About the
Parrot Head Club
of Eastern Massachusetts

~ Mission Statement ~

Our mission is to be a congregation of individuals living out the philosophies of Parrot Heads: Celebrating our passion for fun and life, and contributing to the community through our efforts on behalf of charitable organizations.

If you’re wondering about our club, you are likely already a fan of Jimmy Buffett (that’s a pre-requisite), the Caribbean life style, fun, and relaxation. You probably also find yourself attracted to Hawaiian shirts, lei’s, shark hats, grass skirts, palm trees and the like. In a nut shell, you fit right in!

Our club is a chapter of the larger Parrot Heads In Paradise national club (www.phip.com) of which there are over 200 clubs internationally. We are incorporated as a non-profit organization in Massachusetts. We have a Bored of Directors to keep things going, all volunteer their time, and everyone pays dues. Club membership is $20 for one and $25 for a couple per year.

What about social events? Our club holds regular, and some irregular, get-togethers to fulfill our mission statement. Our gatherings include monthly membership socials, parties for special events, day events, weekend events, etc. Come join us for a boat cruise, holiday party, road rally, camping trip, beach clean up, or Halloween party!

There is also an annual New England Parrot Head Convention that all nine New England clubs participate in. We keep our members informed of events at other Parrot Head clubs around the country too, just in case you’re traveling and want to meet up with some folks that share your interests. We don’t limit our invitations to members only either, all are welcome, you just need to like Bubba’s music.

We keep our members up-to-date with the latest news through our newsletter, the MAÑANA TIMES. You’ll get the latest member, club, and Buffett news from around the globe. We also have a web site (www.phcoem.com), and we have an e-mail list serv for you to share your favorite Buffett experiences, and get club news as it happens.

We are very proud of our community and environmental work too! Our primary charity is the Massachusetts Special Olympics. We organize club members, and volunteer to help out at athletic games throughout the year. We also do some fund-raising to help get the athletes the equipment they need to compete, and we have a great time doing it!

But that’s not all we do. We participate in a number of other charities and environmental issues that are important to our members. If one of our members wants help with something important to them, we help organize other members in our club that are willing to help out too. We have an active group of approximately 600 members in Massachusetts located from about Worcester east to the coast.

The most valuable asset in our club is the membership itself. You won’t find a nicer bunch of people anywhere. Doesn’t matter where, when or how you meet a club member, you’ll be glad you did. Whether you want to share a concert story, margarita recipe, or whatever, these folks are here to help, listen, and have fun. To get the most out of this club all you have to do is be an active member, it’s all about escaping the hum drum with a change of latitude.
