Club Site Sponsors Speaker/Program Summary: Our meeting was held at the Barrington Community Scout Cabin which was, of course, the topic of the program. David Chidley, executive director of the facility, proudly outlined the Cabin's 74 year history of providing local youth groups with a safe, secure, convenient meeting

2 place. Built in l934 and operated by volunteers ever since, the Cabin is one of only a few similar, volunteer-run operations in the United States. Constructed during the Depression, the Cabin's volunteer list is a Who's Who of early Barrington. Prominent among its supporters was our own Harold Lipofsky who actually helped carve one of the lighting fixtures. Today the Cabin averages about 200 meetings per year and is open to all Barrington clubs. The Barrington Noon Rotary has been a supporter for many years. (Just a note.perhaps it was the acoustics, perhaps the mood of a rainy day, but our singing was superb and on tune!) Please visit our Site Sponsors. To place your ad click here.

3 Fun & Frolics: Many members gave correct answers to John Gillett's quiz questions; however, dollars were collected from everyone, regardless of our super knowledge. Drawing: Don Arndtsen won the $10.00 December LaMontagne picked the clear marble. The pot rolls over and I think it is now worth more than $ with about 16 marbles left.
