The marching started the first Sunday at the Garden city Parade at noon with Bethpage Parade at 2:00 and festivities followed both.
We attened the Irish Experience at Hofstra University the Nassau AOH sponsor a table there. And of course the 2010 New York City Parade on the 17th. All these events had a great turnout. Division 11 was led up 5th Avenue by “Irish Thunder Pipes and Drums” an award winning marching band from Pennsylvania A.O.H. Division No. 1 – Montgomery County, Swedesburg, PA . We sincerely thank them for the wonderful job they did and welcome them back anytime.
Gathering the food, purchasing from stores and donors is the hard part! We try to make deliveries twice a month at each pantry. We also try to customize the needs of each pantry with special drop-offs. There are many items that assistance programs do not supply like Aluminum Foil, Toothpaste and Toothbrushes, Laundry, dish and Body soaps etcetera. Can your kitchen operate without such items?
Often the Scouts and School Children help both with the collection and the delivery.
To AOH from Saint Ignatius Social Service Outreach Thank you Division 11

EASTER MONDAY MONUMENT RE-DEDICATION
Several Irish-American organizations, including the Nassau County Board of the AOH, the Irish-Americans in Government, the Irish American Society of Queens and Nassau, the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick and other groups formed a committee for the monument’s refurbishment almost two years ago, and today Phase One of the refurbishment project was completed and rededicated. The Irish government donated $20,000 to this project. It was a privately funded project sponsored by the Irish groups mentioned and others, as well as through fund raising events.
