You are all probably familiar with them. They are a non-profit, foster based dog rescue. They have greatly appreciated our help in the past, so let’s help them again this year!! Our second charity is a new one for us. It is called “Over the Edge,” run by our own CPHC member Dick Fulton, Executive Director of PVA CA chapter. This event raises funds for paralyzed veterans to enjoy adaptive sports, learn a new trade, travel, and earn educational scholarship. Paralyzed Veterans of America, a congressionally chartered veterans service organization founded in 1946, has developed a unique expertise on a wide variety of issues involving the special needs of their members – veterans of the armed forces, who have experienced spinal cord injury or dysfunction. PVA will use that expertise to be the leading advocate for: Quality health care for their members, Research and education addressing spinal cord injury and dysfunction, Benefits available as a result of their members’ military service, Civil rights and opportunities that maximize the independence of their members. To enable Paralyzed Veterans to continue to honor this commitment, they recruit and retain members who have the experience, energy, dedication, and passion necessary to manage the organization and ensure adequate resources to sustain the programs essential for Paralyzed Veterans of America to achieve its mission. ******************************************************************* Red Rocks shows: Still no ‘official word’ on Red Rocks shows.. so keep your fingers crossed! It has come to my attention that Red Rocks made the official Jimmy Buffett tour t-shirt, but keep in mind those shirts were printed a long time ago.. so just because we made the shirt doesn’t necessarily mean the show is a GO. I’ll let you know as soon as I hear something! I hope to hear soon! If you had tickets last year and did not request your money back, you will still have tickets to the show this year. I will keep everyone posted on any news about the concerts. Karen and Robin are working on plans for tailgating, in case this is a GO, so once we know for sure if the show is happening, we will share all the details on that. Keep your fingers crossed!! ******************************************************************* Summer Concert Series… The Landsharks are coming!! Gary Roland and the Landsharks band will be playing at the Arvada Smoking’ Tuna (Pete’s house) on the night between the Buffett shows at Red Rocks. Jimmy is playing at Red Rocks on Tuesday, September 7 and Thursday, September 9, 2021. The Landsharks will play on Wednesday, September 8, 2021! Tickets are going fast, so if you want to go, make sure to let us know SOON. Many Parrotheads from other clubs will be in town for the Buffett Red Rocks shows, so we have extended an invitation to members of other clubs to join the Colorado Parrotheads at Pete’s house for the “Concert in Between.” It’ll be a great time to meet fellow Parrotheads from all over! If you have ordered tickets, and haven’t already paid, please do so. We have to cover the cost of the band and are worried we may have no shows if we don’t have the money up front, so please send a check, made out to Pete Grosskreuz (he has covered the payment to the Landsharks) and send to PO Box 2290 Arvada, Colorado 80001 Tickets are selling fast, so if you want to go, please reply to this email and I will add you to the list.
