January 20 Phlocking at Dixie Grill

The Pau Hana Parrot Heads gathered at one of our favorite watering holes, the “Dixie Grill” in Pearlridge for a Pau Hana Friday event. Twelve members were able to make the flocking and enjoyed some great food and drinks. We even picked up several new members throughout the evening. Thanks again to Patrick and the gang at “Dixie Grill” for letting us play our Buffett and Trop Rock favorites on the PA system, also for their hospitality and great service.

Feb 25^th Sunny Jim and Latitude Show at Waikiki Yacht Club

This past Saturday Feb 25 th the Pau Hana Parrot Heads were treated to a fantastic afternoon of live Trop Rock music with James”Sunny Jim”White and Tom and Michelle Becker of “Latitude”. The event was a meeting of several Florida clubs visiting after their “2012 Aloha Cruise” and our local Parrot Head gang at the Waikiki Yacht Club. “Sunny Jim” opened the afternoon with some of his classics as well as tunes off his newest CD. Local artist John Canizzarro followed with a short set of Island Classic’s and a few original’s as well. Next Tom and Michelle took the stage and soon had everyone doing the “Conga Line”…and even did a John Denver request. To finish the evening off Jim, Tom and Michelle performed one final set of 60′s and classic rock that had everyone out on the dance floor!!!

As always with Parrot Heads, it was a “Party with a Purpose”. The 50/50 auction raised $450 for the McKinley High School “Close-Up” program, which takes disadvantaged local student’s on the trip of a lifetime to Washington D.C. and the U.S. Capital each year. A secondary fundraiser for the event was an effort to raise some cash for Pau Hana Trop Rock favorite…Scotty Bryan who recently had his beloved ”Taylor” Guitar stolen after doing a show in Cape Coral FL. After a ticket for the upcoming “Buffett” show was auctioned plus a few donations, nearly $400 was collected to help out Scotty.

A big Mahalo to “Sunny Jim” and Tom and Michelle Becker for providing some really incredible entertainment for our event. We really appreciate having the opportunity to experience some great Southwest Florida sytle Trop Rock that is rarely seen or heard out here in the Islands. Would also like to thank John for coming out sharing some local tunes with us as well. As usual our Yacht Club sponsor Clay Deaver really went all out by setting our club up with one of the best waterfront venues in Waikiki.

March 18^th Five O’Clock on the Beach Preconcert Event and USO Fundraiser

We would like to say Mahalo to all those folks who were able to attend our “5 O’Clock on the Beach” Tailgate Event, especially those who helped with preparation, ticket sales and teardown at the end of the day. Sounds like everyone had a good time, enjoyed some great entertainment then finished out the day with a great performance with Jimmy over at the Shell.

The total attendance may have been down a little this year, but still a nice turnout with nearly 160 folks through the door…probably helped keep the drink lines shorter!!! As usual our group “Partied with a Purpose”, raising $600 for USO Hawaii.

Our next potential outing will be the “Run like a Diva” Wahine Half Marathon on Sunday April 1st. We have been asked again this year to run a water station at the event. The turnout for this outing last year was fantastic and much appreciated by the race coordinators. In return for our efforts we’ll accumulate much need man hours and a donation will be made to a charity of our choice by the event.

April 1^st “Run like a Dive Water Station” and Fundraiser

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”!!!

A total of 75 man-hours were logged, and a donation of $200 from the “Run Like a Diva” event which will go directly to the “Leeward Women’s Shelter”. Again thanks to all club members who showed up and helped make this event possible!!! Also Mahalo to Karen Bullard who coordinated with the race committee and to Clay Deaver for use of the great sound system. We look forward to seeing everyone at our next outing in late May.

May 12^th Trop Rock n Roll Spring Party Cruise

Mahalo to the folks who showed up Saturday night for our Trop Rock n Roll” Cruz off Waikiki. The winds finally died down and our crew pushed off at 5:30 pm and enjoyed a beautiful evening on the “E Sea Rider” cruising off the shores of Waikiki. Some really fantastic views with Diamond Head forward and a gorgeous Ewa sunset aft accompanied by the great Trop Rock tunes of Jimmy Buffett, Jim Morris, Scotty Bryan and many many more and plenty of “Boat Drinks”. A really fantastic evening was enjoyed by all.

A special thanks to “Captain Tiger” for manning the helm and delivering a safe and entertaining trip for all and also to Jordon for her great service and pouring some pretty strong drink’s!!!!

Please remember to put August 25 th on your calendar of events this summer. We’re in the works right now to hold our annual “Late Summer Bash” again this year at “Jimmy Buffett’s at the Beachcomber” but actually use the indoor venue and stage this year. It will be a fundraiser for USO Hawaii and JB’s is planning to designate it ” Hawaii Parrot Head Day”.

Pau Hana Parrothead Club Board Meeting

June 8, 2012

Attendees:  Lee Walters (President), Deane Lediholt (Vice President), Nelson Lampert (Treasurer), Mark Jones (Secretary), Clay Deaver (Board Member)

Location:  Dixie Grill Aiea

Meeting called to order 4:50pm.

Treasurer’s Report:  Club has estimated funds of $3000, which includes $200 still owed from Elks Event deposit and $144 in Paypal account.

Old Business:

The proposed Summer Bash was reviewed by Lee.  The current plans are to hold the event at Buffets Waikiki on August 25 from 3-7 PM.  Preliminary approval to hold the event has been received from the establishment but final approval from Buffets corporate hasn’t been granted.

The event will be similar to previous Summer Bash’s and will consist of live music, a silent auction, and various raffles to raise money.  All money raised from the silent auction and raffles will be donated to the USO.  The venue will be open to the public so there will be an opportunity to increase membership by showcasing what the Pau Hana Parrothead Club does to those that are unfamiliar with its charity work.

Entertainment would be provided by John Friday.  The club would cover $1000 of expenses for travel and lodging for John to travel to Oahu and play at the event.

Nelson presented a motion that the club pay for a tax attorney or CPA to evaluate if the club paying for entertainment at a charity fund raiser would be considered inurement.  Lee presented an inquiry he had made through the internet to an attorney specializing in nonprofit issues in which the reply was that the club wouldn’t be considered libel for inurement for pay for entertainment at a charity event.

The Board conducted an extended discussion of Nelsons motion and if paying for entertainment at a charity event would involve inurement.  Before a vote could be taken Nelson withdrew his motion from consideration.

Lee made a motion that the Board approve the concept of the Summer Bash and approve paying John Friday $1000 for travel expenses to play at the event.  Deane seconded the motion.  Lee asked for a vote and the motion passed 4-1, with Nelson being the dissenting vote.

New Business

The monthly Club phlockings were discussed and it was proposed there be gatherings on 6-23 at Ko Olina Yacht club and 7-21 at either Lee’s home or ChaCha’s in Hawaii Kai.

Extended discussion about how the Club conducted business.  Nelson presented a concept that was very different from how the club had operated in the past and all of the other board members defended current practices.  The discussion ended when Nelson offered his verbal resignation from the Club.  An email restating his resignation was received on 6/8/12 around 7:30PM local time

Mark Jones will take over duties of Treasurer for remainder of term and club will put out request for new secretary.

Submitted

Mark Jones

Secretary, Pau Hana Parrot Head Club

Attachment: Resignation Email from Nelson Lampert

Mahalo to the folks who showed up Saturday night for our “Trop Rock n Roll” Cruz off Waikiki.

PAU HANA PARROTHEAD CLUB

 MEETING MINUTES

March 25, 2012

Place:  Lee Walter’s residence, Makakilo, Hawaii.

Present:   Lee Walters, Nelson Lampert, Dave Isaacson, Mark Jones, Kerstin Lampert, Janet Isaacson

1.  Call to Order:  3: p.m. by President Lee Walters

2. Treasurer’s Report (Nelson Lampert):

       Current balance is $2100. cash on hand at CPB.  Club net profit of “5 O’ Clock on the Beach” is $760 after all expenses and new stock of T-shirts paid.   Approved

3.  Old Business

            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.

8.  Adjournment:

       Meeting adjourned at 4:00 p.m

NEXT MEETING TBA

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”!!!
