Dear Members:
Once again, I would like to welcome all Hibernian members to attend the 2014 AOH and LAOH National Convention in Saint Louis from July 30th through August 2nd. It happens to be the 250th anniversary of the founding of the City of Saint Louis (sester centennial).
I have a great team of volunteers to accompany me to the Milwaukee Irish Festival—August 16th through 18th. We will invite Hibernians to attend our 2014 National Convention. Where else can we contact hundreds of potential Hibernians around the Midwest. My wife Kathy, my daughter Kelly, Zach Chew, Zach Lange, and John Kilker—all Hibernians from Saint Louis.—will be accompanying me. Four of our volunteers are in their early twenties. It’s so nice to see young Hibernians getting involved. The Milwaukee Irish Festival is a very special event with a Hibernian entertainment area.
Kansas City, Missouri will have their Irish Festival over Labor Day weekend—August 30th through September 1st. It’s a great place to hear the finest Irish music in the Midwest.
The Illinois State Convention will be held September 20th and 21st. A fabulous dinner and installation of officers will be held at The Lady of Snow Shrine in Belleville, Illinois on September 21st.
In Saint Louis there is a special one-day event—an Irish County Fair—which will be held on September 6th at The Saint James the Greater Church on Tamm Avenue in Dogtown. You can count on fine Irish music and dancing.
Finally, the Hibernian President’s Dinner will be in New York City on October 4th and 5th.
Please plan to attend the 2014 AOH and LAOH National Convention in Saint Louis from July 30th through August 2nd.
Very truly,
James Dailey Wahl
