Worthy Brothers,

I wanted to share early numbers I received from the national campaign.  I’m afraid I’m still using last year’s officers’ email addresses, so please forward this to any newly installed officers as appropriate.

Three divisions and one individual have already contributed.  All matched or surpassed last year’s donation. 

If you can give something to this worthy endeavor, please do so as soon as you can.  While donations are accepted and credited all year, the national committee plans to award grants by the end of February and so will be able to base the amounts only on what is received by early February.  But donations received throughout February will be eligible for the special recognition for donations of $1,000 or more.  Six divisions, as well as the State Board and one individual, qualified last year.  Let’s help keep the lights on for these critical causes. 

Donations can be sent through the PayPal page linked to the “Donate to FFAI Christmas Appeal” box on the AOH.com website, or by checks made payable to “AOH Christmas Appeal” and sent to:

AOH-FFAI
PO Box 904
Jefferson Valley, NY 10535

Please do include your division name and number on any checks.

If you have questions about whether your contribution has been credited, or about how to submit your contribution, or if I can help in any way, please feel free to contact me. 

In Friendship, Unity and Christian Charity,

Matthew Dullaghan
