ith a
Purpose! FINLINES
This year our February meeting was at the American Legion.
Fifty-six (56) Parrot Heads signed in for the night’s
activities.
The Pot Luck was a huge success with plenty of Cajun de-lights
for everyone. We all enjoyed the wonderful food and a few tasty
beverages while we visited with our phriends.
Every year we crown a king and queen of our Fat Tuesday meeting.
This year our King was George McMillen and there
was a tie for Queen. Robbie Thames and Carla McMillen were
crowned the Queens. Their outfits were in true Mardi-Gras
Fashion.
Last year the King Cakes were MIA. It was great to see them back
this year. Since the baby is now con-sidered “dangerous” and
excluded from the cakes, we need to make sure someone brings one
next year.
The meeting conclud-
ed with the Parrot Heads surpris-ing David and Cathy with a Tiki
Bar. They were truly surprised. David told everyone they could look
forward to seeing it in action at the Boley Bash. Awesome!!!
Bon Mardi Gras Mes Amis!

,
Don Middlebrook at 5 o’Clock Somewhere BarI hope you were one of
the forty Parrot Heads who heard the Michigan Trop Rock-er, Don
Middlebrook, play at the 5 o’Clock Somewhere Bar on Janu-ary 24th
from 7:00pm to 10:00pm.
If you were there you know Don did not disap-point the
Parrot
Heads. He played a variety of his own
music, Jimmy songs, and various other trop rock tunes.
Jan Wollenschlager, Vicki Eberle, and Dianne Fleming got on the
stage and danced while they played var-ious percussion instruments
with Don. Their various mu-sical talents were very entertain-ing.
What a phun evening.

TULSA PA
RROT HEADS BOWL FOR KIDS SAKE
Bowl for Kid’s Sake is about having fun while also pos-itively
impacting the life of a child. What an awe-some fit for our slogan
“Party with a Purpose”.
We need your help in sup-porting Big Brothers and Big Sisters of
Tulsa by play-ing on a Tulsa Parrot Head Club (TPHC) team,
donat-ing to one of our teams, or by creating a team of your own
and joining us.
We currently have five teams participating on April 21st at
Andy B’s Bowling from 2:00pm - 4:00pm. We would really love to have
as many members as possible come
join us at the bowling alley. Regardless of whether you want to
bowl or not, we do need everyone to come help support the TPHC by
cheering on our teams.
What if I cannot bowl and I cannot come out and sup-port the
teams in person? Well that’s easy, donate to one or more of our
bowlers since they each have a min-imum goal to raise $100 for
BBBS.
Donating is easy. Go to:
http://do-nate.bbbsok.org/campaigns/5729-bowl-for-kids-sake-tulsa-2018
and click on “Donate”.
Happy Margarita Day!A groups of Parrot Heads gathered together
to celebrate the blessed Margarita Day and play some golf at the
Flying T on Thursday, Febru-ary 22nd. For those of you who were not
able to make it (and you know who you are), you missed a fun time
golfing. Some were better than others, but everyone had a blast.
Also, on the Rocks or Frozen the Margaritas were deeee-lish!!
Donate, Donate, Donate!!!
Tulsa Ice Oilers NightThe Parrot Heads will
be phlocking to the ice to cheer on the Tulsa Ice Oilers on
Wednesday, April 4th. Do you have your tickets yet?
Maybe hockey is not your thing. What about $1 beer night. Grab a
nice cold beer and visit with you phriends. If that’s not enough to
draw you in, $3 of each ticket we purchase will be donated to our
charity, Family and Chil-dren Services. Tickets are $13 per
person.
Now here is the complicated part. In order to get the $3
donation for our Charity, you
must reserve your seat using the link:

We look forward to seeing our phlock at the ice!

Attitude of GratitudeAn interview with our Treasurer Tammi
MartinSubmitted by Don Jones
Don recently sat down with the Trea-sure of the Tulsa Parrot
Head Club, Tammi Martin. I hope you enjoy the interview.How long
have you been a Parrot Head? How many years have you been an
officer of TPHC? - I have been a member of the Tulsa Parrot Head
Club since 1999. I am not exactly sure how long I have been an
officer, but I think I have been an offi-cer for over 15 years.What
other clubs or organizations are you active in? And/or serve in
leadership roles? It might sound a little bit lame, but my full
time job and the Tulsa Parrot Head Club are where I spend most of
my time.Where were you “born and raised?” What high school?
College? What is your “real” job? I was born and raised a T-town
girl. I went to high school at Tulsa Will Rogers High School. I am
going on my 2nd year in Accounts Receivable at Superior Linen
Service.Tell us a little bit about your family. Children?
Grandchildren? Names and ages? ? I have two grown kiddos, one
daughter-in-law, one granddaugh-ter, and five grand-dogs. My
daughter, Megan, who lives in BA is mom to Makina and three rescue
furb-abies. My son and daughter-in-law, Jaret and Kayla, live in
Owasso and are mom and dad to two furbabies. My granddaughter,
Makina, is a Senior at BA and is heading to Missouri State next
year on a volleyball scholarship. I am so proud of her.How many
Buffett concerts have you attended? Where and when was the first?
What was your
favorite concert? I have been to fourteen JB concerts. My first
concert was with TPHC crew at the old fairgrounds stadium when we
first started going to Dallas. My favorite was probably the
Memorial Day concert when Jimmy played with Alan Jackson and George
Strait.Besides “Parrot heading” do you have any hobbies? What do
you do to chillax? I am a Pintrest/HGTV junkie. I like to find old
things, refurbish them to make them new or just re-purpose them. I
love to cook and
hang out with friends and family whenever possible.What is your
favorite food? Favorite Beverage? Favorite Buffett song(s)? Mexican
food, pasta, and seafood, Vino, and One Particular Harbour..What
trait or traits in people do you like the most? What traits do you
like the least? I really like Friendly, upbeat. I dislike
Negativity....Drama.If there was no more Buffett or Trop Rock
music, what would be on your playlist? I really like Reg-gae,
Country, and Rock.What improvements or changes would you like to
see for the Tulsa Parrot Head Club over the next five (5) years? I
wish I had a magic potion I could use to find out how we can get
more of our members to become more active and participate in club
activities/functions. I would also like us to find more communi-ty
service activities that we can participate in to give back to our
local community.All good interviews must end with a goofy
ques-tion. Here is yours. If you were the new color in the Crayola
box, which color would it be and why? They would be Aqua and Tan,
the colors of the ocean and the beach which is my favorite place to
be.The next time you see Tammi, give her a big hug and a big thank
you for being on our board as our Treasurer. Phins Up!

are ALL incredible and make being a Parrot Head worth every minute
of time we spend with the club. - Cathy and David Boley
