How can I help?
Glad you asked. Parrot Grande could not be as fun and great as it is without the help of some volunteers.
We need people for setup, teardown, help with the raffle and to man the mini-mart/silent auction room.
We’ll try to limit your time to about an hour depending on how many people sign up.
Remember, many hands make light work so get your buddies to sign up to help, too!
The MOST IMPORTANT Thing you can do is "SEEK THE TREASURE" by asking for Donations for our Silent Auction and Raffle... Anything is a good prize! Remember, it all goes to charity!
When is the Golf Tournament?
The Parrot Head Golf Tournament will be Saturday morning, starting at about 7:30 AM. We'll be playing 19 Holes on one of the three gorgeous courses at the Wigwam.
