Hi Pholks


  Our last meeting was entertaining with good conversation and a variety of foods. Mike Powell has kindly organized our new banner, the preview looks great !  We also discussed our next community event which will be preparing a meal for Ronald McDonald House on March 30 . I think we are going to cook burgers and salad with soft drinks on the side and dessert to be decided.
   The third Wednesday of the month seems to work for us so our next meeting will be on February 20. We will gather at Braxton's in St. Thomas at 7 pm and check out their Wednesday specials. Hope to see you there .

            Cheers,

  Hi Pholks

 

  Welcome to the New Year ! Our first meeting of the year will be on Wednesday January 16 at Bernie's Bar & Grill 1290 Byron Baseline at 7pm. We are moving our meeting day to try to make them more accessible for our members. I'll need information from members and signatures if possible , for the club's annual report. If you can make it to the meeting that would be fantastic.

 

  Cheers,

  Hi Pholks

 It's that time of year again already . The annual decorating of the London Foodbanks Christmas float. The parade has moved up 1 week this year so our float decoartion Saturday is on November 10th. I know, I had the 17th written down also,  I'll take any blame for problems. Hopefully Frakenstorm will be done by then and London will still be standing :). We also have a regular Foodbank volunteer day on Saturday December 15 .

   Thanks to the Folks who braved the chill weather to do our highway cleanup. We did a great job getting a dozen or so bags of trash off of our section of Highway .

 Our meeting this month will be in London , Gregg has offered to arrange our dinner at Smoke and Bones on Wellington . Should be good food and a fun atmosphere. The meeting will happen on Thursday November 8th at 7pm. Looking forward to seeing you all there.

                               Cheers

Hi Pholks

 After a great summer we capped it off with a fantastic house party at Gary & lori's. Fine food and great prizes with a few well mixed drinks set the tone for us to raise $ 500 to help support Animal aide and other local people who care for strays and unwanted pets. Cudos to all of you .

  Our next meeting is at Braxtons in St Thomas located at 1093 Talbot . We'll be discussing Fall events including our last highway cleanup on October 13th. We'll meet for the cleanup at the Denny's parking lot at the Highbury & 401 overpass at 9:45am , weather permitting. We 'll be cleaning the south east side from 10am to around 12pm. A trip to Majors for a cold Corona may be in order after our hard work.

 Looking forward to seeing a good turnout , see you there.

Summer Events

Hi Pholks

   Thanks to all the Parrotheads who helped serve a meal at Ronald McDonald House on Saturday July 7.Special mention to Bill for providing lots of soft drinks and a big shout out to Mike and Mare for an awesome job of arranging for the food . The crowd was not as large as we hoped but our service was greatly appreciated by the staff and families of McDonald House.Photos were taken so expect to see some soon.
   There will not be an official club meeting until September but there will be some Phun events that we can certainly be part of  1 ) Tropical Bash at The Wharf  in Port Stanley on July 28th  featuring the food ,music, water  and feeling of the islands we all love. 2) Tropical music and tasty wines at Quai du Vin winery featuring both Spirit of the Keys and Margaritaville on August 12 . This should be a great show . Hope to see you at some of these events on the way . I'll get word out soon if I'm able to have a summer BBQ in August .

          Cheers
