Christmas Parade float committee/planning
The EI Christmas Parade is right around the corner and we have a lot of planning to do.
The parade is always held the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Since Erin and Kelley are busy launching their new art studio and traveling all over to craft fairs, they won’t be able to be our project directors this year (still hoping they will be our consultants…..). Jeannine Patane has stepped up and will be large and in charge but we need a lot of help. There will be a planning session in October (date to be determined) and we will have a sign up sheet available at the PHlocking. Once a core group decides this year’s theme (suggestions welcome and we will have an ideas sheet at the PHlocking this week) we will set up a work schedule. No qualifications necessary as we are a bit like organized chaos. We usually build it at Stone’s End (Ken and Sue Stone’s backyard) for about 6 weeks of a few weekend afternoons . You don’t have to be there every date, we get people who come and go who love to have fun, eat and drink, do a bit of painting and cutting of card board. If you haven’t joined us before, please consider it. A great way to get to know your fellow Parrot Heads (and we always seem to win cause it always turns out awesome) If you think you can help “lead” the group on some part of the float building, please email me at stonesend@gmail.com . We have a history of being one of the best floats and when we win (not if) we donate the prize money to a charity.

Family Pirate Day at the Western Carteret Public Library
The friends of the library sent us this message, and as we have in the past we are hoping to help them out with some “pirate” volunteers this year:
Good morning, Sue,
The Friends of the Library are, once again, having a Family Pirate Day for the kids in our area. We would love it if some fun-loving ParrotHeads would be interested in volunteering for a couple hours that day and help children complete their scavenger hunts for pirate treasure. Pirate Day will be Saturday, September 26, 10:00am-2:00pm at the Western Carteret Public Library. Helpers are encouraged, but not required, to dress in pirate-ish clothing.
I hope this gives you enough time to get the word out to your Phlock. (I’m tempted to add “if you choose to accept this assignment.” I’ve seen too many Mission Impossible movies.) And thank you, thank you for your help in the past. It would be great to have some ParrotHeads as part of our scurvy crew this year.

Helping the Domestic Violence Program
A week or so ago, I sent out a note about the Domestic Violence Program and the fact that they were full to capacity and running out of lots of items and I included the list of items PHolks could donate.
The PH Board has decided to help them with a bit of cash to help them get the items they need. The Club will pledge up to $300 as a MATCH to individual Parrot Head donations. Right now several PH Board members have pledged a total of $125. If you would like to get the club to donate a total of $300, let me know your pledge and get the money or check to me no later than Friday, August 28th. If you let me know what you plan to donate, the Club can get the check to them even sooner and send the individual donations a little later. You can mail me the checks at 9701 Ashley Place, Emerald Isle 28594. Make checks out to Carteret County Domestic Violence Program. Thanks for all your help on this.

Happy 30th Anniversary Parrot Heads! 1985-2015
30 years ago today … June 28, 1985 in Cincinnati, Ohio during the “Sleepless Knights Tour” at the Timberwolf Amphitheater (Kings Island). Jimmy Buffett commented that the fans who were returning each year in costumes were reminiscent of Deadheads. Timothy B. Schmit (who also played bass for the Eagles) replied, “yea Jimmy, Parrotheads”. Jimmy repeated it to the crowd… and the rest is history.
