What we did in 2007
. . .How many times in recruiting a new member have you been asked
"what does the AOH do?" Well here's what we did in 2007. The Division
donated almost $ 3,000 to various charities and raised much more.
Currently we have approximately $ 9,000 in our charity fund and plan on
donating much more this year. The Division gave $ 1,000 to St. Gregory
School for their Latin program and books. Keeping with Catholic
Education we donated $500.00 to St. Anthony Parish for their CCD
program. We also gave $1,000 to Holy Family Parish for the construction
of an outdoor Stations of the Cross. Other recipients were the
Pregnancy Center of the Low Country and for vocations. Perhaps our
shining light was the amount of man hours our Brothers donated. Here is
a breakdown: Highway clean-up of Buck Island Rd.- 100 hrs. Driving
nursing home residents to Mass- 100 hrs. Evangelization in the form of
parade participation- 270 hrs. Parking cars for Holy Family Parish- 147
hours. To all our members! Great Job! and Goh raibhmaith agut! How to contact an officer- go to navigation bar, click on "About Us" on drop down item hit "Contact Us". In body of message identify officer you wish to contact. Our Division will not be participating in the Hilton Head Island Saint Patrick's Day parade. This decision was made as March 16th is Palm Sunday and in compliance with the Church's directive that St. Patrick's Day is officially moved to March 14th. Our elected officers feel this decision is in the best interest of our division. |
