“PHOR OUR PHLOCKING PHRIENDS” – 1ST PLACE
“CHANGES IN LATITUDES, CHANGES IN ATTITUDES”
Listening to Jimmy’s music always makes me happier because his attitude toward love and life are positive. His thoughts are filled with “visions of good times that brought so much pleasure… dreams of the ocean and islands…and sailin’ again! He believes “It takes no more time to see the good side of life than the bad.”
How’s your attitude today? What dwells in your mind? Did you choose to fill it with the good things in life? Are you showing a cheerful heart by your actions? I read somewhere that your smiles and hugs won’t ever get you far unless you have a good attitude to go with them! The Parrot Head life follows Buffett’s style and chooses to look at the bright side of life. As we party with a purpose, we work together to support a wide range of charities, promote involvement in community activities and have PHun visiting our old PHriends and making new ones. We strive to make this world a better place now and for our future!
Here are a few tips on “changes in attitudes.” Be thankful, treat yourself to something special every day, avoid drama, crack more jokes, listen to your favorite music, and join the Emerald Isle Parrot Head Club at www.emeraldisleparrotheads.com. You can also join if you come out and rock with us at the May 7 PHlocking, celebrating the 80’s, beginning at 7 p.m. at the E-Club, Emerald Isle, NC! Be sure to look for me, I’ll be looking for you! Fins up! Jan H, President
Wow, we can finally see the sunshine for days at a time, go to the beach, sit outside without jackets, sleep with the windows open, enjoy the beautiful flowers and everything else that comes with Spring. This season also brings with it new fun and exciting events hosted by our club starting with a Scavenger Hunt in April, a Walk to End Alzheimer’s Challenge in May and a renewing of our regular monthly PHlockings beginning on May 7 at the E-Club. See our Newsletter for more information on these and other events.
Here’s wishing you a wonderful Easter with family and friends! Celebrate and be thankful of the time you have together! I’m looking forward to seeing you soon. Fins Up! Jan H. President
I’m happy to report that the Annual Membership Meeting went very well! Thanks to all who attended. We welcomed the new 2021 Board and planned a fun-filled 2021 calendar of events. As a result, some of the events are familiar and several of our favorites are revised. This will be one of our best years yet and I couldn’t wait to share it. Although I don’t have all the details yet, they will follow on our website and on Facebook. In addition, check your Monthly Newsletters for the latest updates.

We’re still here! It’s the end of February and the beginning of March which promises Spring and warmer weather! Lyrics from Jimmy tell us to “Pick up the Pieces, Hit the Road Again. The World is What You Make it.” That’s exactly what EIPHC is going to do! I’m so excited about the events coming up! But first, if you haven’t registered for the “Phluff the Phlock” zoom meeting, STOP what you’re doing and do it now! Registration is found on our website at www.emeraldisleparrotheads.com in the menu. You must register by March 1 to be a part of the planning on March 7 and to learn what great things are headed your way in 2021!
Please review carefully the events found in your March Newsletter and mark your calendars! Come join us for our first Phlocking of the year on Sunday, March 21 from 3 to 5 pm at the E-Club. Note that it is scheduled at a different date and time than our usual monthly phlockings, However, it guarantees a great time of phun phellowship with plenty of room to safely distance outside. In addition, the phlocking serves as a food drive for Martha’s Mission either by your attendance or drive-by. Get out your prized baseball gear and I’ll see you at the “SWING INTO SPRING FOOD DRIVE.” Can’t wait to “Party with a Purpose,” with YOU!!! Jan H., Pres.
