WELCOME TO OUR CLUB

The Berks County Parrot Head Club was established on October 1, 2002. Over the years we have raised over $250,000 for various Berks County area charities. 

Our next major event will be our annual Summer Parrot Daze on July 17 at Fish Pond West in Bernville and will benefit Prospectus Berco.

Your participation in the club will help make our charities' goals become a reality and all of our future events a great success.

Buffett Lyrics of the Week(end)

So what is YOUR favorite lyric from a Jimmy Buffett song?  Send it to me and you may see it featured here on the website.

Christmas in the Caribbean Rescheduled

Due to a scheduling conflict with Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefers (who understandably get precedence), Nadirah Shakoor was unable to attend the scheduled Christmas in the Caribbean concert on December 4, 2010.  The concert's new date will be December 18, 2010.  Save the date!

BCPHC COOKBOOK - PART II

Our first cookbook was a rousing success, and now we're looking to top that.  Please share your favorite food and drink recipes to be included in our next cookbook.  All of those secret family recipes that you've been holding out?  Time to share! E-mail Tina Shenk with your favorites and get your name in lights!  (or at least published in the book!)

IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD...

Mitch Lenett has designed a great t-shirt for club members to wear to the Meeting of the Minds in Key West.  You can find the order form here.  The front of the shirt has a pocket-sized BCPHC logo, and the back features a specially designed MOTM 2010 logo. 

The shirts are available in adult sizes S through XXL and are available in either short sleeve or long sleeve.  All of the proceeds go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and as you can see, they look really great - you'll want one even if you're not making the trip to Key West this year. 

 For more information, please contact Mitch.
