Charter Centennial
The Monsignor Slocum Division #1 Ancient Order of Hibernians received its Charter on March 9, 1909. In recognition of this historic event, the Division will be celebrating our Charter Centennial throughout 2009. Our Anniversary Committee has been working extremely hard since the early spring to ensure that the Celebration is one worthy of our Founders.
Listed below are the dates and locations of the events that are already planed. More events will be added as they are scheduled.
We are still in need of additional volunteers. Please consider which event you would want to help at and leave us a note at the Club. Better yet, just stop in for our next meeting which will be on November 10 at 7:00pm.
