A great, great time and wonderful party!

The Tubing Trip is a Partnering event with the Sarasota Bay Parrot Head Club. The tube ride is followed by a cook out -- Parrot Head style -- at the hotel pool. This is a not-to-be-missed outing. If you have never gone tubing down the Ichnetucknee, you will be amazed at how much fun the ride can be! More details will be available as we get closer to the date of the event. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED It takes a lot of oars in the water to keep this ship afloat and we have a lot of rowing spots where we need YOU!! The club is looking for a few Parrot Heads to work at Membership, the Phins Store, the Raffle, and the Membership Table. If you can offer some time to help make the best club in the world even better, please see Biker Steve, our First Mate and Volunteer Coordinator . REMEMBER...TOGA...TOGA...TOGA...
