Division 32 has maintained the annual dues at $50.00 per year for the past several years. As part of the yearly dues, each Division is required to pre-pay $13.00 to both the State and National Hibernians for per capita dues. Please make every effort to pay AOH dues at a meeting, or send to: Fin. Sec. Patrick Flaherty, 5142 N. Leavitt St., Chicago, IL 60625-6829. Thanks for all your support!

We start by electing a new slate of officers who will guide the division through the next two years. This is one of the most important tasks we can perform as members so please make every effort to attend the January 4th General Meeting and VOTE! Some positions are uncontested and contain familiar faces but others are contested and need your vote. The coming year offers many new challenges as well as opportunities for the Division so please attend and let your voice be heard. — Fraternally Yours, Sean O'Dowd Soup Kitchen at Our Lady of Lourdes The Christmas Soup Kitchen was a big success and thanks to all those who participated. This was a scholarship eligible event so thanks to all the kids that volunteered their time for a good cause. And thanks to the White Eagle for their generous donation of food to this year's event. AOH Christmas Party The Christmas Party was held on December 3rd at the White Eagle in Niles. By all accounts the party was a grand success. Thanks to Marty Moriarty for chairing the event. Thanks also to all those who volunteered and especially to all those who attended and made this inaugural event at the White Eagle a great success.
