Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr. (R-Merrick) recently welcomed Freeport resident Kathleen Keating to the State Capitol in Albany. Senator Fuschillo invited Ms. Keating to Albany to recognize her for being named Ms. New York Senior America 2011.

        The Ms. Senior America pageant is an annual event designed to showcase the talents and inner beauty of women ages 60 and over. Kathleen Keating was chosen for the honor among women from all across New York State to serve as a role model of the dignity, maturity, and inner beauty of all senior Americans.
