President's Message for February 2016
PRESIDENT’S
MESSAGE

| Division One President Kevin Ellis |
February
2016
Brothers,
Winter
finally arrived last week and I hope everyone got thru the Blizzard of 2016
without any issues. Thankfully the warm
temperatures have since returned and most of the snow is now gone. Let’s hope
that there will be no more major weather issues this year! The month of February is where things start
heating up around the AOH world in preparation for our busy St. Patrick’s Day
season. First let’s recap what occurred last
month.
Our
Division has submitted all of our per capita forms and paperwork closing out
the 2015 calendar year, and once again it was a tremendously successful year
for our Charities and Missions program.
We have reported over $26,000 in monetary donations and over 1,400 volunteer
hours to the State and National Boards!
This is an accomplishment that could never have been reached without all
of the hard work that is done by the entire membership throughout the year,
congratulations to all of you! Special
thanks to our Charities and Missions Chairmen Jack McDonald and Tom Allison,
who steered the charities committee and achieved another wonderful success.
Division
#1 held its Annual Golf Sponsor Pub Tour this past weekend and once again many
members showed up to support it. We once
again were able to distribute 10,000 coasters with our logo and contact info to
all of the establishments who sponsor our golf outing every year. Thanks go out to Tom Allison, Peter Van Slyck
and Allways East Transportation for helping with this event again this year.
February
has many events that all of you should be aware of starting with our Annual
Superbowl Charities Fundraiser. The pool
once again sold out and we thank Brian Hartnett for all the hard work involved
with it. This fundraiser provides an important
bridge between the parade season and our golf outing and we appreciate all of
those who support this fundraiser each year!
Our main
attention every February is our Annual Communion Breakfast which will be held
at St.
Joseph’s Seminary on February 28, 2016 at 10:00am.
Please get all of your table reservations in ASAP to Mike Morley so we
can have as accurate a headcount as possible.
More information and copies of the event flyer will be available at our
membership meeting at Fogarty’s Restaurant on February 3rd.
I would
like to extend congratulations to our Chairman of Standing Committee Dennis O’Brien
as he will be honored as our 2016 Hibernian of the Year at the Communion
Breakfast. Dennis will also be honored
next month as he has been chosen as an Aide to the Grand Marshal of both the
Sleepy Hollow & Yonkers St. Patrick’s Day Parades! Dennis has done tremendous work for us over
the years and the honors he will receive as very well deserved! Congratulations Dennis!
Looking
ahead to the Month of March it appears that the schedule has us once again
participating in 4 St. Patrick’s Day Parade over a 7 day period. Please clear your schedules now for the week
of March 12th thru the 19th. I will provide a specific time schedule in
the coming weeks. We will need maximum participation
from our membership as this will be part of our 125th celebratory
events. There are several dinner dances
associated with the parades that we support and these details will be covered
our membership meeting.
I am
confident that our members will once again answer the challenge as we head into
our busy season.
Yours in
our Motto,
Kevin
Ellis, President
