club members helped with that.
It’s always a good time with all the delicious food club members
bring, giving to our charities and just seeing everyone!
See you next year!
