uor aisle of Safeway, and rec-ommended a wine to go with crab, was invited to join the feed. She claimed also to be diabetic herself, yet proceeded to drink several glasses of wine, before downing ½ bottle of Jack Daniels, while the bartender’s back was turned. She soon could not walk, and appeared catatonic. An ambulance was called, and she was taken to the hospital. She was declared to not be diabetic, and released herself from the hospital a few hours later. Initially she was funny and weirdly engaging, yet the evening turned scary with the sirens and lights of the am-bulance, and people trying to determine if there was some-one to call and notify of the events. I think the lesson here is to not invite people you have only met once, in the liquor aisle of a supermarket…

KVIE article pro-vided by Sandy Riggs

Bright and early on Saturday morning March 10th sixteen Parrot Heads representing the Lat38 PHC and PPOCD reported

to KVIE in Sacramento for an 8

- 12 AM pledge drive shift. The Lat 38 PHC team was made up of Sandy & Bruce Riggs, Kat Fernandez, Gary Rockhill, Renee Hyatt, Michael Thomp-son, Kathleen Henry, Sandy Waters, and Becci Hanna. For the first two hours a show on

menopause was aired and our group collected more than $12,000 in pledges! The sec-ond two hours was a show on one-skillet cooking and, as usual, we got

a lot of airtime due to our color-ful attire.

Following our shift, all sixteen of us (plus an additional PPOCD member) went to the Blue Gecko Restaurant on Garden Highway for lunch. They had us set up to eat upstairs inside, but it was so nice out that we convinced our waitress to move us outdoors to the upper deck. After wiping down all the tables and chairs from their winter storage outside, the waitress accommodated our request. We

Big Round Ball… Cheryl Bashor Latitude 38 PHC gets crabby article provided by J9Happ

The annual Theta Tau Theta Crab feed benefiting Diabetic Youth Summer camp was a fun night! There were 33 members and friends all ready for some good food and good fun. The reports are that this year’s crab was the best people had ever tasted, and a couple of mem-bers didn’t come up for air until completely stuffed. The moan-ing and groaning that were heard gives good reason why children are not invited to at-tend! After the crab and pasta, we took over the dance floor for some rocking and rolling. Over-all, we helped raise over $4,000 for summer camp where diabetic kids can feel just like every other summer camp kid.

There was one cautionary tale among all the fun. A person claiming to be a chef, who met up with some of the members (of Theta Tau Theta) in the liq-

Parrot Heads in Amish Paradise is a group of folks located in central Pennsylvania.

They have raised over $200,000 for Myasthenia Ga-vis, as well as money for Big Brother/Big Sisters, Alzheimer’s Association, for Bike for the Cure, and a local burn victim. They also do road cleanup at Route 441 near Three Mile Island. No glow in the dark jokes please.

Every year they host Parrotpa-looza which this year is July 7, 2007 at the Holiday Inn in Mechnicsburg, PA. The event which raises funds for the PA Chapter of the Myasthenia Gra-vis Foundation of America fea-tures The John Frinzi Band, Kelly McGuire, Hugo Duarte, and Tropical Soul.

Myasthenia Gravis is an autoim-mune neuromuscular disease that results from a lack of com-munication between nerves and muscles. For more information go to http://www.pamgfa.org/.

The Amish Parrotheads are raffling off a homemade quilt featuring t-shirts from several PHC’s including Latitude 38. Raffle tickets can be purchased on their website.

Tropical Reading (For The Bibliophiles Amongst us.)

These 10 questions origi-nally came from a French series, "Bouillon de Culture" hosted by Bernard Pivot. It is probably more familiar to many as the question James Lipton asks at the end of "Inside the Actor's Studio."

I've found these questions interesting among friends. It's amazing what the simple answers to these questions reveal about a person's thoughts, feelings and be-liefs.

of a renewed freedom. Freedom to uncover an important part of our anatomy. Freedom to indulge in public displays of unabashed nudity. Freedom to let these naked parts roam unencumbered. Of course you knew I was refer-ring to your feet. It's time to kick off your shoes, to reveal those toes. And bare feet are an im-portant part of Summer,

Last Thursday, we experienced an astronomical event in the northern hemisphere called the Solstice, commonly known as the first day of Summer. Last night, additional evidence of Summer was provided in Pitts-burgh, Jimmy Buffett enter-tained at another sold out show, for Parrot Heads, proof positive that Summer is here.

Summer is important to Parrot Heads, because it is the season

and Jimmy's music, and Jimmy's show. Jimmy performs in his bare feet and sets the standard for proper Summer foot treat-ment, and encourages us to do likewise. Parrot Heads in Paradise takes this encouragement very seri-ously. Well aware that our toes need sand and surf, this year's Meeting of the Minds is named Barefootin' Key West, a celebra-

Water views add to the allure of this long-time Key West favorite that also now has a cigar bar and Berlin's Cock-tail lounge for potables.

We are planning on getting together for lunch with the PPOCD group again. Also, the PPOCD invited all of us to their happy hours held at the Blue Gecko on the first Tuesday of each month.

2nd Annual Poker Tournament

Latitude 38’s 2nd annual No Limit Texas Hold Em Poker Tournament was held on the evening of April 14th. The tour-nament was another huge suc-cess raising $2000.00 for An-gelman Syndrome and CFRI. The silent auction alone raised $1663.00 and everyone felt they walked away with some really great items for a steal! Andy and Liz Barrow donated a week at their new condo in Puerto Vallarta which was the biggest money maker. Terry Reikson donated over $1000.00 in A’s and Giants tickets. The Brian’s donated 2 nites and dinner at the Atlantis, Reno and Ron Happ donated a Hooters Wing party just to name a few of the many items do-nated. I see you are all getting very creative in your donations and I want to thank each and every one of your for your gener-osity! This event wouldn’t be a success without your donations.

The night was full of phun, priends and phood. Susie brought her yummy egg salad sandwiches again and Pam Brain won big bucks on the pull tabs! The poker was hot, hot, hot with Jenn Goudreau winning first place and $300.00 and Ryan Bashor again taking sec-ond place and $150.00.

National Letter Carriers Food Drive

Article provided by J9 Happ

We worked the Contra Costa Food Bank Letter Carrier Food Drive at the Antioch Post Office on Saturday, May 12. It was a different experience than work-ing in the Food Bank, but fun all the same. The hours were long, but it didn’t feel like a lot of work because the trucks did not all come in at the same time. There would be one or two, and then a few minutes before the next one or two came in. Julie from the food bank was appreciative of all our help and said this year was not as plentiful as last. She thinks it's due to the economy being poor. We did cheer for the let-ter carriers as they came in, and one was embarrassed to come up to us because he thought he didn't have enough donations! We assured him that every donation, no matter how small or large, makes a difference in a family's life. After our work, we set off for Humphrey's on the Delta. We had bad maps, and bad directions, but a Parrot Head's sense of nearest water must be keen, because we all made it! A good time was had by all. Great views, good food, and wonderful, generous Angels in Tropical Shirts - what more could you ask for?

Relay For Life® is a fun-filled overnight event designed to bring together those who have been touched by cancer in our community. Relay is much more than a walk around a track. It is a time to remember those lost to cancer and celebrate those who have survived. During this event, we honor survivors during the Sur-vivors Lap and we remember those we lost to cancer during the Luminaria Ceremony.

Those of us with family and friends who have cancer watch as they fight so hard for so long and feel the pain of knowing all we can do is be there for them. As much as we want to fight part of the battle for them we can't. This relay might seem like the least we can do for those fighting cancer when actually it may be the MOST we can do for them. Together we will fuel the work and the hope that can help make a cancer-free future a reality. By joining together as volunteers and do-nors, our efforts help the Ameri-
