Barrington Volunteers Singled Out

Barrington thanked the town's volunteers again last week for their service on 33 boards, commissions and committees. They were served a pasta dinner in the cafeteria at Barrington High School backed with music by a high school jazz quintet.

Approximately 80 of the 125 or so volunteers were expected to attend, said to Town Councilor Cynthia Coyne, who served as emcee and coordinator. New volunteers and 5-year and 10-year volunteers were singled out for special recognition.

Town Council President June Speakman and Town Manager Peter DeAngelis Jr. made remarks. Longtime volunteer Allan Klepper, who serves currently as the chairman of the board of the Bristol County Water Authority, read an original poem on volunteerism titled “My Mistress.”
