            Still awaiting $200 refund from Elks Club and notification on if PHPHC is expected to pay for 4^th Keg of Beer which was not tapped.  Lee will contact Jay Sweet PHPHC sponsor to resolve issue with Elks Club.

            Discussion on how well the 5 O’ Clock on the Beach event progressed, any problems or recommendations for a future event at the Elks.  General group consensus was that the Elks staff were very helpful, provided great service and made adjustments to some of the menu prices to fit our needs.  Would get confirmation next time on if Elks will have a cash bar that serves additional drinks which partygoers may purchase, or if all drink transactions need to by ticket only.  Some folks heard complaints about choice of beer, Elks never responded on club inquirer to bring in Landshark Beer. A suggestion was made by Nelson that club needs to see if  vendors/entertainment sponsored or reimbursed in any way by the PHPHC has their own liability policy.  Lee made recommendation that club needs to have more announcements about PHPHC and membership in future events.

4.  New Business:

Activities/Events:  Discussion held on upcoming “Run Like a Dive” Half Marathon Water Station event on April 1^st.  So far 14 volunteers have pledged to help out for the event, so it was the general consensus that PHPHC go ahead with the event.  Karen Bullard will be the PHPHC contact and work with the “Diva” committee.  Lee will put out more information via email after Karen attends the meeting on March 30^th.

                                    Club briefly discussed August “Late Summer Membership Bash” and need to talk to new assistant GM at Jimmy Buffett’s about holding event at their “Porch of Indecision” again this year.  Also need to see if they will pre-approve entertainers whom the PHPHC would like to have play at the event or maybe at the establishment throughout the year.

The Pau Hana Parrot Heads again supported the annual “Run Like a Diva” Wahine Half Marathon and 5k run this past Sunday morning, by setting up and manning the primary water station for the event.  We would like to thank each of the 15 club members who showed up at Magic Island bright and early to make preparations for the 6:00 am start time.  Our gang kept the refreshments flowing to the thousands of runners who passed through the station four times throughout the morning.  The club also provided plenty of encouragement to the racers and blasted out the live tunes throughout the entire morning.   Everyone had a great time providing a much needed service for this great event.  Probably one of the greatest locations of any Parrot Head charity event in the entire country, like they say “Lucky to Live Hawaii”!!!

Aloha,

Great time for all those who came out this past Saturday night for Rob Mehl’s House Concert at the Waikiki Yacht Club. Rob put on a fantastic show for our small group, it was a really magical night. He incorporates many of the sights and sounds of old Waikiki into his Trop Rock song lyrics and stories. Most likely one of the best performances to ever hit the Yacht Club. Hoping to catch his act again sometime in the future when he comes back to the Islands to produce his upcoming CD.
A big Mahalo also to club member and sponsor Lyle Holden for reserving the venue for our group, and our VP Deane Leidholt for use of his sound equipment. Check out our website and facebook page Pau Hana ParrotHeads for more pictures.
Please join us in October at Jimmy Buffett’s for the “Mac Attack”, San Diego entertainer Mac MacDonald will be putting on a show for our group. It’s always a wild time with Mac…please check out his website at http://www.macmacdonald.com/fr_homepage.cf

Pau Hana Parrot Heads

Phinz Up to all those who were able to attend our annual “Late Summer Memership Bash” at Jimmy Buffett’s this past Saturday Aug 20th. We kicked off the event at 3:00pm with Domonique and Bronson, the guys from Borderline who put on a fantastic set. The duo covered many Island favorites as well as some Buffett, Zac Brown and Kenny Cheney hits. Bronson ripped it up with his Ukulele, probably one of the best solo’s ever performed on the “Porch of Indecision”.
At around 4:45pm Trop Rock entertainer Scotty Bryan took the stage and did not disappoint. He covered many Buffett tunes old and new along with other Trop Rock favorites and some originals, putting on another unforgettable performance that lasted until Buffett’s shut the place down at around 9:00pm.

MC Jeff Eck, kept the show moving smoothly during the breaks with plenty of great door and raffle prizes. So many way’s to win and so little time!!!
Club Vice Pres. Deane Leidholt kicked off the final round of bidding on the auction at 8:00pm. Some of the most desired item’s were a LandShark Bar Light, several decorative full size Pacifico and Corona Surfeboards, a framed Wyland Print and a limited edition Kona Longboard sign.

We would like to give special thanks to David Erp, Randy Calinski and Jason the sound guy from Jimmy Buffett’s for allowing us to hold this great event on the “Porch of Indecision” also to Margaritaville store manager Colleen Benevedes for all the great donations used as door prizes. Many thanks to the entire list of Restaurants, Bars and Businesses Island wide who generously contributed over $1300 in gift certificates and the many auction items. Finally, a big Mahalo to our entertainer’s and the entire group of Pau Hana Parrot Head Officers and Board Members who put in many hours of hard work and helped make this event possible.

Management at Jimmy Buffett’s stated that they’ve heard lot’s of great feedback about our event and would love to have us back again next year. The final tally raised from the raffle and auction for USO Hawaii was $2450.00. A pretty good showing for our small Phlock!!!
