Proposed New By-laws Available

I've finally gotten the time to put the proposed new by-laws online. There are four files:

LOCS By-Laws Changes Summary - 2010-08-31.pdf
An overview list of the changes made. Not a list of all changes, but a line-by-line review of what has changed.
LOCS By-Laws - Markup - 2010-08-31.pdf
The proposed bylaws, shown as changes to the original bylaws. Produced from Microsoft Word with "Track Changes" turned on.
LOCS By-Laws - Final - 2010-08-31.pdf
The proposed bylaws as a clean copy, not showing the changes (easier to read for proofreading and overall comprehension).
LOCS Election Timeline - 2010-08-31.pdf
A visualization of the election and officers in a timeline. I found it helpful in comprehending when the elections should happen.

You should be able to view them online and print them or download them. If you like, you can open the folder and view all of the files.

If you are having problems, or would like individual copies emailed to you, email us. Likewise, please email us any suggestions.

Be prepared to discuss and bring any proposed changes to our next meeting, 7:30PM on Wednesday, September 29th, 2010 at the Vintage Brewing Company (formerly JT Whitney's) at the corner of Odana Rd and Whitney Way.

For reference, if you are looking for the current by-laws, they are available as a selection in the bar on the right, or click here.

Save the date for the 2011 I Shot Six Holes in My Freezer Party!

The Loyal Order of the Caribbean Soul is pleased to announce the...

2011 "I Shot 6 Holes In My Freezer" Party

Saturday, February 19th at the new Sleep Inn & Suites in Madison!

4802 Tradewinds Parkway, Madison, WI 53718
(608) 221-8100 / (800) 4CHOICE

We're having a pool party with music, food, drinks, and a lot of fun. To keep the charity local and environmentally themed, the proceeds will benefit the Henry Vilas Zoo in Madison - one of only a few free and donation-supported zoos in the country!

Check back for more information as the date gets closer, but here's what we've got so far:

  • Rooms (regardless of size) are $69 ($79.01 with taxes)
  • There are a number of rooms right along the pool, so we'll be able to use those as hospitality rooms for the party (food, drinks, auction, etc). We'll also have the rooms on the first floor in the corridor closest to the pool area.
  • There's no bar or restaurant at the hotel, so we'll bring our own food and drinks!
  • There is, however, continental breakfast provided.
  • There will be plenty of tropical music to get you in the mood (for what, well, that's up to you).
  • And best of all, the pool area is open 24 hours, so the party won't have to stop!
  • Checkin is 3pm and checkout is 11am.

It's the same night as a Badger vs Gopher Hockey game, so the hotel WILL be packed. Make a reservation early to ensure a spot, and our block closest to the pool releases January 19th. Tell them you're part of the "Madison Parrothead Club".

More information will be posted to the I Shot Six Holes In My Freezer page on the site as we get closer!

The July happy hour is this Friday, July 9th at the UW-Madison Memorial Union Terrace. The Union is currently hemmed in by construction, with Observatory Drive closed, Langdon Street one-way inbound and Park Street one way outbound.

Some PHIP History and the return of the Silver Chalice

Taken from the January-March 2010 Tradewind Times

On April 1, 1989 approximately 15 Parrot Heads met at Chastain Park (the site of many previous Buffett concerts in Atlanta) for the first official Parrot Head Club meeting, then headed to a local patio bar for margaritas.

By the end of 1992, clubs had emerged in Beaumont, Dallas, New York City, Orlando , Detroit, and New Orleans. The First Annual Parrot Head Convention, or "Meeting of the Minds" as it is fondly referred to, was organized by Jerry Diaz of the Beaumont club to take place in New Orleans, Louisiana , home of the newest Margaritaville Store & Cafe, in late December 1992.

Approximately 80 people attended and all had a fantastic time. After all expenses were deducted from the collected registration fees, $200 was left over and donated to New Orleans Artists Against Hunger & Homelessness. The clubs also "honored" Jimmy Buffett with the "Silver Chalice" lifetime achievement award, which can still be seen high over the register at the Margaritaville store.

In an effort to recognize and pay tribute to some of the people who’ve made significant contributions to the "ParrotHead Nation" over the years and helped craft this organization into what it has become today, the PHiP Board has voted to resurrect the Silver Chalice Lifetime Achievement Award as an annual presentation at Meeting of the Minds.

The award will be presented annually with nominations coming from the general PHiP chapter membership. Further details, including qualification criteria and nomination process will be forthcoming.
