Conway Mill

AOH 32 brother John Graf and I recently met with the Board of the Conway Mill Trust and presented a plan to assist them in their mission of raising funds to allow Conway Mill to carry out its various missions. The plan includes expanding ties to the AOH and other Irish organizations, creating a web site, etc.
We will be meeting in January to further discuss strategies and an action plan for Conway Mill Trust. If you would like to be involved in anyway please email John Graf or me.

Thanks to all members of AOH/LAOH Division #32 who participated in the drive.
