Hopefully, we will be meeting face to face by next summer. Until then stay healthy!

OVER $37,000 RAISED BY EIPHC 2020 ISLAND SANTA BAR CRAWL!

I am happy to announce that we will be contributing to Make-A-Wish, ENC, a  little over $37,000 to benefit wish kids of Carteret County.  I am sending a big hug and heartfelt thanks to all of you who helped make this event a huge success.  So many PHolks supported the auction with purchases, made donations, hosted private events and contributed lots of time and effort in many ways. I can’t thank you enough! I believe the hearts of everyone involved were touched when we all reconnected as a PHlock! There are very special kids that are going to be mighty happy as a result of our efforts.

Be on the lookout for additional pictures and announcements!  It’s awesome to have something great like this event to end the year.  Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all! Phins up! Jan H.,  President

Announcements, Article, Event

The Swansboro Rotary Club is collecting donations to fill a 58 ft. tractor trailer for victims in Alabama of the Cat 2 Hurricane.  The storm flooded neighborhoods, submerged homes, and left thousands without power. So many came from far away to help us out following Florence and this presents us with an opportunity to “give back.”  The donations will be shipped on Friday to Baldwin County, near Gulf Shores of Alabama.

Jason Holland of Movement Mortgage AT 309 MANGROVE DRIVE (K&V SHOPPING CTR) has volunteered his office for collection of the donated goods beginning today September 21 through Thursday at 12 noon.  All goods donated by EIPHC will be loaded and transferred  to the Rotary Club Thursday afternoon. Please be sure you bring your items before noon on Thursday, September 23.  Here is the list: Collections officials ask that water and clothes are NOT DONATED.

ITEMS THAT CAN BE DONATED AT MOVEMENT MORTAGE:  Peanut butter and Jelly, toothpaste, contractor bags, ziploc bags, diapers, tarps,  paper products, bug spray, button nails,  dog food, cat food, disinfectant supplies, baby wipes, paper towels, toilet paper, D and C batteries, flashlights.

Come on Parrot Heads, let’s spread the love….
