expensive.

may also be made by check made out to "The Atlanta Parrot Head Club" and mailed
to Ann Gotthelf at 2300 Peachtree Road, Suite B-206, Atlanta, GA 30309. Please

Community service points for the Parrothead Cruise are awarded for pitching in to help with the upcoming cruise. We have a three tiered approach: To receive a community service point (only one point per member) you must complete one of the following three "tiers":
- Go on the cruise, and volunteer at least 2 hours working a charity event during the cruise. Brent Jones maintains a signup sheet for this.
- Sell (or buy) at least 2 Cruise Raffle tickets. See the Parrothead Cruise website for details.
- Volunteer at least 2 hours in pre-cruise activities. Please contact Brent Jones (brent@parrotheadcruise.com) to sign up for these activities. He will be maintaining this list and assigning tasks on a first-come, first-served basis. This will include activities like making ID badges, stuffing goody bags, etc.
