Local presences at NY Patrick's Day Parade

The St Patrick’s Day Parade in New York will have local involvement this year as, in her capacity as Deputy Chief Executive of Kildare County Council, Brannockstown native Annette Aspell has been invited by the Kildare Association of New York to participate in a number of events including the St Patrick’s Day Parade on 5th Avenue and Mass in St Patrick’s Cathedral. She will be accompanied by the Cathaoirleach of Kildare County Council Councillor Kevin Duffy, 

The Kildare Association of New York is a benevolent organisation set up to encourage socialisation and support for American immigrants originating from County Kildare. The association became one of the first such to officially file, on September 3 1896 and is still going strong today. Their official banner is a portrait depicting St Brigid next to the round tower of Kildare.  

Another local involvement is that the Recording Secretary of the Kildare Association is Kilcullen native Sandra Kunzle nee Sandra Shortt.
