A message from state president john manning
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of my Brother Hibernians, from throughout New York State for placing their trust in me by electing me to be your Ancient Order of Hibernians New York State President back on July 9, 2021. I’m very grateful for the opportunity you have given me. I promise to serve you all to the best of my ability, and to continue the course established by my predecessors.
I would also like to extend my sincerest gratitude to all of my Brother and Sister Hibernians from Syracuse, New York, for all of your hard work, dedication, preparing, and coordinating for the New York State Ancient Order of Hibernians Convention, that was recently held in Syracuse, NY, Job Well Done!!!!
My thanks also go out to immediate Past President Thomas Lambert. Tom served the Order well during his time on the Board and facing the many challenges regarding the pandemic he helped move our organization forward in some of its darkest times.
All the elected and appointed State officers are transitioning into our new roles and are already hard at work! I am very much looking forward to the future and working closely with my Brother Hibernians of the Ancient Order of Hibernians across New York State. It’s important that we all continue working together in our “Motto” toward improvement and growth throughout all of New York State. Please don’t hesitate to contact me at any time if there is anything you need, or I can be of assistance. I can be reached at jmanningnysaoh@gmail.com, call or text (917) 589-0047. I’m looking forward to seeing you all soon.
