Regional Director, Marjorie Muldowney, warmly welcomed everyone and congratulated this year's very special honorees, AIF National Board Director Pauline Ryan and her husband, John Ryan of Macrovision.

The Ryans have been selected as the 2008 recipients of the Distinguished Leadership Award. Dinner Chair, Jon Folan, kept the group smiling with his legendary charm and sense of fun. He was joined by fellow National Board Directors, Bart Murphy and his wife, Eileen, and Bill Walsh.

Vice-Consul Una Fannon from the Irish Consulate attended the gathering. Longtime supporters and friends of the fund, Kevin O'Brien, Frank Sinnott and Sheila Kiernan were there too. Nancy and Bill Murphy joined in the fun as did Erin Ebeling, Maureen Conners and Daniel & Rita O'Hara. Ray and Marie O'Flaherty enjoyed the party along with Celine Kenneally, Maryanne Murray and Peter Walsh.

See you at The St. Francis!
