LADIES AOH MEETING:
Tuesday,
November 14, 2006 at 7pm
at
Red Rooster at Rhawn
FROM AOH DIVISION 1
PRESIDENT:
Brothers and Sisters,
The
month of November is usually a time of the year when we give thanks for what we
have since Thanksgiving falls in this month.
We also think about all those who are not as well off as us and try to
help them out. As for our membership in the AOH/LAOH we do this for many
reasons but none more important then helping those less fortunate then us.
We
have been able to accomplish many wonderful things in our short history of
Division 1 both men women and students at Catholic High. For so few to make such a positive impact on
so many is a real high point
in the history of the division. We also have a lot of fun doing this at the
same time. We are fortunate enough to
have a great relationship with so many other divisions that we sometimes forget
the tight bond we have with groups.
Take our close relationship with our friends from AOH/LAOH 25.
The bond we share along with our commitment to
honor Patrick Kerr is stuff of legend.
There
is a dedication I am going to on November 7th at Roman's newest building on
13th and Wood Street.
It is being dedicated and named appropriately the McSherry
Annex. In short Jim McSherry was a living legend at
Catholic High. His life was dedicated to making sure that there was still a
school surviving to follow the dream of Thomas Cahill the founder of Roman
Catholic High School. When the school faced closure Jim was right there to
encourage the rest of the Alumni Association to raise money and get
students to attend the school. Jim's love for the school was unsurpassed and he
will be sorely missed. He was a true Cahillite!
We
have an important date this month: Hoops
for Hunger Tournament 11/24 -11/26
This is a CYO grade school Basketball Tournament
for Boys and Girls in Catholic Grade Schools in the city. We don't charge them
but we do ask for a canned good in return for their entrance fee.
All this money raised during the tournament is
used for the Hibernian Hunger Project works. This is something that we need
volunteers for the weekend.
If you can give sometime it would be most
appreciated.
I know this falls on the Ladies trip to AC but
think about just a few hours on another day.
We
always have some sort of work of Charity for the holiday season but this year
we should get back to having some type of gathering for Christmas with the men
and ladies. We should celebrate a bit. It's been a banner year for
everyone involved. Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving! If anyone has
any ideas about a Christmas gathering please let Maggie, Ann Marie or myself know.
Best Regards,
John Riley

Prayer to St. Brigid
Father, by the leadership of thy
blessed servant Brigid thou didst strengthen the
Church in this land; As we give thee thanks for her life of devoted
service, inspire us with new life and light, and give us perseverance to serve
thee all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
May you always
have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
