Brothers,
Looks as though Spring has finally
arrived! I know I have been patiently waiting for warmer weather and
thankfully it is here in time for our Annual Charity Golf Outing next
week. More on that later. First a few things to recap events over the
last month.
I first would like to welcome our
two newest members Dennis O'Connor and Michael Kelly! Our Division
continues to grow and this will ensure continued success in all the efforts we
do. I would encourage every member to continue pushing recruitment each
and every month as we push past the 100-member milestone this year!
Division #1 completed another
successful parade season this year, and I wish to thank all those members who
took time to march with us in the many parades we participated in. The
NYC Parade saw our largest turnout ever and we expect to keep that number to
increase going forward.
Division #1 also hosted the Major
Degree Ceremony this past weekend at Sacred Heart Church. I wish to
congratulate those members on obtaining their Major Degree! We still have
too many members who have yet to do this so we will push for more candidates
when the ceremony is held again this Fall in Manhattan.
Out 21st Annual Charity Golf Outing
is Monday, May 7th at The Ardsley Country Club. Please bring in all
outstanding sponsor and registration payments to our membership meeting this
Wednesday at Maggie Spillane's.
The 2018 AOH National Convention
will be held in Louisville, KY from July 11th - July 14th. Any member
wishing to attend the National Convention can visit the convention website and
book their reservations online. The link will be provided at the end of
this message.
I will be attending the AOH New York
State Board Meeting in East Durham on Saturday. I will provide reports
from the various state committees when I return.
Finally, please remember in your
prayers three people we lost this past month who were well known to members of
our Division: Don Mosher (father of LAOH
Division 19 President Allison Burke), Bridgette Puma, (wife of McLean Ave Merchants President RJ Puma), and Father Terence Lee MHM
(Westchester County LAOH Chaplain). May
they Rest in Peace.
Yours in our Motto,
Kevin Ellis, President
Division #1, Yonkers
