Corporation Corner… March 2021

​The Corporation would like to wish everyone a Blessed and Spiritual journey this Lenten session. Remember it is not just what you give up, but what you change.

We again would like to thank everyone who has made donations of cleaning products, dish and hand soaps, cups, storage bags, paper towels, garbage bags as well as monetary donations. Our shelves are stocked quite nicely.

The Hall remains open Tuesday through Saturday 4PM to 8PM with last call at 7:30. We are continuing to follow all CDC guidelines and remind everyone to follow our rules to prevent the spread of Covid.

Be sure to check out what each of the Divisions have going on for their takeout events and support them. Stay Safe!

MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION PROCESS

  Membership in the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Inc. is confined to men 16 years and older who are practicing Roman Catholics of Irish birth or descent and who are citizens of United States of America or who have declared their intentions to become citizens of the United States of America.

  Associate memberships are also available to those who do not meet the aforementioned qualification.

   It is a standing rule that Applications for Membership that languish without action for longer than 6 months are discarded.
   Notifications for induction dates and times, through the Shamrock Degree, are sent to all applicants.
   Those who have applied prior to this 6 month period, and are serious about joining the A.O.H., need to reapply for admission and make arrangements to attend a Shamrock Degree ceremony within the next six month. 

  Those interested in membership must stop into the Hall to submit an application as they must have an active member sponsor them and sign the form.

Please check the Bartender Schedule page here for days and times the hall is open.

​ DUES

  Once again, I’d like to thank all the members who have paid their 2020 dues. Dues are $40 if paid after April 1st. After that they go up to $50. You can either drop your dues off at the hall (and have a drink) or mail a check  to the address above, made out to AOH and indicating "Dues" in the memo line.

  Arrears letters have been sent to all of you. We can no longer afford to carry the per capita and additional costs associated with members who choose not to pay their dues. These monies are needed to help with our charitable contributions and off set our operating costs. Your immediate attention is needed to bring your 2021 dues up-to-date. You will be deleted from our roster if payment is not received by the end of June. If anyone has difficulty paying their dues, please let us know as we take care of each other.

Also, let us know if you have an address change.

​​​​BROOME COUNTY LAOH JUNIORS… March 2021

Beannachtai!

  Coming to you from the Junior’s corner...the girls are beginning to work on their scrapbook pages. Upon completion they will be submitted to the NYS Convention and will be judged on content and artistic quality.
  We are looking to raise some “dough!” April 15th-April 29th the Juniors will be taking orders for delicious Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. They will be hot, fresh, and available for pick up at the AOH Hall on Saturday, May 1 . If anyone needs delivery, we are happy to do that as well. There will be a flyer with details to follow, however you can always email or text me if you are anxious to place an order sooner.
  The girls have planted a seed for a wonderful service project/community donation. When all plans have been finalized, we will be happy to share all the blossoming details!
  If any of our sisters and brothers know young ladies who are Irish by birth/descent/adoption between the ages of 6 and 18 that are practicing Catholics, please send them our way. This is a group of amazing young women! 
  In our motto, Friendship, Unity and Christian Charity
