MEETING OF THE MINDS FOR 2016

Uncategorized

Hello Parrot Heads!!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Parrot Heads!! I have many things to tell you about THE 25th ANNUAL MEETING OF THE MINDS in KEY WEST, FLORIDA in 2016!! Wow!! Congratulations to all who have volunteered and sustained this event from the very beginning! This should be a great year of celebration and reunion!!  The title of this year’s event is “Here We Are.” Have a look at the video if you have a moment.
Well 2015 was one of the great Parrot Head parties but that was only the 24th Annual Meeting of the Minds! 2016 WILL be a great year in sunny Key West come November! I know November seems so long away BUT I want to give you several great reasons to go ahead and register early for MOTM. First!  Remember we close out our MOTM registration at 3,500 or by September 15th, whichever comes first. I also want you to book a room at the Casa Marina as we need to fill every room at the Casa Marina! I also do not want you to miss out if you want to stay at the Casa Marina! SO we are going to give you some awesome incentives for not putting off registration or your room reservations for 2016!  Here we go, read on.

Save bags to help with research!

Uncategorized

We recently received the following email request; let’s see if we can help Caitlin (one of our newer members) out with some supplies.

Hi Sue,

Can you send out an email asking PH’s to save paper grocery bags for me? Any bag will help. We’ll be using them to store some vegetation samples from our marsh field work. As funding is practically non existent for sea level rise studies (shocking! I know…) any donations of bags will be helpful for one less thing to spend our grant money on.

Thank you!

Caitlin Lauback

You can bring the bags you save to any Parrot Head event, or contact us at info@emeraldisleparrotheads-test.com if you have some bags for Caitlin.
