MEMBERSHIP IN THE AOH:
APPLICATION PROCESS
The AOH accepts members throughout the year at monthly regular membership meetings. The full membership votes on each new member... Only after you've been voted in as a full member (must be Irish by birth or descent, a practicing Catholic, and a male over age 16) can you attend regular membership meetings. Until then, though, join us after our meetings (usually 8:30/8:45) and/or at ANY of our events...
Applications should be accompanied with a check for the initiation fee and dues.
Make the check out to "AOH": initiation fee ($15) PLUS annual dues:
From Jan - Jun: Your first year's dues are $35 ($30 Seniors/$25 Students)
From Jul - Dec: Your first year's dues are half-off: $17.50 ($12.50 for Students/Seniors)
Send Application & check to: AOH Membership Chair, Bill Riley: 1206 Delor Ave, Louisville, KY 40217.
If you are applying to be an Associate Member, indicate that on the form... Associate members don't pay the initiation fee.

Note: Members of the clergy/religious brothers need not be Irish... they (and those in the Armed Forces) are exempt from dues/initiation fees.
