WSI Email Communications - West Suburban Irish

Hello everyone,

The mission of the West Suburban Irish is to celebrate and promote Irish culture — and what better way to live that mission than by traveling to Ireland together in 2026.

We’re excited to share that WSI is partnering with CIE Tours and Patti Powers of P. S. Travel Inc. to offer several wonderful tour options. To help you explore these opportunities, we’re hosting a special meet‑and‑greet event on May 19, 2026, at the VFW in Naperville.

During the event, Patti and Roger from CIE Tours will give a presentation and lead a Q&A session so you can learn more about the itineraries, accommodations, and overall travel experience.

We’d also love your input. Please take a moment to complete our survey — your feedback will help us shape an unforgettable Irish adventure for our members and friends.
You’re welcome to download any or all of the tour documents included in the survey.
