AOH KINGS COUNTY BOARD FALL/WINTER 2016 NEWSLETTER

Posted by Jim on October 20, 2016

 

Dear Fellow Hibernians

     On behalf of the Officers of the Kings County Board, I hope to find all in good spirit while serving our Saviour, Our Nation and Irish-American Community.  We are getting into a very busy season with numerous events being held by various Hibernian Divisions and other Irish Heritage groups.  I’m going to list what I have.  I know there must be numerous of others, if you can share, that would be very appreciated.  Also, it is understandable that attending all these events is an impossibility.  Having said that, if you are able to attend, participate, donate, take out a journal ad if applicable or give an acknowledgement to the honorees or causes of the events, that should be accepted warmly.  Attending these events is always fun, sometimes spiritual and plenty of good fellowship.

     Some of these events are advertised on the www.NYAOH.Org website. Also events can be found on the AOH Facebook page(s) and some can be found on www.BrooklynIrish.com.
