General Meeting and Happy Hour

Limericks Pub (7304 Macleod Trail SE, upstairs)

We will be introducing our new board members, discussing the fundraising activities that we hope to accomplish this year, as well as sharing a few holiday stories. We'd love to see you out for this!

If you haven't submitted your 2019 membership application form yet, this would be a great opportunity to pick it up. The website has the PDF form for downloading, just print it off, fill it out and bring it to Limericks for the General Meeting & Happy Hour. The price of our membership for a year hasn't gone up like most of the other PHiP clubs!

Also, if you have any (Buffett themed/tropical) items in excellent shape that you would like to donate to the Silent Auction, this would be a great time to bring them out.

We are certain that 2019 will be an amazing year for helping out the citizens of our city! We should all be proud of the volunteering and fundraising efforts we put into our community every year! By "Partying With a Purpose", we make such a difference!

Come on out and join in the phun -- See you at Limericks!

River Rafting: It's Not On (Cancelled due to lack of interest)

Sunday July 22, 2018

Original details listed in italics:

*As long as the weather holds out; this is a weather-dependent club activity. Forecast for a week ahead looks good so far.

Please - if you're interested:

• RSVP to Club:
• Reserve your raft at:
  
  Lazy Day Raft Rentals- 720 3 Street NW (Same building as Calgary Curling Club in Sunnyside, at north end of pedestrian bridge to Prince's Island Park) Parking available at location.
  Phone: 403-258-0575. Website: www.lazydayraftrentals.com

Cost: 6 person raft- $75, life jackets are $5, and you can make an arrangement to either park and have a ride to Shouldice Park by Lazy Day Raft Rentals, or pick up your raft directly and then return it after you have rafted.

We will meet at Shouldice Park location (4911 Monserrat Drive NW) at 12:30 PM and launch from Shouldice Park at 1:00 PM .

This is a 2.5 hour rafting excursion between Shouldice Park and Lazy Day Raft's location in Sunnyside.

Disclaimer notice: The Calgary Parrot Head Club takes no responsiblity for loss of personal items, injury, or death.

Also: No alcoholic beverages are permitted on the river within the city limits. So it'll have to be "Yo ho ho and a bottle of gatorade."

After rafting, we plan to meet at Julio's Barrio: 1110 Memorial Dr NW, at about 3:30 pm (give or take). This is 1 km west from Lazy Day Raft Rentals / the end location of rafting.
