Quiz Night is March 3

The next WSI Quiz Night begins at 7PM Tues., March 3, at Quigley’s Irish Pub in downtown Naperville. That’s when the latest WSI collectible scarves will be available for $5 each.

Irish Mass at St. Thomas the Apostle

Another event, free of charge, hosted by the West Suburban Irish will be an Irish Mass on March 11, with a Soda Bread Reception to follow. The Irish Mass will be held at St. Thomas the Apostle Church in Naperville.

St. Patrick’s Parade is March 14

The 22nd Annual St. Patrick’s Parade will begin at 10AM on March 14 in downtown Naperville. Recently members of the West Suburban Irish named Brian Cunningham, as the 2015 Grand Marshall.
Registration is now in progress. The popular parade is always a great time for local politicians and elected officials to showcase their support and community spirit.
With 33 candidates running to serve on local governing bodies in the April 7 Consolidated Election, likely everybody will be Irish during the parade.

Rotary Sunrise St. Paddy’s Day 5K

In addition, the Rotary Club of Naperville/Sunrise will host its annual St. Paddy’ Day 5K at 8AM Sat., March 14. Registration for the downtown Naperville race, the first of the season, is now in progress.

All proceeds from WSI fundraising festivities will go to support the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. For more information, visit www.wsirish.org.
