Unateresa Gormley, Cultural Director and her Executive Board, Ann Marie Mulholland, Karen Murphy and Bridget O'Brien are hard at work organizing the New York event.  There are 16 fabulous Young Rose's and Ambassadors, representatives of Ireland's 32 counties to compete in the regional competition.    The competition is to be held at the Empire City at Yonkers Raceway (Our Sponsoring Partner) on April 30 and is one of 70 Rose Centers across the world that will be participating in this prestigious competition.  The New York Rose will be selected on Sunday, April 30, at Yonkers Raceway. (All applicants must have contributed non-career volunteer service to their communities.)

The winner will then participate with the other 70 center representatives to be held in Ireland  to represent their region at the International Rose of Tralee Festival in Tralee on August . The winner, chosen from 32 competitors from all across the globe, will be selected for her personality and her ability to serve as the festival's ambassador.

The Rose of Tralee, is one of Ireland's largest and longest running festivals.
"A Rose reflects the intelligence, compassion and independence of modern Irish women," says Unateresa Gormley, who is heading up the selection efforts in the tri-state area.

The first Rose of Tralee festival began in 1959 but this year's festival will be even more special as it is one of the biggest events of this year's The Gathering Ireland 2015.
