​ DUES

  Once again, I’d like to thank all the members who have paid their 2021 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… September 2021

  Beannachtai! Happy September, we hope everyone enjoyed their summer. Remember, tans fade but memories last forever. The Juniors are gearing up for their first in person meeting on September 26, 1pm at the hall. There is much to discuss and plan. They will be painting rocks to add to the memorial garden when they do the fall clean up and add some autumn accents.

We are looking forward to The Hooley on September 17. The Juniors are expected to be there at 4pm for kitchen prep in support of our LAOH sisters-can’t wait!

Please save the date, November 2 will be our annual spaghetti dinner at the hall. Details to come.

We are actively recruiting new members for the Junior Division and looking to our brothers and sisters for help. Please reach out to family or non-family members who are eligible. As our girls age out it is so important to keep our membership growing strong with the hope that they continue to be life-long members of the LAOH.
Until next time...if any of you 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. 
In our motto, Friendship, Unity, and Christian Charity.
