Reprinting of Booklet
I am excited to announce to all O'Dochartaighs that we have finished our project of re-printing the Brian Bonner booklet
"The Homeland of O'Dochartaigh."
This booklet has been out-of-print for over 15 years and is now available. We will be giving the booklet to each
new member joining our association in 2007, existing members who renew their membership in 2007 and each existing LIFETIME
member.
Joining and renewing is easy. It can be done right on this website.
Don't miss your chance to obtain this great booklet by such a splendid authority and historian.
We are making plans to have other such booklets available in future years, too. It has been an exciting process
and a thrilling accomplishment. Since it has had wonderful success and reception, it has opened the door for many more
O'Dochartaigh booklets.

Membership Dues Reminders
To all Members,
There has been a change in our operation of which I would like to inform you all. We are beginning to send
out reminders to all members just prior to the expiration of their dues.
Cameron has passed along a lot of member comments requesting help with knowing when their dues are coming up for renewal,
plus that when members do hear that they have skipped a year, make up all their dues. Some members have been confused
on this issue and were sending in dues each time they received a newsletter. This puts some of our members paid in advance
for a couple of years. We see that help is needed in this regard. The message is clear.
We have already initiated the changes in our operation in order to see that this is done every 2-3 months. In fact,
this is written after the initiative. Any member who recently passed their expiration date or is approaching their expiration
date has been notified by mail.
The response has been completely positive and very rewarding to those who put the work into this project.
From now on, you can relax about your membership expiration date. We will make sure you are contacted before it
expires. We are also making arrangements to have your "profile" available for you on our website, so you will be able
to look up your expiration date and even change your email or address or phone number, to keep keep your contact information
up-to-date. Now how wonderful is that!
Let us take another opportunity to thank you for your support.

Bylaws are Near Completion
Bylaws are not such a nuiasance or so boring. You should take a look at them when they are ready for download.
The thoughts, desires and hopes of all of us for this association are contained in this document. Because we've
takent the time to think about who we are, what we'd like to do, how we ought to be organized and what safe guards to include,
we should be able to get down to work. Because of the Bylaws that work should go smoother, the members more at home,
the leaders more knowledgable and everyone more proud and caring towards each other.
This document will make us a team and help assure us of a long and fruitful life. Let's safeguard it. Let's
often refer to its wisdom. Let's
keep it flawless and sharp. Let's commit to following it.
After the Bylaws are written, we will register ourselves as a Not-for-Porfit Organization and then follow its principals,
of which first will be the swearing in of our due-paying members. Upon such time we will also begin our search
for leaders and members wishing to serve on a committee.
Anyone interested in volunteering as a leader or committee member is asked to contact us, which can be done on this website.
