The Ancient Order of Hibernians Division 18 Peekskill, Westchester County, will hold its annual Thanksgiving dinner dance this Saturday, November 19, at the Cortlandt Colonial in Cortlandt Manor. The dinner will be preceded by a special Mass at Assumption Church at 5 p.m.
This year's Hibernian of the Year, Cathal "Chuck" McGreal, will be honored at the dinner.
"We are proud to honor one of our own, Cathal McGreal. Division 18 is one of the most dynamic AOH Divisions in the Hudson Valley," division president, Aidan O'Kelly-Lynch, said.
"In the last three years Division 18 has helped establish the Hudson Valley Irish Fest, opened up a Hibernian Hall at the Hudson Valley Irish Center in Verplanck, doubled its membership, and has been instrumental in the establishment of Division 18 of the Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians, O'Kelly-Lynch added.
McGreal is a native of Westport, County Mayo. He is a master at millwork and design, lives in Cortlandt Manor, and is the owner of Hibernian Millwork in Peekskill. More information at www.aohdivision18.org and for dinner reservations call Bernard Keaney at (914)962-5675.
