President’s Message

Greetings, Brothers and Sisters,

We are excited to announce our All-Division Christmas Party on December 6th at the hall, beginning at 6:00 PM. Sign-up sheets will be available at the hall. This annual celebration is always a wonderful opportunity to reconnect, share some holiday cheer, and enjoy the fellowship that makes our Order so special.

At our last meeting, the men’s division proudly inducted five new members into our ranks. Please join me in welcoming Thomas Murry, Tim O’Shay, Mike Smalt, Mike Beagle, and Jack Spence to our brotherhood. We are fortunate to have such dedicated individuals join our Order, and we look forward to their involvement in the months and years ahead.

As we near the end of what has been a truly great year for our division, I encourage everyone to take a moment to enjoy the holidays with family and friends at our AOH Hall. We are blessed to have a hall of our own—something many divisions do not have—and it takes all of us working together to preserve it for the next generation. Your continued support keeps our traditions strong.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to those who have offered support, guidance, and mentorship during my term as AOH President. Special thanks to Bill Burke, Terry Reagan, Tom Kelly, Mark Kadlecik, and John Walker for their leadership and friendship. I would also like to thank the Presidents of both Ladies’ Divisions over the past several years for their dedication and collaboration.

I still have one more newsletter to write, but I wanted to express my sincere appreciation to everyone who helps support our hall and our beloved Order of the AOH. It has truly been an honor to serve.

In Our Motto,

Patrick Walsh, President
