The
Eastchester Irish American Social Club (EIASC) is proud to sponsor
Eastchester’s 7 th
annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Sunday March
13th,
2011. This celebration has become a tradition and a source of pride and
enjoyment for Eastchester and its surrounding area residents. The EIASC is
delighted to announce that this year’s Grand Marshal will be Anne Hendry,
with Liz Ahern selected as Parade Honoree.
Anne
Hendry is co-founder of the Hendry School of Irish Dance. In addition to
performing at EIASC events and various functions throughout our town, the
school placed six times at this year’s Oireachtas. In 2003, Anne received
the Eastchester Citizenship Award due to her work and kindness in helping a
neighbor whose lives were torn apart by a fire in their home. Anne was
raised in Rego Park, Queens by her father Joe Sullivan, himself from Rego
Park, and her mother Norah Joyce Sullivan, who immigrated to the United
States in 1958 from Connemara, Co. Galway. Anne and her husband, Jim, are
residents of Eastchester for the past eighteen years and have two children,
Danny and Siobhan.
Liz
Ahern has been an active member of the EIASC for twelve years and is also a
committee member for the Swazi Legacy, a charity organization that raises
awareness and funds for orphans in Swaziland, South Africa. Born and raised
in the Bronx, Liz is the fifth of six children to Jim and Betty Shea from
County Kerry in Ireland. Liz and her husband, Brendan, have lived in
Eastchester since 1993 and are the proud parents of three children, Danny,
Erin and Timmy.
Anne
has chosen as Joe Sullivan and Kathy Sullivan as her Aides. The 2011 parade
is stepping off at 3:00 p.m. beginning at Immaculate Conception Church
in
Tuckahoe and marching north on Route 22 to the Lake Isle Country Club. This
parade is one of the fastest growing in Westchester County and will feature
eleven Pipe Bands, six Brass Marching Bands and over 25 marching groups,
including the Police and Fire Departments and a United States Army unit.
