Celebrate our Differences - 2007

Character Counts! in the Barrington Area is pleased to announce our new campaign - Celebrate our Differences. Our community already has a wide array of organizations that promote tolerance, a school district that encourages diversity, and restaurants and businesses that provide a wealth of services to all residents and visitors. It is in this spirit that we are excited to provide an afternoon of fun activities for all! Click Here for information about our Barrington Days Activities.

Beginning in 2001, Character Counts! in the Barrington Area has held an annual Awards Ceremony acknowledging six deserving community members who exhibit the characteristics of CARING, CITIZENSHIP, FAIRNESS, RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, and TRUSTWORTHINESS. The ceremony celebrates the many behind-the-scenes expressions of character that take place every day in our community.
