DEDICATION OF PEACE BENCH IN INDIA
BARRINGTON ROTARY RECOGNIZED AS A 2025 COMMUNITY PARTNER BY THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IN BARRINGTON
Suzanne,
With a passionate mission of “Service Beyond Self” Barrington Rotary is a vibrant group of nearly 60 volunteers who make an immeasurable impact in the Barrington Area. Known as the “Go-to” resource for Volunteer assistance when any local non-profit requires more manpower, Barrington Rotarians dive into service locally and internationally, always judging their efforts by the 4-way test – “Is it the truth, is it fair to all, does it build goodwill and better friendships, and is it beneficial to all! In just the past 6 months they have clocked in over 500 hours of volunteer service on 23 projects and given over $11,000 in donations. Projects include everything from managing parking for Art in the Barn, delivering Meals on Wheels, cleanup along Rt. 14, to working Barrington Giving Day, collecting books and pajamas for local needy families, funding international projects, and
fighting Polio.

For the remainder of the Young/ Sholeen term we will not be scheduling Duty Roster assignments for Fun and Frolic during the meetings. Additionally, we will skip the pull for the $10 Raffle focusing on the White Marble Raffle only. This provides the meeting speakers with adequate time to present and address questions, and allows for some additional time to socialize.
