Message from Barrington Breakfast Rotary on MLK Day
In celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the Barrington Breakfast Rotary reminds us to remember that discrimination is only allowed to flourish if we all look the other way. If we do not use every opportunity to invite someone in, to welcome someone, to reach out, then we allow discrimination to grow. It can be frightening to be open to someone that thinks differently, looks different, has a different history or lifestyle. We must meet people where they are and welcome them. The door to Rotary Club is open to all and everyone is invited to take a seat at the table.
