New to the phlock? Here's a guide to the language we speak in paradise. Flip through the cards to learn our ways.
Beach Cleanups
Hover to Learn
At least once a quarter the club goes to a local beach (set up by our Environmental Chair and the organization – usually the county) and spend a couple hours cleaning it up, and then we celebrate with a BBQ or by meeting at a local watering hole.
Birthday Bash
Hover to Learn
We were “Born” in 1996, and every year we hold a weekend-long Birthday Bash, in May or June, with the proceeds going to our environmental charities. Held at a hotel, there is poolside music all day and a big dance party at night, and lots of games, contests, raffles, and merriment. The party of the year!
