On Any Given Day- For those of us involved in local Parrot Head Clubs and PHIP, we have seen an outpouring of generosity over the last few years. This has ranged from donating time and money to members in need after natural disasters like the hurricanes of last year and helping support the troops in Iraq, to dealing with friends of the Parrot Head Nation who have had personal loss or injury. The two most recent examples being the accident that occurred to Randy Renner's daughter Arwen and the tragic death of Mark Mulligan's wife Adela, and the resulting serious injuries to Mark's sons. The San Diego Parrot Head Club with the help of Mark's best friend Gary Seiler, held a fundraiser for Mark last night that makes us very proud. Through the generosity of our club members and friends we were able to raise over $3100 in just three hours. We have one member; his girlfriend pays for his membership, who likes to say he is not a parrot head. However he does have a heart of gold was not afraid to put his money where his mouth is. He made a cash donation and challenged everyone to match it. His effort alone raised $700. What I find amazing, and what keeps me active even when things are a little rocky, is that on any given day Parrot Heads, Parrot Head Clubs, and PHIP are doing the same thing. Partying with a purpose, Raising money for those in need and helping the community. -Phinz up to the Parrot Head Nation!!
