Irish Echo Labor 10 Awards Program
Yonkers Hibernian Honored at Labor Awards Ceremony Sponsored by
Irish Echo Newspaper

| Sinn Fein Pres. Gerry Adams, David Miller, LiUNA Pres. Terry O'Sullivan & John Sullivan |
The Irish
have a proud and storied history when it comes to America’s Labor movement. Indeed, whenever and wherever there was a struggle
for workers rights, the Irish were there, dating back to the early days of the Pennsylvania
Coal Miners Unions to the present day efforts to secure living wages and
pension protections for America’s workforce.

The Irish
Echo newspaper held its “Irish Labor 10” Awards ceremony in Manhattan on
September 25th to celebrate today’s Irish Labor leaders, as well as
to remember those workers and leaders of the labor movement in the past whose
struggles and sacrifices have given all of us certain workplace rights that we
have come to enjoy today.

2nd ANNUAL MAMA FALL STREET FESTIVAL 2012
The 2nd Annual McLean Avenue Merchant’s Association Fall Festival 2012
 |
| A tremendous crowd fills McLean Ave. along the "Emerald Mile" in Yonkers |
The McLean Avenue Merchant’s Association held its 2nd Annual Fall Street Festival on September 15th, and the Myles Scully Division was there to enjoy the tremendous day as over 10,000 people crowded along the “Emerald Mile” in Yonkers.
 |
| The festival has grown tremendously in only its second year |
Incredibly, in only its second year, the festival has grown from a one-time experiment to a guaranteed blockbuster yearly event that is fun for the whole family. There was something there for everyone; rides, games, crafts, music, dancing and don’t forget the raffle tickets. There was even an Irish sausage and cannoli eating contest!
 |
| Sign up here! The Division One recruitment table |
The A.O.H. of Yonkers had an information and recruiting booth located near the east end of the festival, and we are proud to say that we were successful in signing up nearly a dozen new members! It was also wonderful to see all of our friends and supporters over the years stop by our tent and say hello. We were even giving away free refrigerator magnets emblazoned with our newly designed Division One Logo.
 |
| Everyone loved the new Division One logo magnets! |
The officers and members of Division One would like to congratulate The McLean Avenue Merchant’s Association for putting on such a wonderful day! Division One is a proud and enthusiastic supporter of MAMA. Special thanks to brother Sean McEvoy, owner of Danny Mac’s Tavern, who helped us with our location and setup. We have learned in a very short amount of time that we can always count on Sean!
