Assemblyman Brian Curran (Lynbrook-21st AD) recently hosted his annual Women of Distinction event to recognize women from the community who have gone above and beyond the call of civic engagement and outreach to make Nassau County and the 21st Assembly District a better place to live, work and raise a family. This year’s honorees from Rockville Centre (RVC) are Keely Collins, Bonnie Dreska, Ann Marie Myatt, Betty Proper, Eileen O’Sullivan, and Suzanne Sullivan; and from South Hempstead, Bridget Hunter. All were recognized and received n official New York State Assembly Proclamation from Curran for their work on the RVC St. Patrick’s Parade Committee, and were given kind words from local elected officials including Town of Hempstead Supervisor Kate Murray and Town of Hempstead Senior Councilman Anthony J. Santino. Honorees and their families attended the ceremony.

Members of the RVC St. Patrick’s Parade Committee are Ann Marie Myatt, Keely Collins, Bonnie Dreska, Betty Proper, Suzanne Sullivan, Kathy Schwarting from East Rockaway, Catherine Muscente from Baldwin, and Eileen O’Sullivan.

“The selflessness Keely, Bonnie, Ann Marie, Betty, Eileen, Suzanne, and Bridget have shown RVC and South Hempstead are uplifting examples of devotion to our area and residents. It is my honor to show them this small token of recognition for the hard work and dedication they have shown to our community,” said Curran. “We are very lucky to have them as our friends and neighbors. My special thanks go to their families, who have allowed their loved ones to spend so much time caring for others.”
