I was happy to present a citation to Mrs. Rosemary Timoney and the Timoney Irish Dancers before their spring recital this past Sunday at the Knights of Columbus Flaherty Council 3128 in Glenside.

After moving to the United States from Ireland when she was young, Mrs. Timoney dedicated her life to the dance art of her homeland and opened Timoney Irish Dancers where she and her other dance teachers have been teaching Irish dance for 60 years.

Sunday was Mrs. Timoney's birthday and it was a special honor to present her with the acknowledgement on such a wonderful occasion. Happy Birthday Mrs. Timoney and congratulations on 60 years of Timoney Irish Dancers.

Last week I joined my colleagues from local, county, state and federal government along with community members and our host, SPS Technologies, to officially break ground on their new state of the art facility on the same grounds as the building that burnt down in Glenside.
It is hard to believe that a little over a year ago we were handling the immediate aftermath of this devastating fire. SPS Technologies could have built their new building elsewhere, leaving behind only a memory of the factory that has been a part of the community for 123 years, but they decided to stay, rebuild and give back.
I look forward to seeing all of the progress and to return again for a ribbon cutting and tour once complete.
