Put Away Your Fancy Clothes

So the Ancient Order of Hibernians have had another round of installations. The new officers for the five local divisions are set and 2012 looks like a good year. Way back in November of 2011 Schenectady installed Steve Mackey as the new chieftain of their Division. A wonderful diner was held and Steve was also named the Hibernian of the Year. In December, both Albany and Troy held their Installations. Liam McNabb is serving a second term in Albany and E. Richard Boland returns to the head of the table in Troy. Current Albany County President Kevin O'Reilly was named the Albany Hibernian of the year. Skipping the holidays and heading into January, The Watervliet division installed John McAvoy as their new President and Chris Bergman remains in charge in Saratoga.
     All the Divisions are looking forward to a productive year and have very good men in the position to lead them. Check back here throughout the year to see just what the Irish in your town have planned.
