​ 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.

Change of Address

  If you have had a change of address and have not notified the AOH, please email Mark Kadlecik mkadlecik1@stny.rr.com.  This is the only way that we can ensure that you get your copy of the Chieftain and that you get all notifications pertaining to the division. Thank you!

​​​​BROOME COUNTY LAOH JUNIORS… August 2021

  Beannachtai! I hope everyone is enjoying summer, time with family, and “soaking” up SOME sun.
Congratulations to our President, Aidan, Vice President, Katie and Immediate Past President, Emma who graduated from Binghamton High School at the top of their class. They are all pursuing higher education in the fall at various universities. What an accomplishment! Clearly these are exceptional young women who have only just begun to leave their mark. We wish you every success!
This year’s recipient of the Mary Curry Memorial Scholarship is our LAOH Junior Division President Aidan Well done Aidan!

Last and not least, it was announced at the NYS convention that our Broome County Junior Division won the scrapbook contest! It was so exciting. The girls as well as their parents, and all those who have brought them to meetings and functions should be so proud. Please take a look at this award-winning book (which will be on display at the hall) to have a full understanding of what went into it. It truly is a beautiful tribute to the last 2 years of all the Juniors hard work and dedication to the LAOH, AOH and
community.

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.
Kelly Cole

Vice President LAOH Division 2
