Our Mission: "Party with a Purpose"

Using the attitude that Jimmy Buffett sings and writes about, our mission is to exist as a service club. Oue objective is to bring together those people who not only enjoy his music, but will be representative of  his positive messages about giving back to the community and restoring and protecting the environment. We will use volunteer hours as well as hosting fund raising projects to accomplish much, while having fun at the same time. Our club is open to anyone with a Caribbean soul who is willing to work a few hours during the year. All club members in good standing will be able to contribute their ideas for charity projects as well as social functions. Each member will have a voice in what goes on.

We will hold monthly meeting to get a little Buffett fix that we all need. Some of us need it daily. We request input from our members on where to meet, things to do, places go and people to see. What do you do at the concerts and what concerts have you been to? We want to know your story from ordinary person to parrothead.

Some of our service club charities, volunteer hours and fund raising efforts include: Bristol Motor Speedway Children's Charities, Alzheimer's, Boone Lake Association, the Holston Lake Clean Up, Big Tom's Ride to Survive, Buffett All Day to benefit local animal shelters, an assisted living center Luau, and the American Cancer Society. Other charities may be added to the annual calendar as time allows.

 

 
HISTORY LESSON, HISTORY LESSON...

We formed a club in 2001 under the direction of myself, Mike Blalock and Margaret Sells. We are a sanctioned member of Parrot Heads in Paradise (the national organization). Jimmy asked his parrot head clubs to give back to their own communities. Click on "Friends in Need" to see the charities we support. 

In the past we have hosted a PH Mardi Gras to benefit the BMS Children's Charities, Luas at the Pine Oaks Assisted Living Center, picked up trash 2 days per year around area lakes as a team on clean up days, donate Toys for Tots at Christmas, played PH Survivor for charity on an Island with the Smoky Mountain PH Club members, have meetings/cookouts at members homes sometimes, host a Gumbo party, take little road trips to visit other area PH Clubs, attend a concert as a club and several of us attend the national convention in Key West held in November. We have even built Christmas floats for the Johnson City Christmas parades several years.
We plan road trips to places like Gulf Shores, AL to attend STARS FELL ON ALABAMA with our friends. All road trips are encouraged travel but not a club requirement.


Concert Season of 2003, 4 Tennessee Clubs and Tall Paul sold Tee shirts pre concert for a good cause and $1300+ was raised for the W.O. Smith School of Music in Nashville.

We are a bunch of fruitcakes from several walks of life. We have a great group willing to work for our community, the environment & a few treats that come our way from Jimmy Buffett and our PHriends. Some of our members are musicians & we are even working on our own parrothead hillbilly band. Nothing professional, but it sure comes in handy at some of the cook outs & gatherings we have during the year.

You are more than welcome to meet us and look us over. Check the Clubhouse page for information about the next Hillbilly Hang Out Gang event. Hope to see you somewhere in a conga line soon.
