Local Officials Face Off In St. Patrick’s “Corned Beef For A Cause” Competition

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino (second from right), North Hempstead Town Supervisor Jennifer DeSena (center), Glen Cove Mayor Pamela Donaldson Panzenbeck (second from left), Hempstead Town Supervisor Donald Clavin (left), and Congressman Anthony D’Esposito (right) today faced off in a St. Patrick’s Day “Corned Beef for a Cause” competition to support CoopStrong. The officials each cooked a corned beef dish and were judged by a panel including Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, Nassau County Clerk Maureen O’Connell, and Nassau County Comptroller Elaine Phillips, with Mayor Panzenbeck coming in first place and Supervisor Saladino in second. In the true spirit of St. Patrick, the event raised $5,000 in charitable funds to benefit Cooper Graham, a young Oceanside boy who’s battling a rare cancer.
