President’s Notes October 2021
PHAVORITE TIME OF YEAR!
We love the beach all year round, but there is really something special about it this time of year. We are grateful for the reduction of boat and car traffic and less wait lines. The mornings are cooler, the days are mostly warm, and the nights are better with the windows up. We’re surrounded by cookouts, festivals, fishing tournaments and charity walk/run events. There’s plenty to do outside and EIPHC is adding to the PHun this PHall!
We’ll be celebrating the “comeback” of the EI Christmas Parade on November 27, and will be putting together a float, gathering a bunch of parade participants and collecting candy for tossing. Next, comes our second annual fundraiser, fondly known as the Island Santa Bar Crawl. We are excited about several new and fun ways to enjoy the 2-day event on December 4 and December 5. So, PHluff up your PHeathers, get ready to PHlock, and we’ll see you at our November 5 PHlocking. Stay updated by visiting our website at www.emeraldisleparrotheads.com. PHINS UP YA’LL and HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Jan H., President
“LET’S RAISE THE WOOF” Phlocking
Friday, November 5, 7:00 pm, Emerald Club
Let’s celebrate our favorite pets! Wear a picture of your most loved pet(s) pinned, taped, glued or stapled to your shirt, hat or pants! Dog and cat fur is welcomed too! You don’t have to own the pet, but you do have to love it! Maybe you’re its grandparent, aunt, uncle, or neighbor. Doesn’t matter, just have phun with it!
The 50/50 raffle will support Misplaced Mutts, a non-profit volunteer-based organization, dedicated to rescuing dogs and cats in shelters and less than ideal home situations. They are based out of our own Carteret County and operate through a network of foster homes. We would also like to ask for donations of new dog toys, new or clean used towels and beds, and cat and dog food. Any brand is appreciated, but mostly they use “4 Health Adult & Puppy” from Tractors Supply and “Purina One” or “Proplan” for cats. All donations will be delivered the next day!
So, doggonit, strut on out and have a purr-fectly good time while you paws with fellow Parrot Heads and admire their 4-legged friends. Also, a big “shout out” to Matt at the E-Club for providing free food and live music. Hope to see you there!
