APRIL 1 PHLOCKING, EMERALD CLUB, EMERALD ISLE, NC

“BUFFETT IS BACK!”

Come Friday, it’s party time at the Emerald Club, Emerald Isle, NC beginning at 7pm. Wear your favorite Buffett attire. Let’s see some tropical hats, shirts, hula skirts, flip flops, flowers, beads, or anything else that reminds you of tailgating at the Buffett concerts! You may not be able to make it to Walnut Creek but you can join us for the next best thing! Live music, free food, 50/50 raffle and everything Buffett will be happening!  We’ll see you there for a phrolicking good time!

FEBRUARY 4 PHLOCKING, 7PM, EMERALD CLUB

The first Friday in February (February 4) is National Wear Red Day. On this day in February, which is considered American Heart Month, everyone across the country dons the color red in order to raise and spread awareness in hopes to help eradicate heart disease and stroke in millions of women. So put on your reddest red — whether it be a lipstick, a pair of pants, a shirt, or your favorite hat — and “party with a purpose” to stamp out heart disease in men and women everywhere! Food and music will be provided by Matt and a 50/50 will be held for the American Heart Fund, Eastern North Carolina.

“LET’S RAISE THE WOOF” Phlocking

Friday, November 5, 7:00 pm, Emerald Club
Let’s celebrate our favorite pets! Wear a picture of your most loved pet(s) pinned, taped, glued or stapled to your shirt, hat or pants! Dog and cat fur is welcomed too! You don’t have to own the pet, but you do have to love it! Maybe you’re its grandparent, aunt, uncle, or neighbor. Doesn’t matter, just have phun with it!
The 50/50 raffle will support Misplaced Mutts, a non-profit volunteer-based organization, dedicated to rescuing dogs and cats in shelters and less than ideal home situations. They are based out of our own Carteret County and operate through a network of foster homes. We would also like to ask for donations of new dog toys, new or clean used towels and beds, and cat and dog food. Any brand is appreciated, but mostly they use “4 Health Adult & Puppy” from Tractors Supply and “Purina One” or “Proplan” for cats. All donations will be delivered the next day!
So, doggonit, strut on out and have a purr-fectly good time while you paws with fellow Parrot Heads and admire their 4-legged friends. Also, a big “shout out” to Matt at the E-Club for providing free food and live music. Hope to see you there!

“FLOWER POWER” June 4 Phlocking, 7pm, E-Club

“Flower Power” promotes the idea of “peace and love” as a means of changing the world! “Parrot Heads” do too!  Express your “Flower Power” at our June Phlocking with “flowers in your hair, flowers everywhere!”  Pull out those tube tops, tye-dye shirts, and bright floral dresses! Deck out in head bands, scarves, and peace signs.  Matt will provide the phun with food, live music, and special drinks at the E-Club.  AND, to symbolize our “Flower Power,” all proceeds from the 50/50 raffle will be used to  cover expenses related to our newest community project! Sign up at the phlocking and work with James, Carol & Cris the following morning, June 5, at 10:00 on “Beautification Day.”  We’ll be cleaning up and planting flowers in the gardens of the tiny “Butterfly Park” located in front of the water tower at the poiice station on Emerald Isle. “Let’s Party Like it’s 1969!”

MAY 7 PHLOCKING “BACK TO THE 80’S” AT 7PM, E-CLUB

Remember these favorites: Madonna, Olivia Newton John, Elton John, Johnny Depp, Tom Petty, Cyndi Laupar and Michael Jackson? We’re going back to the 80’s with this Phlocking to celebrate this great decade! Wear your 80’s  best outfit.  Matt is going all out and providing an 80’s band so we can get down and boogie up. 

 Also, we will be kicking off the “Walk to End Alzheimer’s” Month, a big event for all Parrot Heads. Add bonus points with a splash of purple in your 80’s clothes to signify Alzheimer’s Month. Let’s once again “Party with a Purpose!” Thanks to Bonnie Forkey, our Big Bird for this event!
