December Phlocking – December 1, 2017

It’s hard to believe that December is upon us and it’s time to unpack those fun Christmas sweaters and head out for holiday parties. We hope that you will start your December fun with us on Friday, December 1st from 7:00-9:00 pm at the E-Club. This party will be special since Barefoot Wade will be joining us and providing music for the evening. Matt and the E-Club will be providing free food and some great drink specials. We’ll be raising money for domestic violence with our 50/50 drawing and I’m pretty sure there will be a prize for the “BEST” Christmas sweater or attire. We’ll also be celebrating our REPEAT 1st place victory in the EI Christmas Parade for Non-Profits. Come on out and be a part of the best “Party with a Purpose” Group in Emerald Isle!! See ya there……
