Co. Leitrim Society of New York: St. Patrick Day Ball 1966

11 Mar 1966: With its roots stretching back to 1895, The County Leitrim Society of New York has long supported emigrants from the county to the New York area, while still maintaining close ties with family and friends back home.

Beyond charitable endeavors, the biggest social event of the year has always been the annual St Patrick’s Day ball.

Pictured here is 1966 ball, which was held at the Hotel Commodore in Manhattan, New York City.
