LAOH Division 1 - Daughters of Erin
LAOH members are dedicated to the principals of the Order, Friendship, Unity, and Christian Charity. Our Ladies Division 1 was founded in October 2003. Among our aims is to create a stimulating venue for members and our community through our charitable works and social projects.
The Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians was founded in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1894 as the "Daughters of Erin." The Organization pledged itself to God and Country.
The motto of the Ladies is "Friendship, Unity and Christian Charity."
Our patron saint is Saint Brigid.

Division 1 is no longer active.
Thank you to all who have supported Division 1 through the years.

Please support your local AOH/LAOH.

All of these Organizations help to feed the elderly, homeless and less fortunate.

CELTIC KUDOS:

The Hibernian Hunger Project

From Ed Dougherty:
It was announced in the recent Hibernian Digest that the Philadelphia County was awarded the March 2008 An Gorta Mor Award for our dedication to the Hibernian Hunger Project. This is a honor for all of our Hibernian brothers and sisters in the Philadelphia area.

On behalf of the men and women from Philadelphia County, I would like to thank past National President Ned McGinley and the Hibernian Charity Board for awarding the Philadelphia County the March 2008 An Gorta Mor award. The Philadelphia Hibernians have supported and dedicated countless hours to the Hibernian Hunger Project. The money from this award will be used to prepare and package meals for the less fortunate and elderly shut-ins at our annual cook-in in March 2009.

From Seamus Boyle, National Vice President, AOH
The Hibernian Hunger Project started in Philadelphia under the leadership of Bob Gessler, with the help of a few people, grew until some neighbouring counties joined us. The PA State Board then got on board and, when it really got the attention Bob wanted, the National Board became involved under Ned McGinley. And when we asked Jack Meehan to continue he never hesitated and appointed Ed Dougherty to head it.

Today we should be proud to say that we have started a project that hopefully will continue until there is no more hunger in the world. Ed Dougherty is to be commended for his tireless efforts in keeping the HHP going and spreading it throughout the country.

Congratulations on receiving this award and for the way it is to spent!
Congratulations to Bob for starting it - to Ed for keeping it going - and to Philadelphia County for supporting it from day one - as well as everyone who helps out!
