Happy Thirsty Thursday!
NO MEETING ON SATURDAY
🙁
*******************************************************************
Well, just like that… our meeting got canceled. The folks at Hopper’s were going to put us outside for the night, because the inside will be full for the Colorado Avalanche playoff game, but now that it is supposed to snow, they have no room for us, and asked that we cancel the meeting. So, no meeting this week. Sorry.
Our charity for the month is still going to be the Melanoma Research Foundation. We’ll still be sending them some money. If you’d like to donate to this cause, send the money to the club PayPal account at [email protected]. We will get the donations to the team – Becky’s Buddies – for the 2022 Miles for Melanoma Denver walk, which is in June.
Don’t forget… Get your skin checked!! *******************************************************************

You know the Colorado PHC has “made it” when we get to host a Sunny Jim house concert! This is an event you won’t want to miss! We are incredibly honored to have Sunny Jim play for us! For those of you not familiar with Sunny Jim, he IS Trop Rock. We are thrilled and very fortunate to have him come out for an evening. Hope to see everyone there!
A live performance by James “Sunny Jim” White calls up sea breezes, palm trees. sandy beaches and good tropical vibes. Audiences often end up dancing in conga lines and moving to the up-tempo rhythms of his original music, a blend of influences that range from the Caribbean to California, by way of Texas. White, was born in San Antonio, raised in California, and then spent 12 years in the Cayman Islands. In the Caribbean, he perfected his solo show featuring guitar, vocals and backup tracs. He added steel drum and soaked up the culture of the West Indies, infusing his songwriting with the influences of Caribbean masters. It was in Cayman that he picked up the nickname “Sunny Jim.”
Sunny Jim has published 11 CDs, 9 studio recordings and 2 live performances. They include; Postcards from Seven Mile Beach, Life in the Laidback Lane, Sandbar Serenade, Tropical Trader, Escape Artist, Sky Sand Water Moon, Tropicool, KISS, Flotsam and Jetsam, Rum Shoes and It’s Still Summer Somewhere.
Sunny Jim has won numerous awards for his original music and performances.
