Afterwards, we gather at a local tiki bar/restaurant and celebrate our accomplishment. Another time that we simply have fun together.

The club typically meets every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month at Whiskey Joe’s.

On a month where there is a 5th Wednesday, the club usually meets at different locations and the meeting is a little more casual.

Please consult our calendar for the details for any 5th Wednesday Club Meeting.

This is where one will find details of the location of the meeting.

Hope to see you there!

Each year the TBPH Club holds a Holiday Party. It is usually held on Treasure Island, at the Treasure Island Community Center.

Members bring a covered dish and/or dessert to share and the Club provides the main dishes.

There is live music and dancing throughout the night and of course we have a few Parrot Head contests for fun.

This is a night of PHun but also an opportunity to give back to our community.

This is the time of year that TBPH recognizes all our volunteers, Volunteer of the year and Fruitcake Board of Directors.

Please collect unwrapped toys, canned or boxed food or unwrapped pet toys and food and bring them. You don’t have to give to each one and I’m sure that something will “leap” into your cart this week!

Santa has been known to make an appearance. It’s all good fun.

Some Members choose to spend the night at one of the nearby hotels, so they make it a little weekend get-away.

Sooooooooooooooooooo -pull out your best Holiday Parrot Head dress…and come on down!

Treasure island Community Center is located at 1 Park Pl, Treasure Island, FL 33706.
