about Town Fashion’s Night Out n September 6, the 4th Fashion’s Night Out (FNO), an after-hours shopping extravaganza, offered an even greater showcase of celebrities, designers, and stars for shoppers at thousands of FNO events across the United States. In downtown Barrington, Mia Sorella was part of the action by hosting an exclusive FNO event that went beyond celebrating fashion: a portion of the night’s sales were given directly to Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) in support of Ricky’s Ramblers. “Ricky, an 8-year-old Barrington resident, was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes at the age of four,” said Mary Sirois, owner of Mia Sorella. “Each year since, he and his team, Ricky’s Ramblers, participate in the Ron Santo Walk to Cure Diabetes. One small way we can help is to support the cause with him, and we were not disappointed! Residents came out and shopped the latest fall fashions at Mia Sorella, sipped wines provided by McGonigals, snacked on tasty appetizers from Cooper’s of Barrington, and gave back,” she said. Neighboring merchants, Grassroots and Notice, joined in. Grassroots highlighted its latest fashion lines and served a variety of beer samples provided by McGonigal’s. Notice showcased fall clothing and accessories and offered wine and appetizers provided by Francesca’s Familia. The merchants were able to donate $1,000 to JDRF to support Ricky’s Ramblers while offering residents a night of shopping fun.

Members of the <strong>Barrington</strong> Chapter of the Infant Welfare Society meet in September to discuss chapter<br />

business and plan their upcoming holiday lunch and fundraiser scheduled for December 5 (see details<br />

below). Chapter president, Celeste Jackson (on the far right) offers updates on the chapter’s plans and<br />

upcoming activities, below.<br />

Gratitude for 70 Years of<br />

<strong>Barrington</strong> Support<br />

A message of thanks from Celeste Jackson, IWS chapter president<br />

One of the beautiful things about our community is the generosity of our residents. It is the culmination<br />

of giving of time, support and charitable donations from people in our community that has kept<br />

the <strong>Barrington</strong> Chapter of the Infant Welfare Society going strong for more than 70 years. We are one of<br />

15 chapters of the Auxiliary of the Infant Welfare Society (IWS) who contribute our time, talents, and<br />

resources to insure affordable, quality medical, dental, and counseling services to the working poor of<br />

Chicago. These are people who are only beginning to discover the American dream, people who desire<br />

to have their children become healthy, able adults.<br />

What began as a simple mission of providing safe milk to the infants of immigrant workers<br />

more than 100 years ago has grown to a state-of-the-art facility located at 3600 W. Fullerton in<br />

Chicago. The <strong>Barrington</strong> Chapter of IWS has also evolved. Our members now include women from<br />

various age groups, locations, and lifestyles. We are actively seeking women who would like to<br />

contribute to this worthy cause. In the month of November, our chapter will be paying tribute at The<br />

<strong>Barrington</strong> Area Library to past members who have paved the way for our current members.<br />

The planning of our events is the focus of our monthly meetings. Our events have included grand<br />

galas, teas, fashion shows, and golf outings. Today, our chapter is involved in supporting the clinic in<br />

various ways. We collect items for our resale shop located in the clinic, and collect baby supplies for the<br />

“Healthy Steps” program (that are purchased and donated by Jewel shoppers on a selected day in July).<br />

We are also hosting our fall Coat Drive in conjunction with CD One Price Cleaners in which your donated<br />

coats are cleaned and distributed to the patients of the clinic.<br />

We can’t thank you enough for supporting this worthy cause. If you would like to learn more about<br />

the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago, visit the clinic website at www.infantwelfare.org. For those of you<br />

interested in becoming more involved in the <strong>Barrington</strong> chapter, contact us at: celestejackson@att.net.<br />

December Luncheon Fundraiser<br />

The “Celebrate the Season” IWS holiday luncheon which will take place on Wed., Dec. 5, at the<br />

Concorde Banquet Hall in Kildeer. The luncheon includes silent auction items, boutique shopping and<br />

raffles. Tickets are $45 per person. To request an invitation, email the IWS at: barringtoninfantwelfare@<br />

Each year, more than 200 eighthgraders<br />

from Station and Prairie Middle<br />

Schools participate in Teens for Teens<br />

(T4T), a local, nonprofit group formed<br />

by students for students that encourages<br />

working together to make a<br />

positive impact on other youth through<br />

volunteerism. T4T hosts after-school<br />

and weekend hands-on activities each<br />

month.<br />

This year, T4T kicked-off with a food<br />

<strong>Barrington</strong> Station Middle School students, Ellie Stodola and drive to benefit Hope Alive, the afterschool<br />

program in Chicago. Hope Alive<br />

Sophie Harwood, cover one of the shifts at the Jewel Osco to<br />

collect food the T4T food drive.<br />

provides a safe place for elementary<br />

school children to study, play games,<br />

and interact with their peers after school and throughout the summer. T4T visited Hope Alive<br />

in early October to stock pantry shelves and later in the month to host a Halloween party. The<br />

group also packed food at Feed My Starving Children in September.<br />

In existence for nearly a decade, the T4T program has proven to be an effective means for<br />

<strong>Barrington</strong> students to develop their own volunteer ethic, as well as their leadership and<br />

teamwork skills. Students are actively involved in planning and implementing the group’s<br />

activities. Many former T4T students have continued to be involved in volunteer activities<br />

through high-school and into adulthood.<br />

Holiday Fun<br />

at Lake Geneva<br />

In September of 1940, four teenage friends entered<br />

the Lascaux cave in southern France and<br />

stumbled upon an astonishing, priceless treasure.<br />

Beautifully subtle paintings and engravings<br />

of animals lined the cave walls – highly sophisticated<br />

artwork made by the hands of our early<br />

ancestors almost 20,000 years ago. With their<br />

evocative imagery, the cave paintings of Lascaux<br />

quickly gained recognition as the world’s premier<br />

example of prehistoric art. Lascaux (pronounced<br />

Lass-co) attracted over one million visitors between<br />

1948 and 1963, when the French government<br />

closed the cave to the public in order to<br />

preserve the ancient masterpieces.<br />

Now visitors to Chicago’s Field Museum can<br />

experience the same thrill of discovery felt by<br />

those young cave explorers more than 70 years<br />

ago. On March 20, 2013, the Museum will open Scenes from the Stone Age: The Cave Paintings<br />

of Lascaux, a monumental re-creation of the cave with full-size replicas of paintings, including<br />

some shown for the first time to the public.<br />

The Field Museum is the first North American venue for this much-anticipated exhibition,<br />

organized by the Conseil General de la Dordogne in France. The Field’s showing of the<br />

exhibition runs through September 8, 2013.<br />

Tickets to Scenes from the Stone Age are included in both Discovery and All-<br />

Access passes to the Museum. Discounts are available for Chicago residents. Special<br />

rates are available for tour operators and groups of 15 or more. Call Group<br />

Sales toll-free at 888.FIELD.85 or 888-343-5385. The Field Museum is located at 1400<br />

Blue Star Marker<br />

A Tribute to the Armed Forces<br />

A “Blue Star Memorial Marker” has been placed at the<br />

<strong>Barrington</strong> Area Civil War Enlistment Site, located at the<br />

intersection of Old Sutton and Dundee Roads in <strong>Barrington</strong><br />

Hills. The Council of <strong>Barrington</strong> Garden Clubs and the<br />

Village of <strong>Barrington</strong> Hill’s joint application was accepted<br />

for the marker by the National Garden Clubs. The program<br />

was established as a way to pay tribute to, “All who have<br />

served, are serving and will serve.” A formal dedication<br />

ceremony is planned for the 2013 in the spring. The photo<br />

was provided by Anna Paul, the Planning, Zoning and<br />

Information Specialist for the Village of <strong>Barrington</strong> Hills.<br />

Million Dollar Man<br />

PHOTOS: Susan McConnell<br />

Bike riding is a popular sport and pastime for many <strong>Barrington</strong> residents. Yet for one man,<br />

riding has become a mission to help others. In September 2012, <strong>Barrington</strong> resident Bob Lee<br />

embarked on his third bike ride to raise money and awareness for three causes: cancer, ALS<br />

and hospice care. Lee’s goal was to achieve $1 million in fundraising proceeds that will be split evenly<br />

between his three causes for much-needed research dollars and for hospice, advance care planning<br />

program support. Like his previous treks, this will be a solo ride with the exception of occasionally<br />

being joined by local groups and family members. On this ride, <strong>Barrington</strong> friends who joined Lee on<br />

his West Coast RIDE include Kim Duchossois, Beth Raseman and Peter Yankala. Lee credits his family<br />

for their support of his unique effort to make a difference.<br />

Beginning in Vancouver, B.C., the 70-year-old humanitarian followed the<br />

western coast of the country to Mexico, and then returned to California to<br />

cross the finish line in San Diego – the starting point of his first RIDE. On<br />

October 29, Lee arrived home to <strong>Barrington</strong>, having completed over 12,000<br />

miles around the perimeter of the United States with his three RIDES.<br />

As of press time, Lee has raised $582,539.49. Yet, the RIDE needs just<br />

$100,000 to complete its million dollar goal. All donations up to the $100,000<br />

goal will unlock “Pacesetter Matching Funds” that add two additional dollars<br />

for every dollar donated. Lee has set a Dec. 15, 2012 deadline so he can write<br />

checks to his stated charities at the end of this year.<br />

The Riding Club of <strong>Barrington</strong> Hills<br />

Celebrates Diamond Jubilee<br />

On Saturday, Sept. 22, members and friends of the Riding Club of <strong>Barrington</strong> Hills (RCBH)<br />

gathered to celebrate the organization’s 75th anniversary at a gala, “Diamond Jubilee – An Evening<br />

Under the Stars” that was held in <strong>Barrington</strong> Hills. The RCBH was founded in 1937 and later<br />

chartered in 1947. The founding of the RCBH is associated with the making and preserving of<br />

riding trails by residents throughout <strong>Barrington</strong> Hills, which was incorporated 25 years after the<br />

club was formed.<br />

The gala evening was dedicated to those early residents who, through their foresight, formed<br />

the foundation for the community as it is known today. The evening included remarks by RCBH<br />

President, Matt Yetarian, followed by Father Jerome’s invocation, and a festive and delicious dinner<br />

and dessert buffet. A silent auction was followed by entertainment in the cocktail lounge area<br />

of the event.<br />
