After many years of hard work and dedication to make this club better every year, Patti Myles, your Vice President, who along with her husband, Rich, have been members of the Board of Directors since 2000, has resigned from the board for personal reasons. Having served with her for many years on the Board of Directors, I can say that we will all miss her as we have all depended on her and respected her opinion on many issues. We look forward to her being an active member of the club for many years to come, and I want to thank her for all she has done. With that, we had to fill the position in accordance with the bylaws. I asked for nominations for the position and with the Board’s vote, and I am happy to announce that your new Vice President is Dick Dobkins, who I know will work hard to make this a great club to be a part of. I hope you will all support Dick in his new position. With him moving up, this leaves his wife Laura to fulfill their Our Club Mission Statement: shared board position alone. The Sarasota Bay Parrot Head Club Inc. is a The Board is back at it and has begun to fill the club’s calendar with a lot of great events.

After another great trip to Key West for MOTM, we picked up where we left off in our own piece of paradise with a Happy Hour on November 11th on Bradenton Beach. About 35 hearty souls gathered on an unusually cold November night at the Island Bistro Bar. We were treated to a special Parrot Head menu and drink specials, in addition to some live music. We will definitely be back to this new spot, hopefully on a warmer night. On December 9th about 45 of us showed up at the new Bogey's on South Tamiami Trail in Sarasota. We took over the patio area, and partied the night away. Many of us were the victims of Irish Car Bombs (no, Murph wasn't blowing up cars in the parking lot), and they were tasty. Some members’ Moms who were in town were even rumored to be doing tequila shots! We then did a special, last minute pre-New Years Eve Happy Hour on December 30th at Turtle Beach Pub on Siesta Key. Once again, Selwyn Swe showed up! I think this is his secret island getaway; he must have a vacation place out back! The Dobkins family finished up their Christmas family and friends reunion week at the Happy Hour. We even brought in a special guest musician from Maryland, Mike Mangum, who along with Chris Sacks and friends had played for us at our Ocean Breeze party in Key West. It was a great way to finish up the year. On January 6th we were back on Anna Maria Island for a Happy Hour at Fins, a new Parrot Head themed bar. About 35 members gathered and listened to a swing band, who even did a special rendition of Margaritaville in our honor. We will be back in warmer weather and party on their deck, as this is definitely a Parrot Head friendly place. Look for our upcoming Happy Hours in February and March. We have a couple of surprises planned, including a floating Happy Hour in March with a very special musical guest from Key West. By: Dana Sochacki First Island Clean Up of 2012 Our first Island Clean Up for the year will be Saturday, February 11th. We will meet at Bay Island Park at 10:00 a.m. We will be serving donuts and orange juice before our Parrot Head Navy transports us to Edwards Island and surrounding islands to clean up debris. It is part of our oath as a Parrot Head to "clean the beaches!" The County supplies us with gloves and garbage bags but please dress for the cooler temps. The directions to Bay Island Park are: from 41, turn west onto Siesta Drive, cross the bridge and Bay Island Park is on the left. We will have a sign up sheet at our January Social Meeting or contact Claudia Benz at [email protected]. Hope to see you there! 5 At February’s Social Meeting we will be collecting items for the Humane Society of Sarasota County. Their wish list includes: dog and cat beds, dry and canned food for cats and dogs, cat litter and litter boxes, toys for both dogs and cats, Frontline, Heartguard, leashes, pooper scoopers, treats for cats and dogs, rubbing alcohol, animal crates, baby wipes, batteries (AA), blankets, bleach, Clorox wipes, cotton balls, digital thermometers, dishwashing liquid, latex gloves, and towels. Thanks for supporting our furry little friends. Everyone has a Story – A Parrot Head Profile Phyllis Sasso compares her life to a Reba McIntyre song, “I’m a Survivor”! She was born a twin, 3 months early, weighing only 3 lbs. Her twin sister didn’t make it, but she survived. Her mother passed away when she was 7 years old and her father passed when she was 13. She was raised by her very strict grandparents who didn’t believe in laughing and having fun. I think we all know she not only survived that, but likes to laugh and have more fun than most people we know! She was in an unhappy marriage, divorced and raised 4 children as a single mom. She survived putting 2 children through college while working a full-time job and a part-time job as a bartender. During that time, she also went to college. Never having had college courses in high school, she was fearful. Not only did she make it through, she graduated Magna Cum Laude! Phyllis retired from the Department of Mental Retardation in the State of Connecticut after 25 years. She first was a teacher, than a Case Manager/Social Worker. She moved to Sarasota in 2001 after visiting her brother. She feels the very best thing she ever did for herself was to join the SBPHC. The members are like a family to her and it has provided her with so many more opportunities to volunteer in the community. Phyllis is not only a survivor, but at times an over-achiever. She likes to keep active and believes in giving back. Her volunteer activities include working at a Food Pantry for people with HIV, she is a Civilian Volunteer for the Police Department, and is a Eucharistic Minister at St. Martha Church. She is also very involved with the American Cancer Society, and volunteers endlessly for the SBPHC functions. In her spare time she has a part-time job cleaning houses for friends – a job that she really loves. Gardening and landscaping in her yard are a few of her favorite things to do. She has built her own sidewalks and patio with scrap concrete blocks and even has had a lawn mower run over her knee, but of course she survived that one with no operations involved! Phyllis’s life may be like a Reba McIntyre song, but we all know her more as a Bobby McFerrin song – “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”, for she always has a smile on her face and a song in her heart.

The Sarasota Bay Parrot Head Club 16th Birthday Bash “The Tiki Bar is Open” is set for June 8-10th at Bentley’s Resort in Osprey! Your Not Bored of Directors is hard at work planning another FIN-tastic party that you are not going to want to miss. We’ve got a big headliner this year…HOWARD LIVINGSTON and MILE MARKER 24! We’ve got so many great things in store! Music, games, amazing auction items, you name it! It’s all going to be part of this big 16th Birthday Party! Keep your eyes and ears open for more details to come very soon. Howard Livingston and the Mile Marker 24 band are the real deal; an all original tropical island band capable of supporting both small and large events. The band has recorded five studio CDs filled with over fifty all originals that always please the crowd. The music of Mile Marker 24 offers universal appeal with an easy going lilt and sway that celebrates the human spirit while being underscored by steel drums, guitars, marimba and subtle strings. Mile Marker 24 has been on the fast track, growing in popularity from the most popular band in the Florida Keys to clearly a favorite nationwide. Livingston's self-released fifth album, Tunes in a Tropical Key, provides the latest example of this carefree caress. Like his four earlier efforts, Livin’ On Key West Time (2005), Meet Me In The Keys (2006), Blame It On The Margaritas (2007), and I'm Living on an Island (2008), much of the new album is based on Livingston's life - the life he loves in the Florida Keys. Songs that share his love for the Florida Keys (It's A Pretty Good Life), to the humorous (Get Your Own Cousin & Tropical Nightmare). This album joins Livingston's other albums as a soundtrack to a lifestyle - the lifestyle of flip flops and tank tops! Livingston and company have become known as a Portable Party Machine supporting corporate events, weddings, and tropical parties. With the 1952 Johnson outboard motor - turned margarita maker - that became well known when making margaritas with Al Roker (Today Show), Dave Price (CBS Early Show), Sam Champion (Good Morning America), and Samantha Brown (The Travel Channel), Livingston performs many events in the Florida Keys, fairs and tropical parties in the Southeast US, and tours the Midwest and Eastern USA. He has shared the stage with the likes of Mac McAnally, Little River Band, Cowboy Troy, America, Jerry Jeff Walker, Hank Williams, Tim McGraw, Big and Rich, and Keith Urban. Livingston has also been a headliner act at Meeting of the Minds (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010), Jimmy Buffett's annual international fan club convention. 7 Christmas in the Caribbean 2011 On Sunday, December 4, 2011 Sarasota Bay Parrot Head Club held our annual Christmas Party and Toys for Tots drive at Sun-N-Fun. We Parrot Heads know how to Party with a Purpose and our generous members donated hundreds of toys and bikes for needy children in the area! Michael Roselle accepted the toys on behalf of the Marines and Toys for Tots, and then we formed a conga line to carry the toys out to waiting trucks. We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas meal, cash bar, lots of laughs with old friends and even made some new friends while we danced to great music of Captain Josh and Banjody. Four SBPHC members received Recognition Awards for their dedication and service to the club and our charities. Congratulations to A.J. Collins, Marla Hanratty, Albert Hinojosa, and Dennis Schnack. Many thanks to all of you for giving your time and effort all year to make this a great club!
