July be mid complete and I better not hear one squawk about the heat after the winter
and spring we faced! Tis the season for music, and the decks be full of revelry. Have ye
checked the logs lately? Seems the choices be overflowing from the local fare to the
mythical troubadours that grace our fair city yearly. With that comes our own gathering
of the masses for to party with a purpose. That being to help out the sailors and sirens
that need a little extra assistance, but only at the cost of our merriment! Captain Buffett
be here, Summer Chi.ill be a comin.’ And summer we can only hope will last forever.
Here’s to us and a fair sail, raise yer rum and give yerself an extra ration. Ye have all
earned it!
Billy Brehm, the Pirate King
Heel yo ho, boys; let her go, boys; Bring her head round, into the weather, Heave her ho, boys, let her go, boys; Sailing homeward to Mingulay
What care we though, white the Minch is? What care we for wind or weather? Let her go boys; every inch is; Sailing homeward to Mingulay.
Wives are waiting, by the pier head, Or looking seaward, from the heather; Heave her round, boys, then you'll anchor; Ere the sun sets on Mingulay.
Ships return now, heavy laden; Mothers holdin' bairns a-cryin' They'll return, though, when the sun sets; They'll return to Mingulay.

Johnny Russler is coming!! Johnny Russler is coming!!!
On September 21, 2019 at 5:00 PM Johnny Russler will be playing on the South Side of
Chicago. He will be performing to help us raise money for our Alzheimer’s Walk. The
location is Firewater Saloon at 3908 W. 111th St. in Mount Greenwood. Along with his
great music, we will have raffles and some great give away.
We only have 15 members, same as last month, signed up for the walk (you don’t have to
walk to raise money) and we are far from our goal of $10,000.00 with $2736.00 raised.
Please go to your page or another member page and make a personal donation. If you don’t
make a personal donation why would anyone else?
The Alzheimer’s Walk is Saturday, October 28, 2019 at 10:00 AM. As most of you know,
it’s usually on Sunday, but this year it’s on Saturday. We are looking for suggestions about
where to go and what to do after the walk. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
Our web page is up and running so sign up when you can.
act.alz.org/go to/ChicagoParrotHeads
If you need any help or support material related to the walk, please contact me. It’s later
in the year than usual, but we will be up for the challenge – great way to get the MOTM
party started!!

organizations as well. The only requirement to attend is to be a member in good standing
of a recognized Parrot Head club. Registration is now open. I will be going down early in
