EIPHC presents “HOPE WALL 2021”

In lieu of our annual Tutus for Tatas walk, our club will be displaying decorated “In Honor/ Memory of” pink ribbons publicly October 2nd-11th on our specially designed HOPE WALL. The wall will be presented at our October 1st Phlocking. Then it will be moved and displayed outside the Movement Mortgage office at K and V Plaza. The ribbons will be available at our monthly Phlocking October 1st at Eclub. We are asking a $5 donation for each ribbon. They can be left blank, personalized, or decorated with bling. For those who would like to attend, we will have an official “Pinning Ceremony” outside at Movement Mortgage October 9th at 11:00 AM. Ribbons can also be purchased and pinned at the ceremony or privately pinned anytime between October 2nd-11th while the Wall is on display. For more information email Jessi Holland at 4jhollands@gmail.com.

Deck out in head bands, scarves, and peace signs.  Matt will provide the phun with food, live music, and special drinks at the E-Club.  AND, to symbolize our “Flower Power,” all proceeds from the 50/50 raffle will be used to  cover expenses related to our newest community project!
