Well 2015 was one of the great Parrot Head parties but that was only the 24^th Annual Meeting of the Minds! 2016 WILL be a great year in sunny Key West come November! I know November seems so long away BUT I want to give you several great reasons to go ahead and register early for MOTM. First! Remember we close out our MOTM registration at 3,500 or by September 15th, whichever comes first. I also want you to book a room at the Casa Marina as we need to fill every room at the Casa Marina! I also do not want you to miss out if you want to stay at the Casa Marina! SO we are going to give you some awesome incentives for not putting off registration or your room reservations for 2016! Here we go, read on.

December Phlocking, Friday, December 4 at 7:00

December 3, 2015UncategorizedJoel Dunn

Come join us for some holiday fun at the Emerald Club. DJ Robbie Jones will be cranking out the tunes, a few games coming your way to help all your Parrot Head friends kick off the “Season”. There will be some free food provided by the Emerald Club but we encourage you to bring a little Christmas munchie to round out the eats. This year instead of Toys for Tots we are collecting much needed items for the Carteret County Domestic Violence Program and Family Promise of Carteret County as well as non perishable food items for the Hope Mission/Martha’s Cupboard Food Pantry. Choose one or all three. Get out you best red and green attire and help us party with a purpose!

Save bags to help with research!

October 12, 2015UncategorizedJoel Dunn

We recently received the following email request; let’s see if we can help Caitlin (one of our newer members) out with some supplies.

Hi Sue,

Can you send out an email asking PH’s to save paper grocery bags for me? Any bag will help. We’ll be using them to store some vegetation samples from our marsh field work. As funding is practically non existent for sea level rise studies (shocking! I know…) any donations of bags will be helpful for one less thing to spend our grant money on.

Thank you!

Caitlin Lauback

You can bring the bags you save to any Parrot Head event, or contact us at info@emeraldisleparrotheads.com if you have some bags for Caitlin.
