The PHIP Board has prioritized improvements in communication and connectedness among Parrot Heads. As a loose affiliation of independently operating chapters, it’s always been a struggle for the nation to unite and for Parrot Heads to get news and information about concerts, events, fundraisers and about their fellow parrot heads. Today, the PHIP Board is thrilled to announce the formation of a partnership with TritonApp, LLC, a Parrot Head-owned and Parrot Head-friendly company that is about to help connect Parrot Heads as we’ve never been connected before!

No need to wait! Go now to your App Store and download TritonApp, and register using your email and type in “PARROTHEADS” (all caps!) when it asks you for a company name. You’ll verify with a text code, and you’ll be up and running, with access to PHIP and MOTM social media and website, and lots, lots more.
The app will be especially useful for those attending MOTM, since you’ll have up-to-the-minute news and information at your fingertips.

BOO!!! Happy Halloween! Get ready for everything “Make Believe!” Guess that’s why I love this holiday! It’s a time when grown-ups and kids are out and about attending trunk-a-treats, costume contests, and Halloween parties! We all get to act and look silly, although most of us don’t need a reason! Watch out for the Princess and the Prince, the Goblins and Witches, and many of our favorite storybook characters! Stay safe and have a great time whatever your plans are!

After Halloween is over, please be sure to visit our website www.emeraldisleparrotheads.com and our Facebook Page, Emerald Isle Parrot Head Club, to view many more “Treats!” These events are open to the public.  If you like dressing up, you can register on our WEBSITE, UNDER THE MENU entitled “Register for Santa Crawl and Buy T-shirts in the Shop.”  Be sure to read the current Newsletter for additional information!

Hello my phriends! As I write,  I am experiencing memories of our past storms because Hurricane Ian is all over the news.  My memories are good and bad, happy and sad, but mostly thankful for the way everyone in our community, our family, friends, neighbors, businesses and charities worked together to reach out and help each other in so many wonderful ways toward restoration. My thoughts are also with those who are in Ian’s path and pray for their safety! Our club stands ready to send aid to help others that may be affected.

In the meantime, this too shall pass, and we will once again look forward to the many events we have planned to finish out our year.  Be sure to check out our Newsletter and our calendar of events found on www.emeraldisleparrotheads.com and the Emerald Isle Parrot Head Facebook page.  Stay safe all! See you soon! Phins up! Jan Hicks, Pres.

Who is Jane Slagsvol? She’s the wife of Jimmy Buffett! She recently celebrated her 45th anniversary of marriage to him. The idea of living with Jimmy through his early years until now seems impossible. However, like many marriages, they survived the hard times, stayed together, and now enjoy “the good life!” Jane supported Jimmy throughout his career by her encouragement, support, and attendance at nearly every event. It is said that Jimmy wrote the song “Come Monday” for her while he was stuck in a motel on tour and lonely! It is great to know that the love and respect they share for each other is real. Congratulations to them both! Happy Anniversary!

We have a lot to talk about in the next few months. Labor Day weekend is now and comes loaded with music, Coast is Clear Party is about here, the “Tu-tus for Ta-tas” Walk is coming up soon, and our annual Island Santa Bar Crawl fundraiser is right around the corner. That means you need to get on our website at www.emeraldisleparrotheads.com and The Emerald Isle Parrot Head Club Facebook page and check the dates for these fabulous events and then SHOW UP! You don’t want to miss the PHUN stuff! We hope to see you at our next event. They are all open to the public so if you are not yet a Parrot Head, you are invited to attend. As always, you can join our club at the monthly phlockings or online at our website! PHINS UP YA’ll! Jan Hicks, Pres.
