JANUARY'S PRESIDENT'S
MESSAGE: Dear Brothers, I hope everyone had a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. First off I would like everyone to notice inside this month's newsletter is our Annual
Ad Book information, I can't say this enough, this is our biggest fundraiser of the year, we need everyone's help. This off
sets the cost of the Parade, and helps with our charity giving. Sunday, January 29th is our Annual
Communion Breakfast after the 11:00 Mass. Former Irish Political Prisoner Pearce Kerr is our Guest Speaker, please try to
attend. Also on Sunday January 29th there's going to be a fundraiser for the family of Shane Kelly
(AOH Division 61), this event will be at Cannstatters up on Academy Road. I will be taking a crew up if you are interested
in joining us, let me know. At our next meeting on January 12th we will start taking parade orders;
also we will have some details on a possible angle for acquiring a Home. There is also a possible protest being planned at
Kildare's on 2nd Street that we will have more on, so please try to attend this meeting. Thank you. Also
keep the Milligan Family in your prayers. In Our Motto... Bill Francisco,
President AOH Division 51 - Fishtown 215-370-2745

A NOTE FROM THE PUBLIC RELATIONS CHAIRMAN... Brothers, we are
rapidly approaching the busiest time of our calendar year, the weeks and days leading up to St. Patrick's Day. As a part of
our St. Patrick's Day Parade activities is the Division's Annual Ad Book, which is our single biggest fundraiser for the Charity
Fund. Enclosed in the center of the January Hibernian Gazette is a copy of our Ad Book Sheet and
our Booster's Sheet. Please make every possible effort to buy and / or sell as many ads as you can. The Boosters are only
$2.00, so I would hope that every member would be able to sell at least $20.00 worth of Boosters; every little bit helps! I've included a link below this article that will allow you to print additional Ad Book Sheets and Booster Sheets
if you need them. The absolute last day to get your ads e-mailed to me is Monday, March 5th, 2012. The finalized Ad Book proof
will be sent to the printer at the end of that day, so if you don't get it in to me by then, it won't make it into the Ad
Book. Completed Booster Ad Sheets can be e-mailed directly to me at aoh51phil@yahoo.com and all money should be turned over to either Bill Francisco or Bill Ragen. You can also scan and e-mail
business card, 1/4 page, 1/2 page, full page and special pages to me at the same e-mail address or give them to either Bill
Francisco or Bill Ragen as soon as possible so they can be mailed to me. If you've placed an ad in last year's Ad Book, and
want to use the same ad again, just e-mail me and I'll put it in, again give the money to either Bill. As every member of the Division benefits from the Ad Book in some way, I hope that every member of the Division does
his / her best to make this the biggest and best Ad Book we've ever published. In Our Motto... Phil
