Hello and Happy Thursday!! Stay warm my phriends!!
Happy Thursday, Parrot Heads! Thanks to all who came out to the meeting last Saturday! We had a great turnout. We raised just over $600 for the Tennyson Center for Children. That money will help them with the Christmas party for the kids and will provide shampoo, soap, toothpaste and other necessities for the kids this year. Thank you all so much, and thanks to those who brought raffle items for us!

Food Drive: One of our favorite charities, the Community Table, is desperately low on food. So, please bring canned goods, spaghetti sauce, rice, pasta, peanut butter or canned proteins so we can deliver it to the food bank in Arvada to help them out this holiday season.
Everyone bring a raffle gift for our Christmas raffle. Plus, we are going to have a tropical ornament exchange as well. So, start looking for tropical Christmas tree ornaments if you want to participate in the tropical ornament exchange.

Misc. Events
Jeff Dunham is coming to the 1ST BANK Center (Broomfield Events Center) on April 4.
Several in our group are interested in going, so we checked into group tickets. They don’t really have a group ticket sales up there, and we were not able to get a large group of tickets, but we did manage to get a few. We have a very limited number, so we will sell them on a first come first serve basis. The cost is $75 each. Sorry we can’t accommodate everyone, but there are still tickets for sale, so if you’d like to go, and can’t fit into our limited number, please buy some tickets online. It will be a very fun night. “Jeffafa” is a SUPER funny!
Contact Robin if you’d like to buy tickets. (by replying to this email)
