We have a New Monthly Club Meeting Location and Date!!! We will no longer be meeting at Las Brisas! Table Steaks East is the new home of the Colorado Parrot Head Club. We are also moving from the 2nd Saturday of the month to the 3rd Saturday of every month!! Please make note of the location and the date!!!! We are moving the monthly club meetings to Table Steaks East on the 3rd Saturday of every month. As you know Las Brisas was a problem with space. We have outgrown the patio at Las Brisas. So we’ve negotiated space and prices at Table Steaks East. See the deals below. At the next monthly club meeting (5/15) all paid club members will get reusable rubber wristbands. These wrist bands will identify us to the bar staff for our discounts. We’re also going to use these wristbands on parade day so please don’t lose them! Table Steaks East has a large area inside for us with a nice stage for our band! I’m sure it will work very well for us. During the summer we can hold our meetings on their patio, weather permitting. The patio also has plenty of room for us and the band. Table Steaks East is located right off I-225 and Parker Road. It’s very easy to get to. If you feel like spending the night there is a hotel just across I-225 (Red Lion). The hotel will shuttle people to and from the bar. Table Steaks East is one block west of the Nine Mile light rail station. Location is always an issue but we’re just not going to be able to make everyone happy. We have members all over the metro area. This location will probably be great for some and not so great for others. Please keep in mind it’s only once a month! I know you’re going to like Table Steaks East and they will treat us right!! Parrot Head Specials: Domestic Draft Beer - $5.00 pitchers Mexican Bottle Beer - $3.00 Bacardi Rum Drinks - $3.00 Dinner Specials (example, Burger with fries $4.99) Regular menu available at great prices, check it out at http://www.tablesteakseast.org/4285.html Table

Jim Morris House Concert?? Popular Parrot Head performer Jim Morris might come to the Denver area this summer! He’s interested in doing a House Concert in the mid-late July or possibly early August timeframe. Would you be interested in hosting this house party? If so please let me know, trule@comcast.net. House Concerts are usually in a relaxed atmosphere with a focused crowd. The performer can tell stories and do songs that they might not be able to do in a bar setting. If you Google ‘house concerts” you will find many sites with instructions and helpful hints. The concert is held in the backyard. A space is set aside for a performing area. The audience typically sits in lawn chairs. People bring dishes to share, and they bring their own beverages. The host “passes the hat” or collects money from the audience (sometimes they put out a big bucket into which the audience places a donation). Usually when the invitation is extended, a donation guideline is given (often in the $15- $20 range), but people are free to give as much or a little as they want. Performers usually play for 2 hours. Afterward the show they sell CDs and other merchandise and sign autographs, take photos, etc. Colorado Parrot Head Gear Website!! Our club store is now open for business! http://coloparrotheadgear.gigabitprint.com Las Vegas Buffett Concert Pre-Party Information!

Club Member Becky Clark is available for Personal Coaching!! Here’s a message from Becky… Hello fellow Colorado ParrotHeads. As many of you know I have been building a personal coaching practice over the past 12 months. It has been an amazing and rewarding experience, and I have been humbled by the support of so many of you. I have set a goal for myself to coach at least 100 people by May of 2010. This goal is going very well, but I need to keep the momentum up. To coach 100 people in 5 months I am offering a complementary no obligation 30 minute coaching session. Several of you have already taken me up on this offer; the experience and your feedback have been invaluable. I work with people who are held back by uncertainty and fear and really want to transition to a new chapter in their life. What makes my services unique and creates successful outcomes is my personal wisdom, perspective, humor and my ability to unlock the greatness from within others. Because of this, my clients gain the necessary confidence to be audacious in their ideas of what they want their life to look like. Acting as an accountability partner I help my clients take continuous action towards achieving their goals. If you would like to learn more about your own personal evolvement let’s set up a half hour complementary session to discuss what is holding you back. You can reach me at 303-284-1341 or bkirwinCO@comcast.net. Also please feel free to pass my information along to anyone whom you think may benefit from my services. Here
are some specific life circumstances where a coach could make a
difference:
