Per Capita Assessments

| November 5th, 2011 | No Comments »
Brothers,Several divisions have contacted me about the “rumor” they heard about the increase in per capita assessments next year. It is not a rumor but a fact. At the 2010 National Convention in Cinncinatti it was passed to raise the national per capita from eight (8) to (12) dollars. This was posted in the Hibernian Digest several times since. The 2011 national per capita is due on February 15, 2012 and is now $12.00 per member.

The good news is that the PA State Per Capita is still $2.00 per member and is due by March 31, 2012. We are able to maintain this low rate by the sale of the State Lottery Calendars. Without which are Pa. State PC would be $5 per the same as other states like NY. How many calendars does your division sell ?
The following e-mail was sent out earlier this week that the 2012 State Calendars are now available.

Brothers,
The 2012 Pa. State Board Calendars are now on sale.
Calendars are $40 each with the selling division keeping $5.
Prizes range from $40  a day to a Round Trip Tickets  for Two to Ireland on March 17th. Over $20,000 in prizes awarded every year.
Please contact Eugene Daly at   Eugh39@aol.com   or call him at   215-606-7580. You can also pick them up at Div. 39 on Tulip St.
The sale of the calendars enables the Pa. State Board to keep its State Assessments at $2 per member,  the lowest in the AOH !
