Greetings Brothers,
Well, it appears Spring has finally sprung, and I know we are all happy about that. Our next meeting will be on Friday, May 8th, 2015. I will be out of town on business but I know you have a seasoned hand at the tiller with our Worthy Vice President, Tom Flynn. Please come out to the May meeting and get updated on upcoming events!
During April, we had a great monthly meeting that was well attended. Our Night at the Races to benefit the Fleming
Scholarship Fund was a success, a great time had by all and $700 raised for the Fund. Thanks to Chris Debold for his
continued great work! We also had a SELL OUT for our Ireland's 32 Raffle! Thanks to Dennis Browne and Billy
O'Donnell for their hard work and to all who participated. Congratulations to all the winners!
Our Bethel Woods Raffle looks to be a sell out. As I am coordinating the raffle and will be away May 8th, the raffle
drawing will take place in conjunction with the LAOH Mother's Day Brunch at our Hall on Sunday, May 10th. Please
