President’s Message

Greetings, Brothers and Sisters,

Happy holidays my Brothers and Sisters, winter is upon us, and the days are short and the nights are growing longer. We have our joint all division Christmas party at the hall December 7th at 6:00 PM, come on down for a little Christmas cheer and kick off the season with a smile and some good friends.  Please stop in and say hello every chance you can to support the hall and all good things we do for the community.

  We will have a regular men’s meeting on December 10th at 7:00 PM at the hall. We will plan for a new member induction for the January meeting. I am thinking to myself as I write this that this year is flying by so fast, it will be 2025 before we know it.

  The AOH is happy to host the fourth annual Christmas Charity event, this fundraiser is provided by Steve and Kelly Cole. The hall will be open and have live music provided by The Yada Yada, all tips raised, and donations received will benefit a local charity for the holiday season, stop on down and support this worthy cause.

  There is the opportunity to send a young adult to Ireland through the Irish Life Experience program, if you type the name in to a search engine it will take you right to the application that need to be filled out online, we assist with the cost of sending the winning applicant to Ireland for about 3 weeks. Cecilla Cole was able to go this past year and will tell us about her trip before the December meeting at 6:30 on the 10th. We look forward to hearing all about her trip and experiences.

  Congratulations to the winners of the Luck of the Irish drawings, I am sure the winnings will come in handy for Christmas shopping, all tickets were sold, and it was a great event. I understand that I may be jumping the gun, but I know parade day will be here in the blink of an eye, please see if you are able to help with any of the many projects that need to get done before the green stripe is painted down Main

 Respectfully, In Our Motto – Patrick Walsh, President
