Check out our latest PHlockings
August 8th, 2024 at The Porch-Winter Park
What a PHantastic PHlocking!
PHifty PHlockers joined in on the PHun last night at The Porch-Winter Park! We were excited to have PHive VIRGINS with us, and we are ecstatic to report that Parrot Heads of Central Florida now has TWO HUNDRED and ONE PHlockers on our roster! We are PHCF Strong!
We ‘Party with a Purpose!’
And our ‘purposes’ were many!
We collected about $150 in pet supplies and will be sending a check for $141 to Happy Trails Animal Rescue of Orlando. 
Thanks to our Basket Master, Ray Wortley, we collected $120 in raffle ticket sales. This will be split between our two PHCF teams for We Walk to End Alzheimer’s & Dementia and Together in Teal Ovarian Cancer Coalition Walk.
We, also, sold $125 in raffle tickets for the Old Key West 4 Day/3 Night Vacation at Disney Resorts, and this will be added to our Purple PHlockers and Stalkers Team for We Walk to End Alzheimer’s & Dementia Team Goal. 
We had a PHantastic response to our ongoing collection of Hawaiian shirts. We collected 18 shirts that will be shipped to the Hawaiian Shirts for Deployed Soldiers Foundation. We will be collecting shirts at ALL PHCF PHunctions through our November PHlocking. (Request for the next collection, please. The Keeper’s fingers are not so nimble anymore. Please take a minute and button the shirts, if you don’t mind. Oh, having folded all of these shirts, another reminder, please. Check for missing buttons. If the Keeper can’t button, she, sure as heck, can’t thread a needle. Thanks.)
Congratulations to our PHlocker Winners for the evening.
Renee Dobson won the PHifty/50 and took home $55.00. Carol Carlisle and Connie Caines won the two $25.00 The Porch Winter Park gift cards for RSVPing. 
Lots of PHriends won the PHantastic Baskets by Ray, too.
T. Scott Walker and our PHavorite Guest PerPHormers rocked The Porch!!!

Thanks to those that put money in the ‘Help Us PHund Our Independent Musicians’ JAR. We were able to pay 3/4’s of the band PHee from your donations, leaving club PHunds for other purposes.
The evening with the PHlashbacks were made even greater when Gregg “DOC” Stewart and Pat Clawson joined T. Scott throughout the evening.
As previously stated, PHCF now has 201 PHlockers on the roster. Woot! Woot! We welcome Christian Paul, Crystal Garcia, and Grant Patterson to our PHlock. Thank you to T. Scott Walker for encouraging this trio of YouthPHul PHlockers to join our PHamily!
Along with this trio, we, also INITIATED Karen and Tyler Carraway. They joined at the end of a PHlocking this Spring, but had not been able to return until our August PHlocking. They are, already, PHaithPHul PHlockers as they have earned Parrot Points for working a Beach Clean Up in the early summer. PLUS, they were on top of the Who the PHlock are YOU? Scavenger Hunt at the PHlocking and made a lot of new PHriends…and earned their PHlocking Specs!!
PHotos and videos from the Sacrifice of the VIRGINS!!! And the CONGA LINE!

PHenomenal PHlocking! Lots of PHotos of PHriends having PHun!!!

With the help of ‘Baskets by Ray’ and the PHifty/50 Raffle, we collected $350 to donate to St. Baldrick’s Foundation for Cancer Cure for Children. We thank Casie Shimansky & Sean Moody for introducing us to this amazing organization. We are extra proud to have had representation at Capt Hiram’s last Saturday when Sean and Casie participated in the headshaving event for St. Baldrick’s Foundation. 
Thank you to Ray Wortley for another PHenomenal display of themed baskets. Basket Raffle Sales brought in $225!!
Our PHifty/50 winner was Jean Bush. She split $250 with the PHund for St. Baldrick’s Foundation.
RSVP winners for TWO gift cards from The Porch-WP were George Stickney & Laura Waters.
Keeping with that ‘we party with a purpose’ concept, the PHlock donated over $150 in supplies and $165 in cash for Ronald McDonald House.
We are so grateful to Don Middlebrook for an amazing perPHormance! PHlockers were dancing and singing, and as shown in the video, taking over The Porch-Winter Park with our Conga Line. My PHavorite part of our PHlockings is hearing our PHlockers rave about our Live Music, as well as the rest of the guests enjoying an evening at The Porch-Winter Park. Even better is when the perPHormers share what a good time they had, and, especially, when, like Don asked, “WHEN CAN I COME BACK?” Hopefully, we’ll see Don in the PHall!
The Welcome Table was hopping with PHlockers stopping by to PHlash their hangie-thingies and added our new PHlashie-Blinky Pins to their hangie-thingies. Thank you to Co-Vice Presidents Louanne & Mike Sincavage for all of your help, as always. We passed out quite a PHew club applications and inPHo PHlyers, too. We added $35 to our club PHunds from sales of our new club logo pins and $215 to the club PHunds for the PHlashy Blinky pins. We almost paid for our whole order of pins with these sales and will be seeing our Team PHunds growing quickly for our We Walk to End Alzheimer’s & Dementia Team. We, also, added $40 to our club PHunds with t-shirt transfer sales. 
We, also, held our PHirst Parrot Points ceremony in many years! 24 Parrot Points were awarded to PHlockers that volunteered for our Adopt-a-Shore in January and 6 Parrot Points were awarded to our ‘Sowing’ SEA OATS in PHebruary.
We had a lot of PHun, but, as always, we missed our PHlockers that weren’t present. We know that Jeanette, Mike, Jackie, and Lisa Marie had a PHabulous time on the Atlanta Parrothead Cruise…we saw pictures! We have, also, enjoyed the Travel Journal being shared by Tom & Janis Williams on their wonderPHul African adventures. The rest of you…if you weren’t traveling, you missed a great PHlocking!
Our April PHlocking is being themed…’It’s all about PHCF!’ We’ll be celebrating our THIRTY-SECOND BIRTHDAY with the wonderPHul TropRock Artist, Jeff Randall! We are hoping ALL of our PHlockers will wear a PHCF club t-shirt for our PHlock PHoto. We’ll be partying with a purpose benefitting Singing for Change and our club! Our Lucky Stars and PHifty/50 will be benefitting our club. We are asking our PHlockers to bring a nice bottle of wine and/or a quality bottle of liquor of any kind. These items will be used in PHuture Basket Raffles. More inPHo to PHollow!
And now, enjoy our memories from our March PHlocking!

We had some WINNERS for the evening, too!
Kevin Conlon won our PHifty/50, taking home $60 and the other half went into the club PHunds.

As always, we wish to thank the staff of The Porch-Winter Park for their hospitality! Our ‘one particular harbor’ continues to be rockin’ on those Second Thursdays.
Looking forward to seeing the PHlock on March 14th as we welcome Don Middlebrook and we honor our PHlockers Sean Moody & Casie Shimansky for their ongoing dedication to our PHocus on Making a Difference: the St. Baldrick’s Foundation with our PHifty/50 and Baskets by Ray.
