Pau Hana ParrotHeads 2009
Pau Hana Parrot Heads Club Year End Synopsis for 2009
Wow, 2009 could not have started off better for the Pau Hana Parrot Head Club out here on Oahu in Hawaii. Not only did Jimmy open up his new restaurant “Jimmy Buffett’s at the Beachcomber” but Margaritaville Entertainment (Tamara Baldanza) made sure to include our club in all the Sneak Peek Openings and Blessings including a private concert by Jimmy for about 400 people, we were able to get 75 of our members in! Obviously, the buzz with Jimmy’s concerts on Maui and here in Waikiki along with the opening of the Restaurant has boosted our membership.
We did lose our favorite Trop Rock entertainer Scotty Bryan due to him retiring from the Navy. He has now landed in Florida and pursuing a full time music career, he will be missed!

19 Sep 2009 The Pau Hana Parrotheads did their part to clean up the world’s oceans and
local beach’s in conjunction with the International Marine Debris Clean-Up
Day. Six hardworking Parrotheads spent the morning collection nearly
250lbs of assorted marine trash which had washed up along the
shoreside of Makapu’u’ beach. This effort resulted in 36 manhours of
community service. Many a lost flip flop’s and we found, along
with assorted fishing nets and and even a spare tire. Afterwards everyone
met up at the Ferstler’s home in Kailua for a fantastic feed, boat ride on the
canal and live music by John Cannizzaro.
