Slàinte to the Grand Marshal Kevin J. Conway, who gave a tremendous uplifting speech.
Grand Marshal Conway, a classy and authentic leader, announced that he would be handing off his shillelagh to the aides in the parade so they could lead it, and he would bring it home to the end.
The Grand Council and its Affiliated Organizations look forward to going up fifth Ave with the esteemed 2023 Grand Marshal and his aides.
