LET’S CELEBRATE DEM FANNIES!

Join us March 6th at 7:00 PM at the Emerald Club to pay homage to the ORIGINAL fanny pack!!! March 11th is INTERNATIONAL FANNY PACK DAY worldwide, and lots of us experienced the accessory’s rise to glory in the 80’s. Known now by many names; BELT BAG, CROSSBODY, BELLY POUCH, etc., this iconic garb has survived over 4 decades of trends and fads.

So buckle up and come play some games, donate to 50/50, and socialize with the Phlock. The evening’s Phun will benefit the The We Can Be Association. It is a 501(c)3 charitable organization that provides funding for equipment, therapy, and out of pocket medical expenses for children and their families in Eastern North Carolina. Originally discovered by club members attending the New Bern Mardi Gras parade. Their organization uses funds to provide adaptive bicycles and trailers for special needs people. It was an amazing group to see and meet!
