Our Stories

Barrington Rotary Club Expands Nutrition Efforts in Guatemala with Okara Innovation

The Barrington Rotary Club continues its unwavering commitment to fighting childhood malnutrition in Guatemala, building on the success of the mechanical cow project—a sustainable initiative that transforms soybeans into vital sources of nutrition for vulnerable communities, started by beloved BRC member Suzanne Gibson in 2011. This spring, Rotarians Mary Holcomb and Virginia Menzimer traveled to Guatemala to deepen this mission, connecting with 20 municipal committees, including 10 new ones, to share progress and expand the program’s impact through a promising byproduct: okara.

Barrington Rotary Club Supports Go Green Barrington at Art Festival

Driven by a deep commitment to environmental sustainability, the Barrington Rotary Club once again partnered with Go Green Barrington and the Village of Barrington to support waste management efforts at the 16th Annual Barrington Art Festival.

Recognizing the importance of keeping recyclables out of landfills, Rotary volunteers worked hands-on throughout the event—guiding attendees on how to sort their waste correctly and ensuring that every item collected made its way to the appropriate destination: compost, recycling, or landfill.

This mindful approach to both collection and disposal reflects our belief that small, thoughtful actions lead to lasting change. We also strongly believe in lending support to inspired and like-minded organizations in our community. We’re proud to help protect our planet, one bin at a time, and we look forward to continuing this vital work in partnership with Go Green and the Village.

 

The Barrington Rotary Club, in partnership with the Barrington Area Library, recently hosted a community-focused Mental Health Fair aimed at raising awareness and connecting residents with valuable mental health resources. A highlight of the event was a dynamic panel discussion featuring NAMI educator Teri Latter, licensed clinical psychologist Maddie Burbank, and award-winning journalist and author Meg Kissinger.
