PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE:
Brothers,
Happy Spring, I hope everyone
is coping with their hay fever. I would like to thank everyone who came out to the awards night at Finnegan’s Wake.
It was a very nice affair and of course, we were the stars of the show winning our second consecutive Tate Award. I would
also like to congratulate the Tara Gael Dancers as they won the award for adult Irish dancers for the fourth time. Each year
that we have won, they won, so I always wish them the best of luck on parade day. I will have a limited number of ad books
available at the May meeting for those who may need one.
We have a few events coming up in May. Irish night at the Phillies is Friday May
16th. $30 pp includes ticket and bus to and from the game. Bus leaves Holy Name at 5:30 PM. Tickets without the bus are $23.50.
We will have another Fill the Cart collection at Thriftway on May 17th & 18th. Times and details are in this issue of
the newsletter. We will again be marching in the Memorial Day Parade with the Elm Tree Post on Memorial Day. The parade gathers
at Tulip and Palmer at 11:00 AM. Look for Uncle Kel at the gathering point. What better way to honor our Troops, especially
those who made the ultimate sacrifice, than by volunteering an hour or so at the collection for the homeless Veterans. If
you can’t volunteer then please drop off a canned good or non-perishable food item. Also, if you are not going down
the shore, try to march in the parade.
I would like to congratulate Division Recording Secretary Pat Green for passing
the Pennsylvania Bar Exam. I am not going to make the obvious joke about him being the first Division member able to pass
a bar, that’s too easy. Pat’s daughter Colleen summed it all up when she asked Pat that since he passed the bar
exam does that mean he can work in a bar…
Save the date... Elvis will return to Holy Name Hall on October 11th. More details
to follow as they become available.
Finally, I would like to wish all our Moms a Happy Mother’s Day.
Yours
in Friendship, Unity and True Christian Charity,
Jay McCarrie, President
AOH Division 51
