Each Emerald Isle Parrothead club member has a profile on our web site, which previously has been maintained by the club’s secretaries.Now we have added a feature that permits members to maintain their own personal profiles. All a member needs to do is go to the EIPHC web site  ( emeraldisleparrotheads.com); then on the top menu bar, mouse over onto the “Membership” option; then in the drop down window that appears, click on the option “Membership – Retrieve Account Link”; and you will get an email with your personalized data link that will take you to your individual member profile. There, you can maintain your own profile,  including adding your picture and  your interests and hobbies.  When you are finished with your updates, click on the “save” button and you are done.
