President’s Notes, February 2018

Hey ya’ll, February is almost gone and hopefully it will continue to take the bad weather with it! However, kudos to those who weathered the storm and attended our chilly February Phlocking…proof that Tuff Birds can have a grand time no matter if it is cold in the South!  No worries, Spring is on the way and brings with it the promise of warmer weather and beautiful days ahead.  Just like Spring, our amazing Club promises a new year full of wonderful events and opportunities to serve, some are new, some are returning annuals.

Start celebrating Spring at our March 2 Phlocking entitled “Spring has Sprung.” Next,  you can join us at our St. Patrick’s Day Booth at the fabulous Emerald Isle St. Patrick’s Day Festival on March 17.  Come join the Phlock working and playing at its best!  More details of these events and others are found on this website!  As always you are invited to attend and participate in all of our events.

Good times are promised as we continue to “Party with a purpose!”  See you at the next phlocking.  Jan Hicks

PHantastic February PHlocking

What a great night despite the cold weather! Some us showed out hopeful for early Spring… but most of us were bundled up, waiting out winter.

Matt at Eclub provided some hearty vittles, while DJ Robbie was blasting some great tunes! Thanks to our hosts, Moh Traini and Rose Gerrell, Parrotheads raised $222 (how appropriate for the date) for the Do It For Drew foundation. We welcome the New Members that joined and are excited to see our club continue to grow!
