Tom Clarke
By Irish Echo Staff
The Suffolk County, NY Ancient Order of Hibernians will gather this coming Sunday, April 3, to commemorate the dedication, in 1987, of the Tom Clarke and Kathleen Daly Clarke Memorial.
The memorial is in Manorville where the 1916 Proclamation signatory lived for a time during his American years.
Given the year that this is, the gathering, which starts at 9 a.m. with a wreath laying, will also feature a reading of the Proclamation.
Following the monument service Mass will be celebrated by Fr. Mickey Bancroft at the Rock Hill County Club and this will be followed by a breakfast.
The event will feature two guest speakers, AOH Division 5 President Martin Galvin and Irish Echo columnist Dave Hannigan.
Musical accompaniment will be provided by the Siol na h’Eireann Pipe and Drum band.
For tickets, $35 at the door, $30 in advance, to the event contact Rich Cremmins at 631-846-3106 or Jeff Nisler at 631-385-2425.
