On Saturday, April 21st, Kelly Gaetano was chosen as the 2012 Texas Rose of Tralee. We congratulate Kelly and the Rose Committee for another very successful selection. Kelly lives in Austin and was the 2011 Austin Rose. The IAS is assisting Kelly’s home organization, the Celtic Cowboys, in a Wine & Roses to be held on May 21, 2012 in Austin. More details are forthcoming. We hope that many IAS members will be able to take the quick trip to Austin to help support Kelly and the Celtic Cowboys in this endeavor. Kelly leaves at the end of May for Regionals to be held in Portlaoise from May 30 – June 3. We wish Kelly the best in Portlaoise and then Tralee.
