RUM CHUMS

The Mid-Michigan Parrot Head Club (Rum Chums) is a carefree social group formed to promote friendships and fun in the spirit of a tropical lifestyle and Jimmy Buffett music. We are a non-profit group that is interested in helping with environmental and charitable concerns within our local community.

MMPHC was formed in May 2003 after a chance encounter aboard Parrothead Cruise 2003. To date we have raised over $45,000 for local charities while having a lot of fun along the way. We call it "partying with a purpose". Mid-Michigan Parrot Head Club is an official Chapter Member of Parrot Heads in Paradise, Inc. (PHiP)

Next meeting TBA. We're counting up money and paying the Phun Phest bills. We should have a total soon.

June 20, 2009 at Jimmy's on Chandler Rd.

The ground was a little damp, but at least we didn't make national news by having thousands of cars stranded in the parking lot. It turned out to be a beautiful night, and we had a great time ... and raised a bunch of money for our cause. More details coming soon.

On April 22, 2009 we lost a wonderful Parrothead, Chris Keene. Below is the information that will be put in the paper this week. As I get word about a celebration of his life I will pass it along. For those of you who are trying to place him, he always wore the tanish/green fishing hat to functions. His smile and dance moves will be missed. The club will be sending a donation in his honor.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations in honor of Mr. Keene be made to the Stockbridge Education Foundation, c/o Stockbridge Community Schools, 305 West Elizabeth, Stockbridge, MI 49285. Condolences can be sent to The Keene Family, 2030 Lac Du Mont, Haslett, MI 48840.
