We are honored to host Marianne Bolger, Consul General of Ireland in San Francisco, during her visit to Portland. This is a rare opportunity to meet the Consul General, hear her perspective, ask questions, and share your own experiences of the Irish community here. Members will enjoy a complimentary glass of wine, light food, and live Irish music to close the evening.

We are pleased to welcome Caron McMahon, President, Irish Heritage Club of Seattle. Caron will share the story of Seattle’s thriving Irish community, including some of the ideas and initiatives that have helped bring people together and make their organization so successful. This will be an opportunity to speak with Caron, exchange ideas, and tell us what you would like to see Irish Network Portland offer in the future.
