President’s Notes, May 2022

Article

I’m writing this on May 30, which is a very special day!  First, we celebrate Memorial Day and honor those who have died in the military service for the U.S. Each year we look forward to a whole weekend of barbecues, beach trips and other outdoor activities! Second, it’s my anniversary and I look forward to enjoying time spent with my best friend and dear husband, James! He is always here for me and supports all, well most, of my whacky projects! Serving the Parrot Heads is #1!

Anyway, this year also marks the 20th anniversary of EIPHC!  It’s hard to believe! Through the years, everyone involved in this club and its adventures have benefited greatly! Our phlock is definitely “one of a kind.” We spend 100’s of hours in support and earn 1000’s of dollars in contributions,  as a result each year from our membership and supporters.  We are so fortunate to live in a community that “gives back” and then “gives some more!” The true meaning of “Party with a Purpose” is evident in all that we do!

This year will be the best yet!  I can’t wait to see what happens next! Visit www.emeraldisleparrotheads for further updates. Fins up!  Jan H., Prez

WHO NEEDS A BREAK?

There are times when we all need to get away and seek mind and body relief from stress! The cause is job related, family related, or working hard to meet daily commitments! Whatever the source, we find ourselves “burned out” in our daily lives. Can we fix it?

A vacation or staycation can help! Did you know that just getting away from your daily routine for a while can improve your physical complaints, your mood, motivation, relationships, and even your job performance? If you can, it is time to give yourself a break! Try a vacation or staycation!

And while you are at it, what better way to get away from it all than to join the Emerald Isle Parrot Head Club? You do not have to be local. Many members come down once or twice a year just to take part in our “infamous” yearly charity events! Our club membership is only $10 and a great investment! We specialize in “escapism” and our motto is to “Party with a Purpose!” That simply means there is always a party and always support for local charities, our community, and our environment through financial donations and hundreds of volunteer hours every year!

Lastly, do you enjoy a delicious Margarita, or an ice-cold beer, and great food that’s free? You can find all of this, while rocking to local music every first Friday, at the Emerald-Club, Emerald Ise, NC, at our monthly “Phlocking!” Next one is Friday, May 6, beginning at 7pm. Become a member at any Phlocking, or join online and find out more at www.emeraldisleparrotheads.com! Come sail away with us, enjoy the salty air, and let the waves wipe away your worries! Phins up ya’ll! Jan H. Pres.
