Events

Our service project this month will be "Barrington Reads."  In the past, our club members have read a book to elementary students at the various Barrington elementary schools.   This yearly program was interrupted during Covid, but is being re-started this year.  
 

This year, we will read a book on Friday, February 23 around 9:00 am.  The District chooses the book and all of the classrooms will have the same book read to them.  This is a very satisfying project.  We usually have 2 Rotary members as a reader at each elementary school in the District.  
If you have questions, Rotarian Dan Naranjo is coordinating and his email is:    dan.naranjo@comcast.net.

My name is Dr. John Mannelly and I am excited to serve the Barrington community! I was born in southern California and then spent my formative years in Minden, Nevada near the Reno-Lake Tahoe area. I received my undergraduate degree in biology from the University of Nevada. I continued my education and received my DDS degree from the University of Southern California Ostrow School of Dentistry. I received an excellent wide-ranging education in the many facets of dentistry. While at USC, I had the pleasure of serving the community at places such as the Union Rescue Mission, the USC Mobile Dental Clinic, and the dental clinic at LAC+USC Medical Center.
