It’s been so wonderful being a part of the 26th Annual Meeting Of The Minds this year in Key West. For those who don’t know, MOTM is a convention of Parrot Head Clubs whose members travel (or phlock – as they say) from far and wide to “Party With a Purpose”. Despite the devastation in the Keys from Hurricane Irma, the Parrot Heads persisted. MOTM would happen with the original theme “We’re Still Here!” Totally appropriate!
I have always loved my Parrot Head friends who inspire me to live more colorfully and consciously, and to dance more often! Recently, having come across statistics about the good work that these clubs have been doing, I just had to share!
Since 2002, over 200 clubs have formed in the US, Canada, Europe, the Caribbean, and Australia. In the last 15 years these groups have raised $46.5 million and have logged 3,815,000 volunteer hours. How. Freaking. Amazing!
Each club works locally to assist in community services ranging from distributing Christmas gifts to seniors and hospital patients to animal rescue efforts, to environmental concerns like beach and park clean-ups and more.
This week at Meeting Of The Minds, I am absolutely honored and humbled to share in their company and revelry! These are the people! MOTM 2018 is already in my calendar and I can not wait!
To all of the Parrot Heads… thank you for what you have done and what you continue to do for the greater good of humanity! From the #CrazySista … sending you all the #GumboLove
