4 Page 4 AOH DIVISION 61 SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER St. Baldrick s Shave the Way Through the generous donations from AOH/LAOH members, family and friends, I was able to raise $ 1, for St. Baldrick's Cancer Research for Children. This was my second year shaving my head. I would like to thank brother, Raymond Colman,who donated his time and talent and entertained for us. Thank you to all who participated in my head shaving especially my barbers: Tim Murphy, Gary Thomas and Jay Hull. A great day was had by all who stopped by the club that day. Tom Byrne The Hibernian Digest is now on line, just click on the following link: as is the Wild Geese at Saint Anne s Convent Help Needed Father Edward Bradley is the newly named pastor of St. Anne s Parish and has asked for help securing the convent: I am looking to secure the convent for our nuns (Sisters of Saint Joseph) in several ways: 1. Change the windows into the basement to the thick block glass windows (13 all together). I am not too sure what it will take to get the old windows out and the new ones in Need to replace two outer doors of the convent with solid wooden doors from the school Need to take down three small trees in the back of the convent Need to take down a trailer that is attached to the convent (still thinking about this one) Even though we are not budgeted for it this year, I think I can get the bucks to purchase the materials. It is being looked into. What I need to know is this: Do you know of anyone who is proficient in these types of projects who has the tools and is willing to donate their time and talent? Respectfully in our Lord, Rev. Edward Brady Please reach out to Jim Lockhart (RIC) - cell# from AOH 87 who is coordinating the volunteers for St. Anne's.
