Good Morning Phlock~

 

Just a friendly reminder of a couple of things before the big event:

 

1.  Please remember to bring an unwrapped toy, but still in the original manufacturer's packaging to HAMA.  We will also be accepting monetary contributions if you want to leave the shopping to us. 

 

Also, we have a reservation at Channel 11 on Monday, December 14 for the 6 o'clock news to give them our collection of Toys for Tots. We'd like to have as many of the PHlock, properly attired of course, at Channel 11 at 5:45. 

 

2.  We will be collecting empty printer cartridges, toner cartridges, and old cell phones at HAMA for a new animal shelter that is being built.  Bernice Botzet will have a box available for donations.  Remember, if you bring an old phone, please bring the charger if you have it.  

 

See you on the 5th!!

 

PHINS UP, Tracy

Zac Brown Band and Jimmy Buffett will tape "CMT Rendevous" next month and the episode will premier on CMT next March.  Here's the link for the details:

XEROX IS DOING SOMETHING COOL

If you go to this web site, http://www.LetsSayThanks.com you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services.

JAKE SHIMABUKURO TO PERFORM WITH BETTE MIDLER
IN THE PRESENCE OF HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN

Jake Shimabukuro, ukulele virtuoso from Hawaii, will perform his arrangement of the Beatles' tune "In My Life" with Bette Midler for The Royal Variety Performance 2009 in Blackpool, England.
 
The Performance is presented annually in aid of the Entertainment Artistes' Benevolent Fund (the EABF), whose patron is Her Majesty The Queen.  Acts lined up to appear include: Oscar winner Whoopi Goldberg, Canadian singer and Grammy Award winner Michael Buble, teen superstar Miley Cyrus, and many more.
 
Midler, a multi-award winning performer also from Hawaii, has followed her fellow islander's career and loves Jake's arrangement of "In My Life," a Beatles cover that appeared on Jake's 2008 release, My Life. 
 
"I was shocked to hear that Bette Midler knew my music.  I've been a huge fan of hers for many years," said Jake.  "She's like a queen of entertainment.  And to be performing with her for the Queen of England... it's a bit too much for me.  I'm just so honored."
 
The performance will be Jake's first time to England and second time to Europe after touring earlier this year in Stockholm, Sweden, Pori, Finland, Nice & Paris, France, and San Sebastian,Spain. 
 
Blackpool's legendary Opera House is the largest theatre in the UK outside of London with a seating capacity of 3000.  The star-studded spectacle will take place on Monday, December 7 and be screened on ITV1, in the UK, later that month.  It will be produced by ITV Studios, the makers of the 2007 Royal Variety Performance, which attracted an impressive 9 million viewers.  
 
The money raised from this event will help to maintain Brinsworth House in Twickenham, Middlesex - the entertainers' retirement and nursing home which is run by the EABF.

Island Inhabitants,

Here are a couple of Clarifications regarding the election of the club Board of Directors:

1.  According to the election guidelines, those who want to run must nominate themselves.  For those of you who want to nominate someone, you just need to nudge that person into nominating him/herself. 

2.  Administrative Staff Members as of 10/15 (a new administrative staff member is not eligible to vote for 60 days according to the club by-laws) will elect the Board per the election guidelines.  This is the most important requirement of the Administrative Staff. 

Again, if you have any questions or need further clarification, let me know. 

PHINS UP!

Island Inhabitants,

Per the club by-laws, six director positions are up for annual election.  The Island Bwana has a 3-yr term so y'all will have to put up with me for one more year.  The six positions are as follows:

Vice President (Island First Mate)
Treasurer (Island Purser)
Secretary (Island Jungle Drummer)
Social Director (Island Bartender)
Membership Director (Island Population Control)
Charity Director (Island Charity Bwana)

Nominations for these 6 positions are now open.  You can nominate yourself or any member in good standing of St MinneSomePlace for any of these positions.  Nominations must be in by December 15. There is only one other requirement.  Immediate Family members cannot hold concurrent director positions. 

Below is the procedure which we will follow for the election:

St MinneSomePlace in Paradise

Parrot Head Club, Inc.

 

Election Guidelines

10.01.09


In accordance with the established By-laws of St. MinneSomePlace,

the following election guidelines will be followed:

 

I.          PROCEDURE

A.        ANNOUNCEMENT

By December 1st, The St MinneSomePlace in Paradise Board of Directors (BOD) will call for volunteer nominees.  This call will be made to the entire club membership.  A nominee must be a member in good standing as recognized by the Directors.

B.        NOMINATION

All volunteers must announce their own nominations by December 15th via email to the BOD. 

C.        BALLOT

By December 30th, the Elections Officer will e-mail the ballot to the Administrative Staff.  This form will be standardized. It will list first the office and then the nominees in alphabetical order.

D.        VOTING

Ballots must be returned via email to the Elections Officer postmarked by January 15th.

E.         CAMPAIGNING

Campaigning rules are simple. A person running for office may actively campaign if they so desire. This may be done via personal email, US Postal mail and phone calls. No campaigning is allowed on any of the St MinneSomePlace forums (Yahoo Group, Email Boats, etc.). This includes campaigning by proxy. 


If you are interested in one of these offices and would like to see a complete job description or if you have any question about the election guidelines, email me and I will get back to you very quickly.

Remember, the Board of Directors is responsible for all of the day-to-day operations of the club and is responsibile  for the club finances as well.  It is essential that we have a good board to keep St MinneSomePlace the great club that it is today. 

Thank you and..........

PHINS UP!

Just 19 Days to the 16th Annual Holiday/15th Annual Membership Appreciation PHlocking (HAMA) and only 5 days to pre-register to make sure that you, too, get the much-cherished "stinkin' Button"!  Also, only 4 days to reserve your room so you can stay til the last person standing finally hits the sack.  Head to the HAMA page on the web site for all the details at: 

http://www.st-minnesomeplace.com/HAMA.html  

Santa Mon has told me that there will be some great PREZANTS --- a beautiful hand-painted solid oak bench by Dawn the Artist, not one but TWO Frozen Concoction makers, and a myriad of other goodies in appreciation of you, the PHlock that makes St MinneSomePlace the great Quaint Island that it is!

See you on Dec 5 at HAMA and..............

PHINS UP!

Island Inhabitants....

Just a friendly reminder of a few things:

1.  Pre-registration closes next Sunday, 11/22.  Be sure to get your registration in so you, too, will receive the much coveted "stinkin' Button" commemorating our 16th Anniversary and 15th Membership appreciation PHlocking.  This is one of the longest continuously running PHlockings in the entire ParrotHead nation!  Many clubs have come and gone in that time, but St MinneSomePlace continues to be a shining light in Parrot Heads in Paradise!! Bring friends that are inclined to embrace the Island Lifestyle.  It's a great PHlocking to introduce them to our club.

You can register online at:   http://www.st-minnesomeplace.com/HAMA.html  

Or you can mail a check for $15/member or $20/non-member to:

St MinneSomePlace
PO Box 390405
Edina, MN  55439-0405

2.  Reservations for the St MinneSomePlace Parrot Head block of rooms closes next Saturday, 11/21.  Be sure to talk to the LOCAL reservations desk when you make your reservation.  They are the ones that have the block information.

3.  We have a reservation at Channel 11 on Monday, December 14 for the 6 o'clock news to give them our collection of Toys for Tots.  We will be collecting unwrapped, but still in the original manufacturer's packaging, toys at HAMA.  Just think of the smiling faces that you make possible with your donation of toys. We will also be accepting monetary contributions if you want to leave the shopping to us.  We'd like to have as many of the PHlock, properly attired of course, at Channel 11 at 5:45, Monday, December 11.  More details to follow.

4.  We will be collecting empty printer cartridges, toner cartridges, and old cell phones at HAMA for a new animal shelter that is being built.  Bernice Botzet will have a box available for donations.  Remember, if you bring an old phone, please bring the charger if you have it.  We've done this last year at HAMA and this year at THR. 

5.  Finally, we do listen.  Jambo will start later and play later this year.  This was the number one thing that we heard that could be corrected from HAMA 2008!

PHINS UP and see you Down Island at the Ramada Northwest Inn in exactly 3 weeks!
