Sept 17^th – 6-9PM – Thirsty Thursday Happy Hour at The Blue Moon Lagoon floating restaurant and bar at Rock Harbor Marina in west Nashville. Click for map. Please do not park in the slip owners’ reserved area. Walk down the ramp toward the marina. When you step onto the marina office’s barge, take a sharp left and follow the dock over to the Blue Moon Lagoon. Their menu includes: mixed drinks (pineapple martini – yum), wine, beer, burgers, BBQ, chicken, pasta, salads, fish and seafood.

Our monthly charity for September is the Happy Tales Humane Society in Franklin, Tn. Please bring items for dogs and cats to the Happy Hour that will be delivered to the Happy Tails facility in Franklin. Some suggestions: Leashes, food, treats, toys, collars, kitty litter, etc. They have a ‘Wish List’ on their web site.

14 pholks attended the August Happy Hour at El Chicos. The weather was relatively mild so we spent the evening outside on the patio discussing upcoming Happy Hours, charity events and misc worldly stuff. We hung out ’till 8 PM or so and decided to leave in time to buy lottery tickets for the $250 Million drawing later that evening. I’ll be sure to send y’all a post card if I win

Spring has Sprung…………….or has it??? Come on out for our April Hump Day Happy Hour on Wednesday the 22nd at 6 PM and find out!!!

We’re heading back to that tropical haven up in Hendersonville on the shore of Old Hickory Lake! That’s right, it’s BAREFOOT CHARLIE’S (Island Attitude Local Latitude) and it’s perfect for phlocking around! It’s got colorful, beach decor, right down to the Landshark surfboard on the wall. It’s got a center bar with games on the right side and dining tables on the left (the menu looks yummy). There’s a nice big deck/patio too that overlooks the water – awesome in the summer I bet….almost there!! And they’ve got live music on Wednesday nights starting at 7:30pm. It’s easy to find – right off of Gallatin Road on Sanders Ferry Road. Click for map.

HEY!! We’ve got new members ya’all!!! Come out and share a brew and some great music with your fellow parrot heads, and WELCOME our 12 newest phlockers!

And while you’re at it…..we’ve chosen 2 CHARITIES, close to home, that we hope you’ll participate in!!!
1. Our former president, Debra, has written a proposal for raising money for a very distressed and victimized colleague. Details were in the email attachment sent in the Happy Hour announcement email. Email me at info@mcphins.com if you deleted the email and wish to see the attachment again.
2. Our charity director, Tina, is asking us to reach out to our neighbors in Murfreesboro who were recent victims of the Good Friday tornado. The American Red Cross is accepting donations to distribute to those in immediate need.

If either of these causes brings out the Parrot Head in you – join us next Wednesday to Party With a Purpose. We will be collecting cash, checks or gift card donations the whole evening. It’s what we do, it’s who we are.

I’m looking forward to seeing ya ~ Cheers!
