Here comes summer!!!
We had a great Happy Hour in May with Texas Tide at Crabby Jacks. It was fantastic and we had
a banner month for new members – nineteen signed up that night. Thanks to all that came and
supported the club. The Margaritaville Frozen Concoction raffle winners were Scott and Lisa
Caudill – congratulations and thanks for buying so many raffle tickets!

The June 1st “Cheeseburgers in Paradise” was a great start for summer; about 80 people were
there with all their food contributions. Thanks to the cooks, Randi Wayland, Dave Spenny,
3 Gordon Lewis, Rick Carroll, and Paul Bobo for braving the heat and cooking all those burgers and
hot dogs. It was great to hear Chad Van Delden on his steel drum. Also, we want to give a very
4 special thanks to the founders of SAPHC, Garrett and Pam Van Delden for hosting us at their
5 home.

Notes from the Vice President
Mani Andrade
Wow! Now I know why it's called Survive! Hope everyone made it home safe and sound.
It was one heck of a weekend. Lots of fun and hard work, but well worth it. Did any one find my Yellow Survive T-shirt ? Guess it
didn’t survive. Port A was great, the activities and music were awesome! Triggerfish was pretty good too. Did you see me up on
stage? So let me start by extending a great big THANK YOU to all who put it together, and those who volunteered. A big thanks
to Dwayne Wilkins for the trailer to carry all our stuff. Paul Bobo outdid himself again providing everything we needed for our
day at the beach. Carol Garner who is good at what she does and all the parrot heads that helped her. Last but not least, Sally &
David Spenny -- are they the coolest or what! We have our work cut out for us for next yearto try to top this year’s Survive '08.
As always, your V.P., Mani
Notes from the Editor
Diana Carroll
You know, I thought April was a great month, and then May, but June has been a total blast so far, and then we have July…..It’s
shaping up to be one of the best years ever for the San Antonio Parrotheads. At least, we’re trying to make it that.
What can I say? If you were at Cheeseburgers in Paradise at the Van Deldens’, or at Survive in Port Aransas, you know what I’m talking about. If you weren’t, well, you missed out on some of the most fun events you can imagine. See Sally’s write up on page 6-7
along with the awesome email from the manager at Mariner’s Inn. If you weren’t there, you cannot imagine how welcome they made
us feel. It was like going home for the weekend. The phun’s not over yet — we have more planned with the Summer Splash coming
up in July and our Anniversary Party in September….and maybe we’ll throw a couple Happy Hours in there as well. I know to me,
some of the best times I’ve ever had have been when I get together with other Parrotheads.
Also, you may notice — our ranks our growing. Look at the list of new members on page 2 this
month — There were too many to list in the corner of the front page!

Survive! 08
SURVIVE 08 was fantastic!!!!
What a way to start off summer. It was beautiful
weather, and Linda Ayers, manager of The Mariner Inn,
did her “special dance” and promised that it wouldn’t
rain. She pulled through and she and her husband, Denny,
kept everything going smooth. The staff was so friendly
and everyone was anxious to be sure we had a good time.
And boy did we!! Our “Parrot Head Rendezvous” was spectacular thanks to the hotel staff, owner Julie Marks and
husband David Zuefeldt. The welcome marquee sign set
the stage and then when David hung a 25 X 3 foot banner
on the balcony saying “WELCOME S.A. PARROT HEADS!”
we knew we truly were
welcome.
The weekend started
with a cookout at the
pool with Dave Spenny
and Paul Bobo again
braving the fire to cook
up some chicken, burgers and hot dogs.
They were fantastic to
volunteer to cook
again. Even Mani
Andrade chipped in
and took a turn at it.
That night we even got
to listen to the Atlanta
Jimmy Buffett concert on Sirius radio right there in the
parking lot by the pool!!
Then on Friday some of the team game participants got
really creative with the photo scavenger hunt. You’ll be
able to tell when you see the pictures!! Some were really
imaginative. Later that afternoon we were at the pool
and had our “toe nail painting”. Thanks to Sara Guerrero,
Carol Garner and Diana Carroll for meeting the challenge
to paint any toe!! Those that participated in getting their
toe nails painted donated over $300 for the San Antonio
Food Bank. Well done and thanks to all that “Partied with
a Purpose”.
creatures. Our own marine biologist, Amy Hughes was
right there with them. We had lots of pizza delivered to
the dock and some brought Jell-O shots to share with everyone. Did you know that Jell-O is a food group?
Thanks to Carol Garner for organizing the “beach games”
and all of those that helped out that morning and afternoon – it takes awhile to fill water balloons and 1 liter
coke bottles for the beach bowling. Our game participants were really good sports with the beach bowling,
mystery food and baby bottle chugging contest. I sure
hope no one hurt their back doing the limbo - some just
kept going and getting lower with each pass. It was amazing how flexible some
people are!! Saturday
afternoon, Paul, the
owner of the Tarpon
Ice House came down
to the beach with some
free sandwiches for our
hungry game participants!! It was really
special.
Congratulations to the
“Yellow Team” for winning the “beach
games”. Also, something new we added
this year was a door
decorating contest – thanks to all that participated and
congratulations to Lesley McMurray and her roommates for
winning! This just adds a little extra to the fun we have
and hope to see more participate next year.
The “Blenders on the Beach” drink making contest was a
real treat. Karen Mather won for best tasting and Carol
Garner for best presentation. Thanks to Fred and Sara
Guerrero (long time winners) for helping with this event
and making their great Pina Coladas for all to taste. Paul
Bobo and Chris Spriggs also had some good stuff to try!
Hope to see more participants next year! We love trying
different things….
We had a very pleasant boat cruise on Friday night looking We had a beautiful evening and even more fun listening to
for dolphins, enjoying the sea breeze and watching the
Triggerfish play their island music at our big bash at the
sunset over the light house. The young ‘keets really enpool on Saturday. But that’s not all, we had some more
joyed their “hands on” experience with some smaller sea

surprises. Kathy and Blake Winterrowd donated some items for prizes. Then the owner of FLY PORT A showed up and
donated a yard decoration to use as one of our prizes for our contests. Then, to top it off, the owners and manager
of The Mariner Inn wanted to give the winner of the drink making contest a weekend at the hotel. Wow, that was a
real surprise and Karen Mather will get to enjoy another weekend at Port A.
I have a long list of people to thank for making this a very memorable event. Survive Committee Co-Chairman Mani
Andrade and Carol Garner - These two people put so much time in planning everything then they worked so hard setting it up once we got there. Most of it is “behind the scenes” so you don’t always see it except for the finished product. Be sure and thank them for all of the time and effort they put in to it. It really takes a lot of effort to put together an event like this. Karen Mather, E Jay Bill and I were our other primary members of the committee that
helped giving inputs and guiding the group in making decisions. Other volunteers on the committee were: Dave
Spenny, Leslie McMurray, Amy Hughes, Diana Batson, Dee Parchman, Dwayne Wilkins and Lydia Beach.
A special thanks to Simply We for doing our SURVIVE logo and T-Shirts and making up the free T-Shirts for the ‘keets,
providing the yellow lanyards, Survive buttons, and the small purple plastic holders and 6-pack coolers – they really
came in handy for a weekend at the coast. They also threw in a box of other “goodies and toys” for us. It’s great
having members (Dwayne Wilkins and Lydia Beach) that are sponsors too!
Dwayne Wilkins helped us a bunch by providing a trailer to haul all of our stuff, plus a truckload of firewood for a bonfire. (It was awesome on the beach late Saturday night!) Paul Bobo set up his parachutes again so that we could
have shade on the beach and Doug and Kathy Cobb parked their RV at our site so we’d have access to power for the
sound system.
Thanks to Tom Bill for getting us the ecco bags to put our Survive logo on to use for prizes. They turned out really
great. Tom and E Jay Bill rescued us from Sam’s Club when we had too many people, too much stuff, and not enough
room in the car to get everything we bought to the hotel. Also, E Jay spent a lot of time collecting information about
Port Aransas and Corpus Christi to give out to people, plus scouting out places and looking for discounts/donations for
us.
I also have to thank my husband, Dave Spenny, for working whatever needed to be done, supporting us in all that we
did, and for adding the “fun factor” with his Malibu Shark and his coconut bra and grass skirt.
Well, that’s a long list of things to write about, I hope that I didn’t forget anyone! But I also want to thank all of you
Parrot Heads for registering and paying in advance. All of the volunteers, participants and the board of directors
really put a lot of effort into making this a great weekend!
Sally Spenny, President, San Antonio Parrot Head Club
Email from Linda at Mariner’s Inn to Sally
(Talk about continuing to make us feel welcome even after we’ve left!)
Hey Sally,
Well we sure had a great time with all of your fantastic group. I have never seen so many wonderful people in one place at a
time. On behalf of everyone at Mariner Inn, it was our pleasure to have you all here. The smiles on all your friendly faces are still
fresh in our minds and the stories we have to tell are awesome.
Personally, I feel truly blessed to meet such a wonderful group that enjoy each and every day. The fact that you all "Party With A
Purpose" is the icing on the cake. You and your group help so many people that will never know how wonderful you really are. I
thank you for the opportunity to get to know you and hear more about your good deeds.
Love you guys loads!!!

Summer Splash Committee Hard at Work
The SAPHC Summer Splash Committee has selflessly sacrificed its weekends to tirelessly plan every facet of
this Summer's Lake Party on July 19th. In the pursuit of philanthropic partying the Committee has endeavored to organize what is hoped to become an annual phlocking for the Club. Being the inaugural event, you
can imagine the logistics of implementing a party of such grand magnitude. Location, directions, facilties,
reservations, menu, cooking, music, boats, signs, communications - all meticulously planned by, frankly, a
committee of "givers" that have astounded. To insure your complete satisfaction, the Summer Splash Committee has agreed to convene additional "committee meetings" at Canyon Lake and to arrive at the
Randolph Canyon Lake Recreation Park a day early to attend to every last detail. No need for thanks - the
smiles on your faces will be reward enough.
Information Void?
Are you not receiving information about club activities? Do you know another member who is not receiving
information? Most likely, it’s because you are not a member of the Yahoo Group. If you aren’t receiving
the info, please contact me, the Directory of Communications, Diana Carroll, at [email protected].
I will work with you to get you signed up for the group so you can stay informed about club activities. Our
group is moderated which means you won’t get a lot of chatter — only information about club activities. If
you don’t want to sign up, that’s okay but you’ll miss out on staying informed about what is going on.

SAPHC Happy Hour
Our monthly Club Happy Hours are usually held on the third Thirstday of the
month (that’s Thursday) from 6:00-9:00 p.m. at Crabby Jack’s, HWY 281
North. Please check the calendar and the website and read your Yahoo
Group emails for calendar changes and details!
Don’t forget to bring your current SAPHC Membership Badge to take advantage of discounts and to receive your drawing tickets.
Important Information for all SAPHC Members
Membership. Your membership expiration
date is on your badge. The month before
your membership expires, we will send you
an email to remind you to renew. The
month it expires, we will send another
email as a final reminder to renew. Your
membership and all Parrot Points earned
will remain in good standing for 30 days
after your expiration date. Please renew
prior to that.
The membership database is maintained by
Evan and Kathy Tauber. If there are any
changes to your mailing address or phone
number please contact them at: [email protected] or call 210-391-5260.
Reminder: Please wear your membership
badge to all SAPHC events and activities.
This will identify you as a Club member and
make it easier to get to know each other.
Parrot Points. The Parrot Point system is
what we use to determine who qualifies to
purchase club tickets to the Buffett concerts. Parrot Points are earned by partici-
pation in events specified by the BOD.
Look for the Parrot Point symbol throughout the newsletter for opportunities to
earn points.
Yahoo Group. The SAPHC uses our Yahoo
Group (sa_phc) to send out notices and to
keep members informed. The group is
moderated which means that we keep messages limited to club events and you won’t
receive other info or “chatter” via this
group. You should have received an invitation to join the Yahoo Group when you
joined the club. If you didn’t, or if you are
not receiving the notices, please contact
our Director of Communications, Diana
Carroll, at [email protected]. Of
course, you can also opt not to join the
Yahoo Group – but you’ll miss a lot of info.
Suggestions. Suggestions to make the
Club better are always welcome. Every
suggestion is important and discussed by
the Board of Directors (BOD). Every Parrot
Head has the right to offer suggestions or
constructive comments to make and keep
this Club fun and worthwhile.
You can talk to any BOD member in person
and discuss any Club matter. The BOD will
discuss every verbal and written suggestion. (In case you did not know, all members are also invited and welcome to attend the BOD Meetings normally held on
the first Monday of the month at 7p.m. at
Crabby Jack’s.) Contact a board member
at the beginning of the month if you are
interested in attending.
We invite every member to get involved
and participate in Club activities. We know
people are busy and cannot make every
event. But when you can, volunteer to help
plan, organize, or even run an event. You
will have a great time, it will make a difference, and you earn Parrot Points for the
next JB concert!!
It is far better to suggest or assist than to
stew and complain. Get involved...make a
difference!
