Sister Anita Sullivan
Sister Anita Sullivan is proud of her Irish heritage and honored to serve as Grand Marshal of the Leavenworth St. Patrick's Day Parade.
Her father was from Eyeries, Ireland, and her mother from Castletown-Bearhaven, County Cork. They immigrated to the United States around the turn of the century, settling in Butte, Montana, where her father worked in the copper mines. Sister Anita is first generation Irish in the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth Community.
She has visited Ireland several times and treasures both its beautiful green landscape and the warmth and friendliness of its people. This year, she celebrates her 75th Jubilee as a Sister of Charity. She served more than 14 years in the Leavenworth Catholic school system and continues to cherish her religious Community and prayer life.
Sister Anita is deeply grateful for the honor and proud to celebrate her Irish roots with the Leavenworth community.
Reminder
No ALCOHOL is permitted in the parade. Drinking or drunk drivers will NOT be tolerated. Leavenworth PD has told us they INTEND TO WALK THE LANES OF THE PARADE LINEUP to REMIND folks of these rules. City, County and State laws WILL be enforced for those in violation.
We realize this IS a "festive day" for the Irish at heart, but P-L-E-A-S-E remember these simple rules and also REMIND fellow participants of the same. OPEN CONTAINER VIOLATIONS CARRY A FINE IN EXCESS OF $200, so DON'T ruin your day or jeopardize your State driving privileges by violating these two or ANY of the previously agreed upon rules.
Thanks Again for your continued support and cooperation
Looking forward to seeing you March 17th in the 43rd Annual Parade!!
ERIN GO BRAGH!!
