AOH has guest speakers at our monthly meetings on topics ranging from Irish sports, history, politics to the arts.  Any IAHS member that would like to hear any of our guest speakers is welcome with advance notice.

  AOH is very grateful to the members of the IAHS that have made our monthly food drives a success.
