PRESIDENT’S
MESSAGE

December 2014
Brothers,
The
Christmas Season is upon us once again, and it usually during this time of year
that we tend to look back and bring to mind all of our blessings. As a group, we certainly have much to be
appreciative and thankful for.
I am
extremely thankful to all of our Hibernian Brothers who came together to
sponsor The 6th Annual Sean
Tallon Memorial Tournament! The event
was able to reach an entirely new level this year and we owe a great deal of
gratitude for all of the AOH County Boards and Divisions who joined us as sponsors
of this important tournament. Their
support has not only ensured that this event will continue, but will grow in
size and scope as well. Special thanks
to The Tallon Family and The FDNY Ceremonial Unit, Tom Beirne, John Manning,
Aidan O’Kelly Lynch, Bob Nolan, and Vic Versace who are now welcome partners in
promoting Irish Culture thru youth sports.
In December
we will have our final nominations for our Division Officers at our
meeting/year end party at The Lakers A.C. on December 5th. We will then have our first public AOH
Installation Ceremony at Dunwoodie Golf Course on December 13th. I would encourage all of our members to make
every effort to attend the installation with their families.
The initial details
for the upcoming 2015 AOH New York State Convention have been made available,
and we discuss this at our membership meeting on December 5th.
It is also
dues time! Our AOH Membership Cards for
2015 will be available at our January meeting, so please get your membership dues
of $35.00 in as soon as possible.
Also
remember that we are once again holding our Division One Annual Super Bowl Pool
again, so reserve your boxes early. See
Brian Hartnett for details.
I would like
to extend all of you and your families my very best wishes for a Merry Christmas
and a healthy and Happy New Year!
Yours in our motto,
Kevin Ellis, President
Division One, Yonkers
