Happy Thirsty Thursday! (Friday Eve!)

Fall is in full swing now.. what a beautiful time of year!  I hope everyone is enjoying the Beautiful Colorado autumn!  

*******************************************************************
Next Club Meeting – 
Saturday, October 16, 6pm – Hopper’s Sports Bar – Wheat Ridge

As always, please help us out by bringing an item or 2 for our raffle. This month’s raffle will be for the Feline Rescue of the Rockies.  Let’s make this a good night for the homeless kitties!  

*******************************************************************

We have had little to no interest in the Denver Halloween parade, so we will not be participating this year.  Sorry.  

*******************************************************************
The November charity will be Wreaths Across America, to provide wreaths for the graves at Ft Logan National Cemetery.  

*******************************************************************
The December charity will be a little different this year. In the past, the Colorado Parrothead Club has been an instrumental part of providing daily necessities like toiletries, blankets, hats and gloves to the kids in need at the Tennyson Center for Children.  The Tennyson Center has had to permanently close the residential center.  So, this year, we will be collecting toys for their North Pole event.  We will be collecting new toys, unwrapped, for ages 1 – 16, for both girls and boys.  We’ll collect these at the November and December meetings.  We’d like to get the majority of them at the November meeting so we can get them over to the Tennyson Center in plenty of time for their North Pole Party.

Misc. Housekeeping: Now is a great time to update your mailing address, email addresses and phone numbers with the club, if you have moved within the past few years, please send me your current information, so I can update the roster.  The CDs that came out with the Red Rocks Concert tickets showed we have a lot of old and incorrect information.

Club T-shirts!!

We got in a new shipment of Club T-shirts, and folks from the other Parrothead Clubs went on a “feeding frenzy” buying them!  We don’t have many left, but if anyone wants a club t-shirt, please let me know, cost $35 each.  
In case you’ve forgotten what they look like:




We sold out of our “Parrotheads on the Rocks” Shirts for the  Buffett shows.  They were a big hit!  

$5 from each shirt sale (both club shirts and Red Rocks shirts) went to “Vested Interest in K-9s, Inc.”This is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide bullet and stab-protective vests and other assistance to dogs of law enforcement and related agencies around the country.

Our t-shirt money from Red Rocks week, raised enough to buy a vest for the new K-9, named Hulk, at the Arvada Police Department.  Each vest costs $1000. The management and K-9 officers at the Arvada PD are very appreciative of the Colorado Parrothead Club.
