Volunteering:
​
Although we are primarily a social club, we have a long rich history of giving back to the community. We typically exceeded 20,000 hours of volunteer time each year. We have donated close to or over 2000 pints of blood in each of the past two years. We have donated over $150,000 to Alzheimer’s over the past three years with our golf tournaments. We have Parrot Heads actively volunteering at The Villages Hospice, The Villages Hospital, Toys for Tots, Food Pantries, Blood Drives and for many other charitable organizations.
​
All of our club activities are organized and executed by volunteers. Major volunteer opportunities include the Chili Cook-off in February, the Parrot Head Spring Festival in March, Pool parties in the Summer, Halloween Party, Christmas Party, New Year’s Eve Party.
​
Get involved any way you can. Run for office, chair a committee or a trip, attend committee meetings, take attendance, sell 50 / 50 tickets, give blood. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved and give back to the club and the community. And if you volunteer, we hand out Volunteer Parrot Hours.
Volunteer Parrot Hours:
​
Volunteer Parrot Hours are simply our method of tracking the volunteer efforts of our members both for club functions and for charitable activities that have been pre-approved by the Executive Committee. Each year in January we hold a Volunteer Appreciation Party and award volunteer pins to those members who have accumulated enough Volunteer Parrot Hours to meet the requirements set by the Executive Committee. In addition, we will be using hours to determine who can and cannot sign up early for selected special events and parties.
​​
For any volunteering at an approved club event, you will receive 1 Volunteer Parrot Hour rounded for each hour worked. To accumulate any additional hours, an individual must work an additional ½ hour. Example: 1 hour 10 minutes = 1 hour.
1 hour 30 minutes = 2 hours.
​
​ 1 - The number of Volunteer Parrot Hours required to purchase early tickets using is determined by the Coco-Nutz, the total number of hours must be more than the number of people on the order times the hours required for early purchase.
​
Example: If you have 3 people on your order and 4 Volunteer Parrot Hours are required for early purchase, the TOTAL must be 12 Volunteer Parrot Hours or more. This can be 3 people with 4 hours each, 1 person with 8 hours and 1 with 4 hours or any combination as long as the total is 12 hours or more.
