A Message From Our President

 

Greetings, Sisters!

 

Six of us gathered last Saturday for the first-ever Virtual LAOH National Convention! It was cool to see how organized the National Officers were and witness the new Officers being installed, bagpipes playing over Zoom and everything! The new National Board, click here to see who they are, has commenced their duties with great enthusiasm!  I have forwarded emails along introducing the new officers, so please check your email boxes.  We have also received the President's Introduction Letter from our new national president, Karen Keane. Click here to read her letter.

 

The Ladies AOH National is also looking for volunteers for each local division who would work with National on the following:

 

Post-Convention, the Denver Division currently seeks sisters to fill two volunteer positions:  

 

1. The Freedom for All Ireland (FFAI) Appointee (see p.21 of the LAOH Official National Constitution, Revised 2018, for a description of FFAI duties) Click here to read Dolores Deschs' letter of introduction as the new Freedom For All Ireland chair and...

2. The new LAOH Political Education Committee (PEC) member. National President Karen Keane is establishing this new Committee:  To gain more visibility for the LAOH.  Please contact me if you are interested in either of these positions or for more information at celtdane@gmail.com

 

Looking forward to "seeing" you all on our upcoming Zoom Happy Hours - August 12th and 26th - at 5:15 pm MT/ 7:15 pm ET. Hope you can join!

 

God Bless and Stay Well!

 

In Friendship, Unity & Christian Charity,

 

Sheila
