Dear Brothers,

Note:   We will have a guest speaker, Ann Campbell, Executive Director of the East End Pregnancy Center will give a short presentation at our February meeting starting at 6:45 PM.  Please arrive around 6:30 so we can show our continued strong support for the work done by her group.

Note 2:  The Lady AOH will have a representative at our meeting from 6:45 PM to 7:15 PM to sell tickets to the LAOH Gala on March 8, 2025.  The tickets are $35 per person and cash or check are the only forms of payment accepted.

4,000 X $10.00 = $40,000.  In our budget, we estimate Ticket Sales for the Trip for Two to Ireland at $27,000.  We print 4,000 tickets and sell about 2,700 tickets.  There is a potential for an additional $13,000 in proceeds for the AOH to do more good in our community.  Kudos to John Condon for his leadership in ticket sales. Consider if you can sell more tickets so we can do more good!

Friendship and Unity – Be Nice!  There is turmoil in the world, country, state, and community.  We are children of God and all created equally.  A kind word, a smile, or a head nod to a stranger costs nothing and gives so much.

Christian Charity – Had the pleasure to attend the St. Michael’s Pastoral Services Department Quarterly Meeting in January.  There are many parishioners doing great things and supporting similar causes (St. Elizabeth’s and East End Pregnancy Center to name two).  They have a plethora of volunteers and appreciate the AOH and Lady AOH for their support.

In Friendship, Unity, and Christian Charity,

Mike Valacer
