The 2010 St Patrick's Parade March 14, 2010 is dedicated to our friend
Former City Clerk Kathy Janeczek
We will miss you each year as we go forward
The 2010 dedication written by LAOH Member and Parade

Honorary Irishman of
the Year 2006, Kathy Janeczek addresses the crowd at the Chamber's St. Patrick
Day's Breakfast
On September 3, 2009, the
City of Kingston and the community at large, including the A.O.H., lost a good
friend. She was not of Irish heritage, though she was named Honorary Irishman of
the year in 2006 by the Ulster County Chamber of Commerce. She was genuine,
caring, ethical, and loyal. She was dedicated to her family, her community, her
job, her friends, and her faith.
Kathy Janeczek was devoted to her city,
Kingston, where she was born and
raised. Following her graduation from John A. Coleman High School in 1972, she
attended Ulster County Community College and, in 1979, received a Bachelor of
Science Degree in political science from SUNY Brockport. She had several
positions at George Washington University School of Business and Public
Management. In 1991, she earned a Masters Degree in higher education
administration from George
Washington
University
and continued her studies in its doctoral education program until 1993.
In 1995, Kathy returned to her much-loved hometown as the director of the
Kingston Office of Community Development. In November 1996, she was appointed
Kingston City Clerk. This could easily have been a nine-to-five job but Kathy
would never have been happy with that. She was a tireless volunteer and served
as liaison for many community groups. It was in this capacity that we, the A.O.H.,
got to know her as she smoothed the way for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and the
Hooley on the Hudson
(tm). She was a very good friend to all of us and we miss her.
Kathy’s love for her community was exhibited through her desire to work in many
diverse ways in numerous activities where she touched hearts and minds. A member
of several local advisory boards, she was also a hands-on volunteer for the
Clinton Avenue Methodist Church soup kitchen, the Hudson Valley AIDS auction,
the Kingston Chapter of the NAACP, and the John A. Coleman High School Hall of
Fame committee. In her much too short fifty-five years of life, she gave more
than many of us do in a much longer life span. She lived her life passionately
and intensely, and was an inspiration to all.
With a deep sense of loss, but pride in knowing her, we dedicate the 2010 St.
Patrick’s Day parade to the memory of our dear friend and loyal supporter, Kathy
Janeczek.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis.
(May
her faithful soul be at God’s right hand)
