Junior Division News
Thank you to everyone who visited and supported our Junior members at their table during Irish Day. Your generosity means so much to them. A special thank you to Mrs. McManus for the beautiful basket and to Mrs. Esworthy for the goodies—your donations truly helped make the fundraiser a success.
Before our March meeting, the Juniors volunteered at the AOH breakfast—well done, everyone! They also took time at their meeting to write cards for the April Honor Flight veterans to show their appreciation for their service.
Please join us in welcoming Payton Coffey, who was installed as a new member. Welcome to the group—we’re glad to have you!
Up next is the Junior Bake Sale, held alongside the AOH Chicken Barbeque on April 25th from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Stop by and pick up a sweet treat.
Our next meeting will be on May 4th at 4:30 p.m. at the AOH Hall. We will be baking and assembling Mother’s Day gifts for our homebound Hibernian ladies.
We are also actively recruiting new members, ages five to eighteen, for the Junior Division and are asking our brothers and sisters to help spread the word. Please reach out to eligible family or non-family members. As our girls age out, continued growth is essential to keeping our division strong and encouraging lifelong involvement in the LAOH. For more information, contact the LAOH 2 Vice President or pick up an application at the Hall.
