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:

01 Feb 2009   Jimmy Buffett’s at the Beach comber Sneak Peak Opening (Jake

Minutes From Last Meeting

Great time on the high seas… Although this year, the group returned with ALL members they started with on their respective boats. It is rumored that club President Tom Bullard, hooked up with a mermaid, however these rumors could not be substantiated, due to lack of any physical evidence. Members frolicked and played in the water for hours… Great time!!
