The Art in the Barn is an annual fundraising event sponsored by the Volunteer Auxiliary of Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital.

The Barrington Rotary Club has historically supported Advocate Good Shepherd by volunteering to direct traffic and assist with parking on the hospital grounds on the last two weekend days of September.  Visitors often number over 4000 not counting children under 12.  The 50+ years event has become a community celebration with art, music, performances and food/ beverages.

1st Thursday Breakfast Meeting for Barrington Rotary Club.  8:15AM hard stop.

BRC luncheon meeting at the Wild Onion Pub. Registration NOT required.

Plastic You Can't See, Everywhere You Look--Microplastics are turning up in Illinois's rivers, lakes, and streams — and a new statewide survey found them at 100% of sites tested, from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi. Join Emily Kowalski, co-author of Environment Illinois's groundbreaking report Microplastic in Illinois, for an eye-opening 45-minute talk on what's really flowing through our waterways, how it gets there, and what we can do about it. Come learn how something smaller than a grain of rice is reshaping Illinois's environment — and what it means for our water, wildlife, and all of us. This event is co-sponsored by Rotary, BALibrary, Flint Creek Spring Creek Watersheds Partnership, and Go Green Barrington.  Register at this link: https://balibrary.librarycalendar.com/event/microplastics-water-256628
