Let’s celebrate the joy of having loved ones! In their honor, RED Day means you need to wear your favorite red and white (pink will work also). Cover your body from head to toe or just one item will do, but be ready to pay a price if you don’t have red or pink displayed and receive a reward if you do! Our DJ Rob will have a variety of tunes (sprinkled with love songs) to treat us. There will be a game for those of you who love a challenge and our usual 50/50 raffle. And of course, you can’t celebrate having a valentine(s) without something sweet on hand! So, to celebrate further we need a table/buffet full of cookies/sweets from your favorite recipe. For those of you who would like to contribute, please contact me (Jan) at janhicks2014@gmail.com , or just bring it to the event! The E Club will be serving wings to compliment! Bring your sweetheart, loved one, family or friend and celebrate with us! Xoxo!

Coffee and conversation at Stir It Up.
Parrot heads having fun at the Plash Phlocking.
Phlash Phlocking at Stir It Up – Saturday, January 24th
WHAT: The Phirst Phlash Phlocking of 2015
WHERE: Stir It Up coffee shop (Emerald Plantation Coffee Shop, 8700 Emerald Drive, Emerald Isle, NC 28594)
WHEN: Saturday morning Jan. 24th at 10:00 AM ish
WHO All Parrot Heads and Phriends
WHY: Because Stir It Up has proven to be a Phriend of the Parrot Heads and “Why the Heck Not?”
See you all there for a beverage, whether hot or cold, and possibly one of their tasty pastries or desserts. Bring your own flask if you want to spice things up!
First “Phirst Phriday Phlocking” of 2015
Come hang out at the January Phlocking this Friday at the E-Club as usual. Convening at 7PM we can share Christmas and New year’s Eve stories. I’m sure there will be laughs and leftover holiday cheer! DJ Robbie Jones will be spinning some tunes, free food buffet as usual, and some beer specials. Remember to bring some cash to pay your dues (still an inexpensive $10 annually) for 2015; this allows us to update our rolls for reporting membership to national and we won’t have to keep bugging you, haha. We look forward to seeing everyone there, have a Happy New Years celebration and everyone be safe.
Parade Winnings donated to Hannah’s Hope
Our parade winnings of $250 were donated to Hannah’s Hope. They were so grateful for the donation as they just received their non profit 501c3 status. The money they raise for their new organization goes to needy children. Since Kelley and Erin were the “big birds” (organizers) of the parade float, we asked them to pick the charity. Erin and Kelley table at Salty Air Market in the summer and so know the family and their story well. We will try to follow what they do with their organization for the future. They are still selling Christmas trees at the Salty Air Market in Cedar Point, $5 from each tree goes towards Hannah’s Hope. Renee now has $680 from Parrot Head donations that she and her elves will use to shop for 5 needy families. What a generous group of folks we have! Merry Christmas all.
December Phlocking/Christmas Party
Great PHlocking on the 5th, got to see a lot of folks we had not seen in a bit. We raised $543 for the needy families that will be shopped for by Renee and her elves. Thanks so much for being such generous Parrot Heads. The ugly sweaters were awesome. Three finalists, Tara, Marsha and Clyde pictured here. Merry Christmas all and you helped make a better Christmas for 5 families.
The “S.S. Parrot Head” takes first prize!
The SS Parrot Head took first place in the Non-Profits in the Emerald Isle Parade on Nov. 29th. There was lots of fun and good food at numerous work parties to build our cruise ship all fall. Special thanks to Kelly and Erin for their vision, and planning and organizing things. Our $250 prize will be donated to a brand new non profit 501c3 Hannah’s Hope that will provide all kinds of help to underprivileged kids in our area.
DIVAS Run For the Roses 1Mile
This Event was a great success! Thank you to all those who came out to support us and have some fun too! Check out the Diva Pics on the EIPHC Flickr site.
Original Post
Wear Pink! Run, Walk, Bike, Crawl…..for a great cause! The Parrot Heads are bringing awareness to our fight against cancer by preparing and selling canned apple butter on Saturday, October 4, at Flipperz. That process will take most of the day and we thought it would be fun to hold other events during the time that we are there. So, we came up with a “DIVAS Run for the Roses.”
Now ya’ll know we all can’t run so we will allow running, walking, crawling, whatever it takes for you to complete ONLY ONE MILE! That’s right…one mile! This will be a “glam” run/walk with Tiaras, Boas, Tutus or whatever bling you come up with to get attention. We start at Flipperz at 10AM, will have a water station and cheerleaders halfway (hopefully at the E Club) and finish back at Flipperz for a big celebration! All contestants finishing the race will receive a rose and a glass of bubbly(champagne). There will also be medals for various categories! The registration fee is only $5.
