The club is busy making plans for our Parrot Head Club Anniversary Weekend, August 7-9. Everyone should be looking for a fun weekend with a Phirst Phriday PHlocking on Friday (Aug. 7th) followed by our Anniversary Island Party (August 9th) out on Pelican Island. Parrot Heads and friends will arrive by boat, kayak, canoe, or other(?) for a fun day in the sun and water with games, grllin’ & chillin’, and music by Dicky Scearce & Jack Ketner (A.K.A Scared of Kittens). 
After the party was postponed last year because of bad weather and then cancelled because of more bad weather, we expect that the Phlock will be ready to party twice as hard and enjoy the anniversary weekend. Look for more information coming soon here on the website and on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter.

Parrot Heads Participate to support Alzheimer’s Association
On 6/20, the Summer Solstice, the Emerald Isle Parrot Head Club (EIPHC) joined forces with the Emerald Isle Turtle Protection Organization in support of the North Carolina Alzheimers Association’s Longest Day fund raiser.
Under the organization of EIPHC member, Susan Smith, who is also the state’s Alzheimers 
Ambassador, 29 Parrot Heads walked the EI beach from sunrise to sunset raising money and awareness for this devastating disease. Some participants raised their own sponsorships, while our club also pitched in $10 per member for their efforts!
EIPHC members comprised almost half the total walkers! Hopefully we can do it again next year.

Report from the July 3rd Phlocking
Parrot Heads do it again with a great time had by all. Renee and her helpers hosted Christmas in July PHlocking at the E-Club to benefit the Animal Shelter. We had a good turnout of folks who braved the heat and the threat of rain. Flannery (her dog) watched over the goodies everyone brought for the Shelter; lots of dog and cat food and other assorted stuff! The 50/50 raffle netted $80 to help the shelter. Thanks for all the hard work Renee and thanks to all who contributed. Party with a Purpose once again!

They also prefer Purina (Dog-chow, Puppy-chow, Cat-chow, Kitty-chow) brand foods.

Cinco de Mayo Phlash Phlocking
We had some inquiries about what was happening for Cinco De Mayo and since we weren’t really aware of anything specific, we decided to make our own fun event.
So 7:00 PM tomorrow May 5th, let us gather at Carolina Wine Mixer at the Emerald Plantation Shopping Center. It is opposite Highway 55 Burgers & next to Rucker Johns. They have wine and beer (maybe some Mexican ones). So see you there for a last minute PHlash PHlocking!
And as Speedy Gonzales says “¡Ándale! ¡Ándale! ¡Arriba! ¡Arriba! ¡Epa! ¡Epa! ¡Epa! Yeehaw!”
