​​​​BROOME COUNTY LAOH JUNIORS… February 2020

We are busy working on our projects to sell at our craft table at Irish Days. This year we will be selling St. Brigid crosses that we made from rush sent to us from Ireland.

Our next meeting is tentatively scheduled for February16th at 2pm. This is subject to whether additional days are needed to prepare for Irish Days.

We welcome young ladies who are Irish-by birth/descent/adoption between the ages of six and eighteen that are practicing Catholics to apply for membership.
To apply contact pick up an application at the Hall. 

​ DUES

 Once again, I’d like to thank all the members who have paid their 2020 dues. 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 2018 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.
