St MinnesSomePlace PHLOCK!
Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of............ ok, so maybe not wealth and taste... for sure not wealth. And besides, what am I doing using a Rolling Stones song in a Jimmy Buffett group?
It's my pleasure to be your new HeadBwana. I'm looking forward to the challenges and more importantly to the PHUN that we have as Parrotheads. We've got some really cool things planned which you will be hearing about very shortly. Some things that we've never done before as a club, but I think you'll really like.
Also, I want to personally thank Terri Merrigan for doing a phenomenal job for the last few months as interim HeadBwana. Thanks to Terri and a great group of volunteers led by Mike Oswald, we had the most successful HAMA ever. I hope everyone who was there enjoyed themselves and lets everyone they know that weren't there what a great time it was and let them know that the 13th Annual THR will be a blast, too. Be on the lookout for your personal invitation to THR arriving in your snail-mail box and your email box within the next few days.
Finally, I'd like to introduce you to the Bwanas that officially take office today:
First Mate --- Terri Merrigan (firstmate@...)
Treasurer --- Tim Wulf (treasurer@...)
Bartender --- Jon Iannazzo (bartender@...)
Membership --- Mary Chamberlain (membership@...)
JungleDrummer --- Tracy Campbell (jungledrummer@...)
Manatee --- Marilyn Listvan (charity@...)
We want you to let us know if you have any suggestions for Phlockings, how to improve our phlockings, bands you'd like to have, how to reach more people and grow our numbers, etc. And we'd like to hear your concerns, too. When you do share a concern, try to think about how it could have been handled better and offer a solution as well.
PHINS UP!! PHLOCK til you DROP!
John Sherwin, Head Bwana

If we weren't all crazy, we'd all go insane...
