Grab your picnic basket, wine, blanket, family and friends and get ready for the Concert for Conservation, August 25th at Under the Tall Oaks in Barrington Hills.  For those car enthusiasts, this year we are hosting a meet and greet car and bicycle tour prior to the concert.  Bring your car or bike to the Foundry in Barrington for some socializing before the concert.  Bicycles will promptly leave at 2:00pm and cars will leave at 2:30pm to tour past the properties that BACT works so hard to protect.  The tour will end at the concert venue where ticket holders will set up their picnics.

CROP Hunger Walk funds benefit the overall work and ministry of Church World Service.  And, it’s important to note that 25 percent of funds raised in Barrington stays in our area benefiting the Northern Illinois Food Bank, the FISH Food Pantry–Carpentersville, BACOA Meals with Wheels, Wauconda-Island Lake Food Pantry, Project HOPE, and the People in Need program of the Barrington Area Ministerial Association

“There is so much need in the world, participating in CROP Walk is something positive I can do to fight the injustice that is hunger, here and abroad. We invite you to walk or donate to be a part of the change, to help build a world where there is enough for all,” invites Linda Osikowicz, this year’s chairperson.
