Irish Day Civic Ceremonies

TO ALL HONOREES and ROSE DEBS:

I just learned that not everyone understood that this is a Public Event next Friday at City Hall. Indeed it is – and each of you should invite your family and all of your friends to attend City Hall event. We want the Irish crowd big and BIGGER. A couple of years back, we were embarrassed by the Persians who should up in force. SO REMEMBER…let the IRISH show up in force.
