President's Message January 2015
PRESIDENT’S
MESSAGE
 |
| Division One President Kevin Ellis |
January 2015
Brothers,
Happy New
Year! I hope all of you enjoyed a
wonderful Christmas Season. I can say as
we close out a very successful year for our Division, we are looking forward to
even better things to come in 2015.
I would
like to start by thanking the membership for electing me as your Division President
for another term. It is a responsibility
that accept with humility and I serve with the understanding that our success as
a Division is completely dependent on a total team effort. As President, I am blessed to have the best
group of officers in the entire AOH, and together we are dedicated to making
2015 our best year yet!
Thanks to
all of our members who participated in our first public Officer Installation Ceremony
which was held at Dunwoodie Golf Course on December 13th. I believe that it was a tremendous success
and I have received nothing but positive feedback thus far. I would like to thank AOH Westchester County President Aidan O’Kelly Lynch and District Director Mike Flynn for performing the ceremony. John
Hyland served as our Marshal and made sure we were all in the right place
at the right time. We will look forward to making this an annual event,
possibly including The LAOH of Yonkers to make it an even better time.
The next
event that will be coming up is The AOH Westchester County Board’s Dinner Dance
that will be held at the DoubleTree Hilton Hotel in Tarrytown on Saturday, January
24 from 7pm-12mid. Division One has
already committed to a table, and we will attempt to drum up enough interest to
possibly get another. The main concern
is the commemorative journal for the dinner. The dinner is pretty much a break even affair,
so profits that will come from the event will rely solely on the success of the
journal. I would encourage all members
to consider purchasing an ad for a special members discounted rate of $60.00. The County Board has already decided that 25%
of the revenue from the journal will go to help Paul Clarke with his medical expenses, so your journal ad will help
2 causes at the same time! Copies of the
journal contract have been emailed to each member. Let’s try and make this journal a success!
Also, members
are reminded that we are running our Annual Charity Superbowl Pool which has
become a very important fundraiser for our Division. Please see Brian Hartnett to reserve your box
today.
The final
touches to our Annual Communion Breakfast Flyer are being made and we will have
our first look at it when we hold our membership meeting at Fogarty’s in
Bronxville on January 7th. We
will also have additional details available concerning the AOH New York State
Convention to be held in July. Our 2015
AOH membership cards should be available at the meeting as well, so please do
not forget to pay your dues and pick up your card.
As you can
see, the pace of events are set to pick up very quickly in the weeks ahead, and
don’t forget The St. Patrick’s Day marching season is only 9 weeks away!
Although we
can never predict what will happen in the future, I know as far as Division One
is concerned, there is no group better prepared for success in the year in
2015.
Yours in Our Motto,
Kevin Ellis, President
Division One, Yonkers
