| Colleen Tully 2008 Philadelphia Rose |
September 2008
Hello everyone!
I don’t think I have stopped smiling
since being selected as your Rose in
June! Philadelphia’s Rose Selection was
such a magical night, and I would like
to take this opportunity to introduce
myself to all of you.
.
It was such an incredible honor to
represent Philadelphia in Tralee this
August. I hope I was able to make all
of you proud. Tralee welcomed all of
the Roses with open arms, and we had
the time of our lives! It was such an
exciting week full of celebrations,
appearances, and parades. I now have
many new friends from all over the
world!
I would like to thank all of you for
supporting me while I was in Tralee. It
was wonderful to know that so many
of you were watching from home! I
also would like to thank my family. It
was extra special being with you in
Tralee, and it would not have been the
same without you.
Lastly, I would like to extend a huge
thank you to everyone at the Irish
Immigration Center for providing me
with the opportunity to represent you.
I am delighted to be working with all
of you, and I look forward to meeting
as many of you as possible during the
coming year! This is going to be a
wonderful year, and I am so excited to
be a part of it as your Philadelphia
Rose!
Love,
Colleen
