EIPHC presents “HOPE WALL 2021”

In lieu of our annual Tutus for Tatas walk, our club will be displaying decorated “In Honor/ Memory of” pink ribbons publicly October 2nd-11th on our specially designed HOPE WALL. The wall will be presented at our October 1st Phlocking. Then it will be moved and displayed outside the Movement Mortgage office at K and V Plaza. The ribbons will be available at our monthly Phlocking October 1st at Eclub. We are asking a $5 donation for each ribbon. They can be left blank, personalized, or decorated with bling. For those who would like to attend, we will have an official “Pinning Ceremony” outside at Movement Mortgage October 9th at 11:00 AM. Ribbons can also be purchased and pinned at the ceremony or privately pinned anytime between October 2nd-11th while the Wall is on display. For more information email Jessi Holland at 4jhollands@gmail.com.

President’s Notes August 2021

We are facing a time that is full of  chaos and confusion. We send prayers to all who are in peril from events taking place all over the world.  Through this,  we’ll stay strong, stay positive and remain hopeful for a brighter day, a better time, and a new beginning.

This morning, while on my porch, the sun rose in its majestic beauty , a gentle breeze played against my face, a tiny green hummingbird happily zoomed by, and my hibiscus showed off its 4 giant ruby red blossoms.  Each of these things validated for me that even in hard times, Life is Good.

Likewise, EIPHC will strive to make our events and surroundings as good as they can be through the times we have together.  It starts Labor Day weekend with Rick Lamb and The Phin Addicts.  We are fortunate to have Rick and his talented and seasoned group of musicians come and spend time with us! They have entertained Parrot Head groups and Trop Rock fans from coast to coast and internationally since 2007.  Scott Nickerson, a life long musician and founder of the Atlanta Parrot Head Club, as well as the non-profit organization, Parrot Heads in Paradise, is also joining Rick as a member of the band!  We are guaranteed an outstanding trop rock experience! “Life is Good” when you Party with a Purpose!

President’s Notes July 2021

THANK YOU NOTE!

A big whopping “Thank You” and “Couldn’t do it without you” goes to our valued volunteers! This note is dedicated directly to YOU.  The EIPHC Board each year spends endless hours planning and working to make our dreams come true.  All members on the Board take their jobs seriously and represent the backbone of this club!

Big Birds are amazing as they plan and manage the monthly Phlockings. Some Big Birds become famous for strategically organizing our marvelous yearly events. Now, take a moment to think about those serving on committees, peddling T-shirts and raffle tickets, soliciting for donations and sponsors, working with vendors, providing and distributing media, developing and maintaining technical support, registering participants, being card sharks and Santa helpers, making floats, cleaning up highways and community projects and the list goes on and on and on!

Please keep this “Thank You Note” in mind as you attend our events. When you see volunteers doing their thing, stop and thank them. Let them know that we appreciate their smiles, enthusiasm. and hard work! Ask them how you can become a volunteer too! Even with no pay, it’s a great job!

I’ll see you guys Friday, August 6, at our Phlocking to celebrate the 19th year anniversary of EIPHC and then again Saturday, August 7, at our 17th Beach Bike Poker Run! Can’t wait! Visit our website www.emeraldisleparrotheads.com for details. Fins Up! Jan H. President
