| Grand Marshal William Harrington and his Aides at the Yonkers City Hall |
South Broadway was a sea of green this past
weekend as the City of Yonkers held its 58th Annual St. Patrick’s
Day Parade, and members of A.O.H. Division One were well honored and
represented throughout the day’s festivities.
 |
| 2013 Aides Ronan O'Brien, Ken O'Brien, and Joseph Hallinan |
The
Division was proud to claim three of the eight Aides to Grand Marshal William
Harrington. Ronan O’Brien, Joseph
Hallinan, and Kenneth O’Brien all were honored as Aides this year, which is
probably the highest one year number of Hibernians to be so honored in the parade’s
history. “The AOH plays an important
role in the Yonkers Irish Community, and to have three Aides in one parade shows the impact that our membership is
having.” said Division One President Kevin Ellis. “What a wonderful honor for Ronan, Joe, Ken and their families, the
entire membership is beaming with pride today!”
The
day started out chilly, with temperatures hovering near freezing, but the
midday sun warmed everyone up enough to make this day enjoyable for everyone.

| New for 2013: The Division One Parade Pocket Badge! |
Division members were excited to debut our new
AOH Pocket Badges that were delivered just in time for the parade marching
season. We have received many
compliments on how good they looked while marching!
To top it all off, Division One was
awarded the Parade Chairman’s Marching Trophy for 2013!
The
membership would like to congratulate Larry McCrudden, Jean Tickell, and the
entire Yonkers Parade Committee for an outstanding job this year! Thanks for keeping this wonderful tradition
alive!
