TALES FROM MY BANK OF BAD HABITS
Well, 2011 is here. I had hoped to write a profound article to start the year off,
but after several days of soul searching, nothing profound has come forth. So,
let me just say that I have high hopes for 2011. I’m expecting that our economy will
completely rebound; local, state and federal taxes will be severely cut; gas prices will
decline to under $1 per gallon; new forms of sustainable energy will be discovered on
Long Island; world peace will be achieved; and all Metros will buy their Frosted Party
tickets by the second week in January. I’m sure when we look back a year from now,
all of these goals will be reached, except probably the Frosted Party one.

TALES FROM MY BANK OF BAD HABITS
I have just a little business to cover. I’ve started writing our 2010 annual report for PHIP and I’ll
send out a summary to all of you when it’s done. We will also send out our second annual
financial report as soon as it’s completed. Please get your 2011 dues checks in the mail to Peter
if you haven’t done so yet. Seriously, please buy your Frosted Party tickets as soon as you can.
It’s not an easy job putting the party together when we have to guess at turnout. The New
England Convention is coming up pretty soon and we would really like to send a club basket.
Please help us collect items for the basket. And lastly, I will be retiring as your president
when I complete my third year this August. I’m confident that we can find another Metro as
crazy as yours truly, and the seven presidents before me, to guide the club into the future. I’ll
talk to you more on this in the coming months.
Happy New Year,
Dave Pohorylo
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!
Attention All Metro’s
Please send us Pictures, Stories, Recipes, Jokes or your best Boat

Email them to Metroparrot1@aol and we will try to get it in the next

Letter from the Editors
Hi All Metro Parrotheads,
Hope everyone is enjoying their holidays and the company of our Parrothead Family.
Just a couple of things we would like to let everyone know regarding the newsletter.
We ask everyone’s cooperation with getting articles and notifications to us by the 23rd of each month for
inclusion into the next month’s newsletter. This is necessary for layout purposes, and by the way, we
hope you like the new layout with our club officers listed on the front page.
Next, we ask that if anyone has any issues with having your picture included or if you don’t want your
picture in the Parrot Press, kindly let us know at Metroparrot1@aol.com. We will do our best to keep
you out of the newsletter. Please understand that a lot of the pictures we use are already on Facebook,
and we use those for that very reason. They are already out there. If you notice a picture out there that
you are not too fond of, just let us know. We will make sure not to use it. Conversely if you have a
GREAT picture you would like everyone to see, by all means, send it on to us.
We also want to clear up any confusion regarding E-mail notifications of parties. Lots of us have parties
in our homes and because we don’t all live in homes large enough to accommodate everyone, we have
to limit our guest lists.
If you are hosting a party or club event in your home and would like everyone to know about it, kindly
notify us at Metroparrot1@aol.com and let us know that you would like that notification to be in the
newsletter. Again, if at all possible, by the 23rd of the previous month. Of course last minute inclusions
may have to occur and we will always do our best for anything that is in the club’s best interest.
(Remember that we also have our handy dandy Our Banana Wind E-mail notification system of anything
that may have to go out to our members between newsletters)
We will not automatically include E-mails about parties that we personally receive or hear about as we
don’t know whether you want everyone to know about your party. We want to respect your privacy….
until you tell us not to.
We try our best to get everything in that we can each month and want to let you all know that we feel
privileged to be able to do this for all of you.
If you have any questions, concerns, complaints or compliments, and yes…we take those too, please
know that the line of communication is always open through Metroparrot1@aol.com, and we take great
pleasure in hearing from everyone. We will always do the best job we can for each and every one of you.
So, thanks for your attention on these issues and we look forward to better things ahead for everyone in
2011! A Happy and Healthy one to all of us!
And now, Back to the Island…… Eric & Lorraine
