[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_text_separator title=”Welcome to This Day in Barrington History” title_align=”separator_align_left”][vc_column_text]Welcome to January 30th and Day 29 of 365 in Barrington, Illinois! You’ll find our stories of the day – past, present & future (events) – right here on today’s DailyPage.
Because every day has its own rhythm, we’re sharing a song of the day here at 365Barrington.com.
On this day, January 30th in 1975, The Bee Gees began recording ‘Jive Talkin’, which became their second US chart topper and No.5 UK hit. Barry Gibb’s inspiration for the song came when his wife commented on the sound their car made while crossing a bridge over Biscayne Bay into Miami. She noted, “It’s our drive talkin’.” The song’s rhythm was modelled after the sound their car made crossing the Julia Tuttle Causeway each day from Biscayne Bay to Criteria Studios in Miami.
I don’t know about you, but’s a rhythm that takes me WAY BACK! I remember this record playing in our family room while my brother and I played “Hot Lava” on the couch, record player spinning nearby. Pretty sure the Neil Diamond and Kenny Rogers records were also within reach. Wow, dad, you were pretty cool back in the 70’s! 😉 We don’t have a picture, but it’s a snapshot that’s lives in my mental photo album.
Do you remember where you were in place and time when you first heard Jive Talkin’?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_text_separator title=”Song of the Day” title_align=”separator_align_left”][vc_column_text]

🌟 Employee Spotlight: Strength, Resilience and Determination 🌟
We are beyond proud to celebrate one of our incredible employees, Recreation Supervisor Nicole, who has shown what true perseverance looks like! 💪
After facing a serious injury during her training for the Chicago Marathon, one that would have caused many to give up, she refused to quit. Through hard work, courage and an unbreakable spirit, she not only regained her strength - but went on run AND finish the Chicago Marathon! 🏃♀️🏅
Her journey reminds us all that no obstacle is too great when you have heart, determination, and belief in yourself. She embodies everything we value at Barrington Park District- resilience, positivity and the drive to keep moving forward.
Please join us in congratulating her on this amazing accomplishment! 👏❤️

Today we went around the neighborhood to talk face-to-face about the national blood shortage—and the myths that stop people from donating.
We asked neighbors to fill out our quick survey 📝 and share why they might hesitate to donate 💉. From iron levels to fear of needles, we’re busting misconceptions one doorstep at a time 💪❤️.
Every convo counts. Every myth we bust = more lives saved 🙌
