NEPHC 2010 THANK YOU

To all 15^th Annual NEPHC Conventioneers, Vendors, Sponsors, Donators & Entertainment

How can you put into words the gratitude that we have for all that you did to make the 15^th Annual New England Parrot Head Convention so successful. It is truly amazing the wonderful people that exist in this world that make a difference in so many lives by helping those that are less fortunate.

By your efforts we were able to do the following:

Collected 1770lbs of food for the Open Pantry in Springfield
Raise $1,000 for the Ronald McDonald House of Springfield Mass
14 women donated 140” of hair and raised $78 to Locks of Love/Pantene Beautiful Lengths
Raised more than $12,830 between raffle room, float auctions/races, mask making, New Orleans Krawl and the Not So Newly Wed Game to be donated to The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp.

Several of you have shared photos (see links below) that show the wonderful time that everyone had listening to the great music and enjoying the special events. We are glad that we were able to create an environment for you that allowed you to escape from the daily doldrums, forget all your worries and enjoy a weekend in a New Orleans atmosphere with old and new phriends.

For those that donated their time to volunteer throughout the weekend – our sincere thank you for giving up some of your time to help us out.

We look forward to next year being able to create more wonderful memories with all of you during the Lovely New England Cruise in Connecticut.

In closing we wish you good health, prosperity and may your phins always take you safely home.

The Western Mass Parrot Head Club
