Pic of Day: New York State Senator Pete Harckham commemorated Irish Heritage Month 2023 by honoring three residents from the 40th Senate District: volunteer extraordinaire John Gallagher from Ossining, Regimental Pipe Major and Peekskill resident Joe Brady, and Irish dance teacher Katie Roper Izzo, also from Peekskill. All were honored for their substantial contributions to local, state and national organizations while highlighting Irish cultural traditions. "These three individuals are exemplary figures in our country’s Irish-American population, and I am proud to honor and congratulate them for their tireless efforts in enriching the lives of countless New Yorkers,” said Harckham.
