Seguin Parrot Head Club helps support local non-profits in Seguin, New Braunfels By Cindy AguirreHerrera (Seguin) -- A local group's mission to party hard every month has again paid off. The Seguin Parrot Head Club is again supporting a handful of local non-profits thanks to its year long efforts to "party with a purpose." Dewey Lawhon, the president of the Seguin Parrot Head Club, says members this year awarded the groups with some much needed funds -- funds that all go to support and operate their individual operations.

"We let the club members nominate nonprofits and service organizations to receive funds and then the club votes and the top 10 are the ones that get (the money) to support their mission," said Lawhon. Of course to raise the money, the Parrot Head

Club relies on more than just its members. Lawhon says he appreciates all those who continue to support the group's summer Phling. "The big fundraiser that we have is called the Phling and the PH is the takeoff on the Jimmy Buffet phrase 'Parrot Head.' Parrot Head International uses the PH quite a bit in place of the letter 'f' and we call it a Phling and we have a good time at The Phling. It's a big fundraiser. It's all-youcan-eat food. We have adult beverages. We also have a big dance and both auctions (live and silent) contribute quite a bit to that total," said Lawhon. ‘See PARROT, page 9
