Dear Friend of Special People:
The 38th County Clare Association of Chicago “Day for Special People” is scheduled to take place at Chicago Gaelic Park, located at 6119 W. 147th St., Oak Forest, IL, on Sunday, June 7, 2026. Since its inception, this cherished event has begun with a 10:00 AM Mass dedicated to honoring those whom God has made “Special.” .  A buffet Irish breakfast will follow, during which we will hold the Grand Raffle. Our “special guests” will be entered in this raffle upon entering the park. If their name is called, they will be able to pick a prize of their choice from a wide variety of wonderful prizes ranging from electronics, sports equipment, games, large stuffed animals, etc.  Everything is free to our Special Guests; they only need to register to participate in this day.  There will be a nominal charge for breakfast to those other than our “special guests,”

Following the breakfast and Grand Raffle, our guests are invited to play games on the patio for which they will receive a maximum of 4 prizes of their choice selected from tables laden with assorted prizes.

All of our Special Guests must register to participate in the day.
