honored to welcome Ambassador Mulhall to
Charlotte. The Ambassador truly believes in the
work Allegro is doing throughout our community.
As a country, Ireland is very advanced in how they
view and work with those living with disabilities. As
one of the first European countries to host the
Special Olympics, the Ambassador is looking forward
to seeing Allegro’s mission first-hand during
his trip to Charlotte in January.
Ambassador Mulhall is also looking forward to
making strong connections with Charlotte business
