President’s Notes, December 2020

Article

“BIRDS OF A PHEATHER PHLOCK TOGETHER!” That’s what we do under normal (whatever that is) circumstances.  We share common interests for the island lifestyle, partying with a purpose, and working together to improve our surroundings. This past year has been difficult and frustrating! We canceled nearly all events and were forced to hold our monthly PHlockings virtually, which were few and far between!

But guess what?  WE’RE STILL HERE! Nothing could prove this any better than the 2020 Island Santa Bar Crawl and its huge success. We defied all odds and worked together as a PHlock to provide many wishes for Make-A-Wish, ENC and the wish kids of Carteret County! Our perseverance paid off!

So, I say “Bring it on 2021!”  We will remain hopeful and do what we can do, not what we can’t.  We’ll continue to search for what is meaningful and good and be involved in making our world a little better than the way we found it! And finally, when allowed to PHlock, and actually hug and see each other’s smiling faces, we’ll celebrate life and love with one ‘Helluva’ Party! Happy New Year ya’ll with your PHins up! Jan H. President

Here comes Santa Crawl, here comes Santa Crawl

Right down Santa Crawl Lane

Dinners and parties for Phamilies and Phriends

While Parrot Heads entertain.

 

This Christmas Cheer gives Wish Kids here

A chance for dreams to come true,

Donate your gift, be glad you did

Cause it all begins with YOU!

 Click here: Donation to Make-a-Wish (Island Santa Bar Crawl) | Emerald Isle Parrothead Club (emeraldisleparrotheads.com) or visit our website and click in the menu Donation to Make-A-Wish.

While the songwriting should be left to Jimmy, I hope my message is loud and clear. We are thankful to have several Parrot Heads hosting their own events with Phriends and Phamilies online and off to raise money for Make-A-Wish, ENC. However, if you are not already involved,  you too have the opportunity to make a tremendous difference in the lives of our Carteret County  Wish Kids by contributing as little as $5 or $10 to this worthy cause. Our club is over 350 strong.  Together we can make this 2020 Island Santa Bar Crawl the best yet!  Learn more about the Crawl held from December 4 through December 13,  by visiting our website at www.emeraldisleparrotheads.com.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a joyful Happy New Year! May your days be filled with calm seas and picture-perfect sunsets as reminders of what a wonderful world this can be! Phins Up! Jan H.
