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.

The hall is open on Super Bowl Sunday, see Ron Ade for details. Speaking of parties, a reminder that the hall is available for small

intimate parties and celebrations such as First Communions, Confirmations, family gatherings, etc. We are handicapped

accessible and reasonably priced for rentals by both members and non nembers. See or call Mike Greene @ (516} 795-9715.

ln closing, remember our sick and departed Brothers and Sisters in your prayers. Pray for the the success of our new Board of Officers,

and remember the brave 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.

The County will be holding a Shamrock and Major degree on April 3 at 1PM in Long Beach more details at later date. Keep the date in mind.

LAOH 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 members"

(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.

Join in the:  38ih Annual March for Llfc , January 24th 2011 Washington, D.C.

God's Speclal Gift, The Gift of Life. Protect Gods Creation the Unborn Chlldren.
