Message for January / February 2011
Nollaig Shona Daoibh,
Athbhllan FaoiMhaise Duit
Merry
Christmas, and Happy New Yearl
Greetings, this is my
firct Presidential
message of
what I
know (with a
lot of
prayer) will
be a
prosperous and
successful
year for the
division. We
are lucky to
have Mike Greene
our Past
President
as Vice
President, lmmediate Past
President Ken
Ferguson as Financial
Secretary, and
Jim Wall back
again
as Treasurer. Their proven
knowledge and
experience will
make my
job a
lot easier and
our
future certain and brighter. The rest of the newly
elected board are
dedicated and
will ensure that the future of
the Division is in capable
hands.
The Christmas/lnstallation
Party
at American Legion Post 1066
was just that,
a great party!
All night we intermingled, danced, talked,
and
there was great
Craic. l would like to send out a
big congratulations to our
Man of
the Year Ed McGlade and Woman
of the Year
Maureen
Murphy Ade, as
they both
have done an
incredible service. I
predict great camaraderie
and support
from the LAOH and
their new
President Patricia Sternkopf.

a
reminder that the hall is available for small

Soldiers of our Armed Forces,
especially those in Harms
Way.

Mike’s Tidbits
A lot has happened since the last Newsletter. We had
a
very successful Christmas/ lnstallation
party with thanks to the efforts of
Ken Ferguson and Ed. Mc Glade. On the following day,
Santa arrived at
the
hall for the children. This year
we had over 35
children, thank God our children are keeping
up
the lrish tradition. lf
you missed it mark
it on
your calendar for next year.
Congratulations to Jack and Noreen Ryan on becoming
Grandparents again as
well
as for the parents Noreen and
Steve Miller on the arrival of
Molly
(a
future Drummer). Both Mom and baby are doing fine. Congratulations
to Ed. Mc Glade and Maureen Murphy Ade
on
being selected Man and Lady
of the year. Ed
is
well deserving of the award. He has been
active in
the Division, the County
and
the Band since he had
joined the Hibernians.
Congratulations to our newly elected leaders Padraic
Nugent and Pat.Sternkopf and
their newly elected Boards. Let's
get out and support them in
their efforts. A
special thanks to the
out going President Ken Ferguson on
the
job he did
for the
last
two years.
One of our brothers, Mike Mahoney
and
former member of Tara, has recently formed a pipe band. They are
known as
The New York Metro pipe band. Since the
formation, they have
competed and
won numerous awards in piping
competition. They recently held a concert in New York City that was
sold out and next
year they are planning to enter the World Pipe Band
Championship in Glasgow, Scotland. Good luck
Mike.

President's Message
Dear Sister Hibernians,
A Happy & Healthy New Year to all. Hope
everyone enjoyed
a Blessed Christmas with all their
loved ones. I wish to thank
all those who attended the Christmas Party/lnstallation on
Dec. 1 1-
We had a
great turnout of both sister & brother Hibernian's. The
music and food were
outstandin!. lt
was an honor to have Margaret
Hennessey, LAOH Nat'l' President, Meg Reding,
NYS president & Mary
Jo
Walsh, Nassau County President attending our gathering. Many
thanks to Ann Marksteiner &
Anne Roarty for chairing the Ladies Christmas Party
at Belliisimo Ristorante on Dec.
6. The Yankee swap conducted by Pat Doyle is always the
highlight of
the evening and this year was no
exception. As in years past, we ended the evening with
Christmas carols conducted-by Maureen Caffrey. Our
"Twelve Days of Christmas" medley just keeps getting better
and better each year. As
usual, the ladies outdid themselves
in ienerosityivitn
o]rr toy collection which wis donated to
underprivileged children in
Wyandanch.
I am Looking forward
to seeing all of you at our January meeting as well as
working with our new
LAOH Executive Board

LIFE MONTH
(Respectfully Submitted Ed McKee, PGK, Pro-Life
Chairman)
0VER 50 MILLION UNBORN CHILDREN MURDERED SINCE THEY
LEGALIZED ABORTION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA JAN 22,
1973. AND WHAT ARE YOU!!! DOING ABOUT IT?
RESPECT LIFE MONTH
STAND UP FOR LIFE
The
reason for the creation of the Ten
Cornmandments is to give
us humans a
moral compass of right
and
wrong. lt is
simple and basic to follow.
Do
you remember the
Ten
Commandments? lt may be a
good
idea for all of
us to
periodically refresh our mind and
read them
&
allow our moral compass to
have
direction
God
wants us
to
have.
I often
sat &
wonder how the economy would
be
if the
52
million children were permitted
to live: They
would
be paying taxes and
paying into Social Security. Buying houses, automobiles,
furniture, appliances etc.
and contributing to the country
as
a
whole. lnstead our politicians
have
allowed our manufacturing to
be
outsourced to foreign countries
& unfortunately, we are
no longer the
Great
independent Nation we
once
were.

WHICH ARE YOU?
Are you an active member __ the kind that would be
missed?
Or are you just content that your name is on the
list?
Do you attend the meetings and mingle with the
flock,
or do you stay at home and criticize and knock?
Do you take an active part to help your Division
along?
Or are you satisfied to simply say that you belong?
Do you ever volunteer to help the guiding stick?
Or leave the work to just a few, then talk about
the clique?
Come out to a meeting and help with hand and heart,
don’t just be a member, but take an active part.
Just think it over member __ you know right from
wrong.
Are you an active member, or do you just belong?
