BENEFIT FOR FAMILY MEMBER OF
RET. P.O. BRENDAN "JOE" Mc GARRY

Dear Friends, 

 
On Oct. 16, 2008 at Mulcahy's in Wantagh from 7-11 PM The New York Shields Pipes & Drums will be holding a benefit for the child of PFC Daniel Fuentes, US ARMY.  Danny was killed in Iraq on April 6, 2007 while his fiance, Emma McGarry, was pregnant with their child. Things being what they are, she needs some financial help.

A donation of $50 per person is requested for an open bar, food, DJ (thanks to Andy Greco, Transit SIU, who is donating his services) and an appearance by the New York Shields Pipe & Drums and more!

One of the reasons that the band is involved is that Emma McGarry's father is one of our members and a very special individual
Brendan "Joe" McGarry.  Joe and his wife Kristine have opened their home to literally hundreds of foster children through the years and have adopted some of the foster children that have passed through their home including those with physical handicaps.

In his work on the job, Joe was a PBA delegate, POPPA (Police Officer Providing Peer Assistance), President NYSFOP Transit Police Memorial Lodge and NYS FOP VP Sector 4. As you can see, Joe and his family are pretty special people and we are doing our best to help them.

Any problems, questions or comments, please send to my E-mail WMCMIL5317@aol.com


Thanks Bill McMillen
