“Flower Power” promotes the idea of “peace and love” as a means of changing the world! “Parrot Heads” do too! Express your “Flower Power” at our June Phlocking with “flowers in your hair, flowers everywhere!” Pull out those tube tops, tye-dye shirts, and bright floral dresses! Deck out in head bands, scarves, and peace signs. Matt will provide the phun with food, live music, and special drinks at the E-Club. AND, to symbolize our “Flower Power,” all proceeds from the 50/50 raffle will be used to cover expenses related to our newest community project! Sign up at the phlocking and work with James, Carol & Cris the following morning, June 5, at 10:00 on “Beautification Day.” We’ll be cleaning up and planting flowers in the gardens of the tiny “Butterfly Park” located in front of the water tower at the poiice station on Emerald Isle. “Let’s Party Like it’s 1969!”
President’s Notes May 2021
What is a Parrot Head and why be one? When you hear the word Parrot Head, do you automatically think of Jimmy Buffett and his fans? Sure you do, but there is so much more to it than attending a concert or listening to his songs with a Margarita in your hand!
Over several decades, Parrot Heads have grown to tens of thousands of pholks, established individual clubs all over the world and discovered phun places to phlock! They symbolize a love of the lifestyle that Buffett sings about and a desire to kick back whenever and wherever possible with good music, good phriends, and good drinks! Newcomers are welcome, even if they have limited knowledge of Jimmy Buffett’s music! It is well known that Parrot Heads make strangers into phriends!
They are also known for their parties, but they work hard too, in the form of community service, charitable contributions, and many other phun yet community-based projects. Even though they are laid back and usually enjoy a drink, they are also environmentally and culturally aware and do their best to give back to society! Because of their strength in numbers and generosity, they donate thousands of dollars and manpower hours every year!
There’s much more to learn about Parrot Heads and the best way to learn is to be one! Come join us at our June 4 Phlocking at the E-Club at 7pm and learn for yourself how to “Party with a Purpose!” See you there! Jan H, President

President’s Notes April 2021
“CHANGES IN LATITUDES, CHANGES IN ATTITUDES”
Listening to Jimmy’s music always makes me happier because his attitude toward love and life are positive. His thoughts are filled with “visions of good times that brought so much pleasure… dreams of the ocean and islands…and sailin’ again! He believes “It takes no more time to see the good side of life than the bad.”
How’s your attitude today? What dwells in your mind? Did you choose to fill it with the good things in life? Are you showing a cheerful heart by your actions? I read somewhere that your smiles and hugs won’t ever get you far unless you have a good attitude to go with them! The Parrot Head life follows Buffett’s style and chooses to look at the bright side of life. As we party with a purpose, we work together to support a wide range of charities, promote involvement in community activities and have PHun visiting our old PHriends and making new ones. We strive to make this world a better place now and for our future!
Here are a few tips on “changes in attitudes.” Be thankful, treat yourself to something special every day, avoid drama, crack more jokes, listen to your favorite music, and join the Emerald Isle Parrot Head Club at www.emeraldisleparrotheads.com. You can also join if you come out and rock with us at the May 7 PHlocking, celebrating the 80’s, beginning at 7 p.m. at the E-Club, Emerald Isle, NC! Be sure to look for me, I’ll be looking for you! Fins up! Jan H, President
