THE STARS OF OUR SHOW: DENNIS AND CARLA!
Parrots was a huge success and we owe so much to our Chairs Dennis Sanders and Carla Daily. You
took on the task that most of us shy away from and once again made Parrots not only successful but fun! Thank
you for your leadership and hard work in making 2008 Parrots of the Caribbean the best ever. You have set the bar
high and it will be hard to fill your shoes next year….but I think Steve Croomes has volunteered!
