SCRANTON, Pa. (CBS) Hillary Clinton will be speaking at a St. Patricks Day event in Scranton next week, according to reports.

The former Democratic presidential candidate will be the keynote speaker for the Society of Irish Womens annual dinner on March 17, according toThe Times-Tribune of Scranton.

Members of the Irish womens group say Clinton was a great choice because she exemplifies what they stand for as strong women. They anticipate a sell-out event, thanks to her involvement.

For her to come to Scranton and recognize women here 500 women like her (when) she could be anywhere in the world, its just incredible, Tracy Doherty, one of the societys founding members told The Times-Tribune of Scranton.

Clintons father grew up in Scranton, and she reportedly spent summers at the familys cottage at Lake Winola.
