NW/P St Patrick's Day Parade Committee Names Grand Marshall '19

From the Northern Westchester-Putnam St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee

On Friday, February 1, 2019 the Northern-Westchester Putnam St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee had their Grand Marshal Installation Dinner where they inducted Carmel resident Bill Dowling to be the Grand Marshal for the 43 rd Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

Endowed with a natural love and respect for his Irish heritage, Bill was an active member of the Emerald Association of Putnam County and the West-Put Gaels, where he was selected Gael of the Year in 1995. He also served on the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade Committee for several years.

Bill has been an active member of Our Lady of the Lakes Knights of Columbus 6318 since 1975, where he served as Inside Guard, Outside Guard, Lector and Sergeant-at-Arms; he also served on the Board of Directors for many years. He has devoted many years to the Schmidt-Tangredi Squires, our local chapter of the Knights of Columbus youth group, involving boys 13 to 17 years of age.

Bill is looking forward to marching down Route 6 with his family on parade day.

Please come out and celebrate Irish heritage and being an American at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Sunday, March 10th in Mahopac, NY. For more information and to register to march in the parade visit our website at www.saintpatricksdayparade.net.
