HOLIDAY FUN WITH THE NEWCOMERS
Article and Photos by Doreen

December is always a special month with friends, family and
holidays to celebrate. Newcomers celebrate
the friendships we have made every month at our luncheons. This luncheon was extra special as we were
fortunate to have author Kathy McKeon as our guest speaker and her husband
Seamus McKeon in attendance.
Kathy McKeon was a 19-year old Irish immigrant, newly
arrived in New Your City, when Jacqueline Kennedy hired her as a personal
assistant. This was in 1964, just nine
months after JFK’s assassination. It was
fascinating to hear about her life’s journey and her experiences with the
Kennedy family.
After lunch we had drawings for some great gifts from our
sponsors. We can’t thank them enough for
their generosity!
