Division One Annual Pub Tour 2013
Yonkers Hibernians Hold
Annual Pub Tour
Annual Pub Tour

| Members braved Superstorm Nemo and boarded the Pub Tour Bus |
The members of Division One have
always enjoyed a challenge, and they proved Saturday that they weren’t going to
let a little thing like Super Storm Nemo
get in the way of an annual tradition.
The Division went ahead with its Annual Pub Tour despite 10 inches of
snow being dumped on the greater Yonkers area, and neither sleet nor snow
kept these Hibernians from keeping their appointed rounds!

| There is never a shortage of volunteers for this annual event! |
The Pub Tour is now in its fifth year,
and it held every February so that members can say “Thanks” to all of our
Charity Golf Outing Sponsors. The funds
raised from our Golf Outing go to support the Division’s Charities and Missions
program.

| Our Promotional Coasters were a hit with Pub Owners! |
This year, Division One handed out approximately 5,000 coasters emblazoned with the Division’s logo and contact information. This was the idea of Past division president Tom Allison, “Not only do the pub owners appreciate them, but they are sure to increase awareness of our organization and hopefully lead to increased interest in what we do”. The coasters were sponsored by Doubleday’s Bar and Restaurant and The Celtic House in Dobbs Ferry.
A lot of effort went into making this
year’s Pub Tour a smashing success.
Thanks to Peter Van Slyck and Always East Bus Company for supporting
this event each and every year. We would
also wish to thank Dennis O’Brien for
having the coasters produced for us.
Thanks also to Stacey Ellis
for the wonderful coaster design. We are
already looking forward to having next years tour even bigger and better!
