The Montauk Friends of Erin is looking for more float entries for its 60th Jubilee St. Patrick's Day parade on March 27. Kathy Keller can be called at 631-335-4122 to be included in the parade lineup. There is no charge to enter, but the prize for winning floats is substantial: bragging rights for at least a year.

Tickets are available for the Friends of Erin's annual grand marshal luncheon honoring Marilyn Behan on Friday, March 25, at Gurney's Star Island from noon to 3 p.m. Tickets cost $65 per person and can be had by calling 631-235-3991 or by mailing a check to the Friends of Erin, GM Luncheon, 147 Fairview Avenue, Montauk 11954.
