Pau Hana Parrotheads | Oahu, Hawaii

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!

   A brief synopsis of our clubs events this year include:
