The 7 Lucky Bars bus trip went off this past Saturday, March 15, 2008, without a hitch! The 30 of us on the bus had a great time, and we even raised some money for Hospice of the Valley! The final amount is still being calculated, but ANY amount that we can raise for a good cause is always a good thing! Many thanks to YPHC Vice President Mike Humes, Secretary Peggy Humes and Social Chair Lu Anne Bumgardner for all their hard work in putting it all together and making it go so smoothly.

The Mahoning Chapter of the American Red Cross developed the Heroes of the Mahoning Valley breakfast because it is an event that exemplifies the Red Cross dedication to humanity and desire to promote mutual understanding, friendship and cooperation.
Five years ago, the Heroes of the Mahoning Valley began and since has grown into one of the most important humanitarian events in the Valley. This event pays tribute to those who have extraordinary courage, compassion of character or humanity, and saved or improved the lives of others.
Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross said, "The door that nobody else will go in at, seems always to swing open widely for me." These words are the words of a hero and these words exemplify each and every Hero of the Mahoning Valley that we honor today. They travel down the road less traveled and by doing so, they are enriching others, improving our community and making the world a better place to live.
Today we honor our 2008 Heroes of the Mahoning Valley. Your dedication to community, charity and humanity is unprecedented. Thank you for: Becoming part of the team... becoming part of the family... becoming part of the American Red Cross.

James A Pitzer
Chairman of the Board

W Russell Preston
Executive Director, CEO

2008 Heroes of the Mahoning Valley The names of the men and women below exemplify the extraordinary courage, compassion, character, and humanity that exist in the Mahoning Valley.
Like our 2008 Heroes of the Mahoning Valley, the American Red Cross is guided by our strong dedication to humanity and the desire to promote mutual understanding, friendship, cooperation and lasting peace among all.

Valerie Chorba
Community Impact
Nominated By: Denise Brindle

A dedicated Jimmy Buffet fan, Valerie started the Youngstown Parrothead Club this past April.
Believing so much in the community, she utilized the club into doing some good for it. She organized fund-raisers to raise money for non-profit organizations in the area:

1. Golf Outing for the March of Dimes
2. Corn Hole Classic and Chili Cook-off for Beatitude House

Together, these fund-raisers has raised approximately $8,000!

What a way to impact the community!

A few pics from the awards ceremony can be seen at the YPHC's Flickr account.

We'll be taking full advantage of the drink specials and the 50 cent tacos at The Point:

View Larger Map next Tuesday, January 22, 2008, beginning at 6:30pm. The Board has been hard at work, trying to set dates and decide on events for the new year, so be sure to come out and join us so you can learn all about it. Of course, we'll be forming committees to work on the various events. And, speaking of events, go check out our events page for a quick list of some of the events we're planning.

One more thing - dues for 2008 are now due - overdue actually. Please get your dues in ASAP. Once again, dues are $20 per person, or $30 per couple.

That's right pholks, we'll phlock tomorrow, Saturday January 5, 2008 at President Val's apartment in Poland. Contact the webmaster for the address, if you don't already have it.

They may be Buffett fans, but these volunteers are not about to waste away time in Margaritaville.
Indeed, Parrotheads in Paradise may have something to squawk about in the New Year.
The local Relay for Life team hopes to raise $15,000 by May for the American Cancer Society, says Jessica Shover of West Pennsboro Township.

Happy Holidays from everyone at the Youngstown Parrot Head Club. Please PLEASE PLEASE be careful tonight if you are out and about ringing in the New Year. Please consider using a designated driver, or one of the designated driver services.

In an effort to get us through these long cold dark winter months, I'm going to start including some Buffett news stories, the first of which appears below. I hope you enjoy!

Many clubs have guidelines, but having "a little bit of fruitcake left" and wanting to "give a little back" might be the most lenient set of rules for any Southern Illinois civic group.
"We are people that enjoy a laid-back and tropical sort of lifestyle," said Todd Moore of Harrisburg, chapter president. "And, of course, we enjoy the music of Jimmy Buffett. It's not really a fan club, per se, but I guess the term 'parrot head' was born at a Jimmy Buffett concert and it represents his whole persona and lifestyle. It started in Atlanta with the first club."
The Southern Illinois Parrot Head Club goes by the motto, Partying for a Purpose, and has adopted a very civic-minded middle ground between charity work and having a good time.

Full story.

Unfortunately, due to lack of support, the Merry Parrot Party Bus trip has been canceled. Any registration fees paid will be refunded immediately. Hopefully, after the holidays, we'll try it again, so those of you that were registered and paid, keep your eyes open.

Several of us met last night at the Quaker Steak & Lube in Austintown. Board members in attendance (Val, Tim, Jeff and Jamie) met with Jason the manager and voted to schedule the 2nd Wednesday of every month as our official monthly get together. That will coincide with the Lube's Trop Rock night help every Wednesday. Be sure to join us next Tuesday October 9, 2007, for All-You-Can-Eat wing and buffet night as a pre-party prior to our first Wednesday night get-together on October 10, 2007. The Lube has pledged drink specials, live entertainment, raffles and giveaways, as well as their wholehearted support of our fundraising efforts. With our members and the Lube's support, we should be able to raise even more money in the future for donation to charity.

And, speaking of money to be donated to charity, just wait til you hear the amount that we're going to be able to donate to Beatitude House from this past weekend's Cornhole Classic and Chili Cookoff.

If anyone wants to caravan from the Ytown area to the Holiday Inn prior to that, email me, and I'll post it for other YPHC members to see.

Don't forget about the get together 8pm this Saturday at the Boxcar. Bartender Bob will have drink specials and maybe he'll rustle up a snack or 3 for us. Some YPHCers have a wedding to attend in the evening and will be arriving a little later, so be sure to bring all friends to help us with the Coronas and margaritas.

Registration and sponsorship documents have been posted on the outing's page. Click here!!!

The Youngstown Parrot Head Club is very lucky to have found that "One Particular Harbor" right in the heart of Youngstown. Several of us walked into the Boxcar Lounge at the B&O Station - (click here for a map) to check it out and found the perfect haven - a well stocked bar with over 70 different types of beer, a beautiful deck and outdoor area overlooking Millcreek Park and the river, a ladies room so nice one could live in it and, best of all, bartender/manager, Bob Schott (a self-proclaimed Margarita "purist"), who has welcomed us with wide spread wings and a willingness to work with a bunch of crazies like us! PHins UP, Bob!!!
