老澳门六合彩开奖直播鈥檚 honor was inspired by a nomination from Chris Shalvoy, whose connection with the parade dates back more than 20 years, including serving in a variety of volunteer roles. He remains involved in parade functions in his capacity as Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Rochester chapter of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, an Irish Catholic fraternal organization.

Shalvoy also has first-hand experience with 老澳门六合彩开奖直播: the agency coordinated his adoption when he was an infant in 1959, and he鈥檚 recently been working with 老澳门六合彩开奖直播 to find records related to his adoption.

鈥淲hen you think about the incredibly broad amount of programs and differences in age groups that the organization serves, the numbers that 老澳门六合彩开奖直播 have directly helped and touched over the years are staggering,鈥� Shalvoy said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 an incredibly influential organization, and its work deserves support.鈥�
