Spare Change Challenge

We have a winner for the Spare Change Challenge. This time it is Jim Racz with team "Jimmy's Little Helpers". They collected a total of $453.00 which we rounded up to $500.00, great job! Thanks to Jim and Donna for their fundraising efforts that will go to the Department of Health and Human Services. Also thanks to everyone who donated all year long.



We now start again with two new Captains. This time we are going with an international challenge! From USA is Steve Padgett with team "Padge's Pirate Posse" and from Canada is Di Slovit with team "Flamazing Flamingos"! The charity had not been chosen, we will vote on it at the December meeting. Good luck to both teams!



Halloween Bus

The club rented Tim Horan's party bus for Halloween. We gathered at Sam's Club parking lot and bar hopped several bars in town. Costumes were highly recommended! Most of the 18 people didn't disappoint! In case you can't guess what Ken is....He is the Hamburglar in Paradise!!






Off we went to several bars like The Office, The Active, Bootlegger's Axe Co and Wrigley Center to name a few. We had drinks, shots and danced at some places. We tried to do a Team Drink at each one to shock the quiet bars!



It was a great time had by all. A great big thank you to Tim Horan for driving us around and showing us such a great time! Don't we look like a fun bunch!!



BWPHC 22nd Anniversary Party

Sept. 10, 2025 was the club's 22 anniversary so we had a party on Sept. 13th at the home of Jim and Donna Howard. Steve Padgett created Pyro Pete again for us to burn, he also made his famous dessert, Jim Racz had a cake made and Tom and Candi Lozowski made the gumbo! Jim Howard did the cooking and the fire pit was ready to go.





Here is a flash back to the cooking of the gumbo.



People sat around talking or playing corn hole. Then we ate.





Soon it was time to announce who won the Phlucking Phlocker Award. An award given to a member who has done alot for the club in the past year. This year it was Tom Lozowski! Congratulations Tom! He will get to keep the award in his house for the year. He also has to add something to the award before returning it back to the club to give to someone else next anniversary party!



Now it was time to start the Boat Drink Contest. Our three judges this year were Donna Howard, Sue Horan and Dennis Heath.



First up was Maddie Koebke with "Brain Rot"




Next up was Kelly Parker with "Flor de Pirata". Kelly wrote a Parrot Head song and had Rick Way use AI to make the song. She played it while she was mixing the drink.




Last but not least was Ken Nofs with "Willy Wonky". Ken was playing the Oomm Paa Loom Paa song from Willy Wonka!



And the winners are: for Taste is Ken Nofs! for Presentation is Kelly Parker!



Then Bill got the fire started!



We listened to music and talked around the fire. At one point Key Lime Shooters went around and some Blackberry Crown. Also some Blue Chair Key Lime Cream went around. Then it was time to burn Pyro Pete. Bill found the perfect spot for him and he went up like the wooden boy that he is!!



It was a good night! We all couldn't believe this has been going on for 22 years!! Here is hoping we are still going for 22 more! Thanks to Jim and Donna for opening up their house to us! Thanks to those who brought a dish to pass! But most of all thanks to all the Parrot Heads for being in the club so we can continue to "Party With A Purpose"!

Putt'in 4 Paws

Every year we go to Sanilac County Humane Society Putt'in 4 Paws to play golf, to raise money and collect donations for the animals. This year was no different. A good group gathered there. Laurie Racz got the money and sold 50/50 tickets. A good stack of donations were gathered. Then off we went to golf. Can Kasey make that hole between his lets? The answer is yes he can!! Pauline made two holes in one but neither was the Mystery Hole.




It was pretty hot that day but we made it all the way through the course. The money was counted and the 50/50 ticket was drawn. Lynda Caryl was the 50/50 winner. Karen Racz and AJ gave the $300.00 check to them. The amount taken was less but the club rounded up to $300.00.



We then went out to the sign to get a group picture! After that those who wanted to went to The Village Pub for a late lunch,



We want to thank Karen Racz for chairing this for us each year. Thanks to everyone who came out to golf, donate an item and bought a 50/50 ticket! We hope we can continue supporting the Humane Society next year.

Lexington Parade

Some pictures of the float before the Lexington 4th of July parade. The white bus does not belong to the club but it does belong to a club member! So we are really hoping for some bar hopping trips!





Thanks Jim Howard for taking the float up there. Thanks to everyone who came our to decorate and march in the parade. Thanks to Tim Horan for bringing the bus!
