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.
President’s Notes, January 2022
HOW IS YOUR TIME SPENT? Most of you are busy working, taking care of family, cleaning the house, buying groceries, running errands, filling up every minute of your day. We all have the same 24 hours to spend and yet we all spend those hours differently. Time is different than anything else. We can buy a thing, and when we lose it, we can buy it back. Not time! When it is gone, we have lost it forever. That makes every minute we have here so very valuable!
Let’s admit it, some days we need to just sit or lay on the couch and “pig” out on our favorite snacks! While there is nothing wrong with that, it’s not very productive and the “bliss” is short lived! In summary, we need to have some relaxation, productivity and big time PHUN added to our lives!
The Emerald Isle Parrot Head Club offers you a great alternative to your daily routine. We consciously make the “laid back” time we spend together valuable and productive! It is our desire to celebrate “escapism to the island life” even if some of us don’t live on an island! When we “party with a purpose,” we affect the lives of many through our contributions to charities, our dedication to beautifying and cleaning up our surroundings, our willingness to give “a helping hand” to those who need it, and our heart-felt desire to “give back.”
This is your time, spend it wisely! Make it a point to renew your membership, or join us as a new member online, by mail or at the next Phlocking! Don’t waste your time thinking about it. JUST DO IT! We want to spend our time with YOU this year! Phins up y’all! Jan H., President
