We were going to stop by your offices at Village Hall today to update you on some important matters, but we remembered you’re not open on Fridays. Since Monday is President’s Day, we assume you’ll be back Tuesday, but we don’t believe we should wait that long to inform you of some corrections to recent BACOG news.
Last Wednesday, The Observer published a link to a Barrington Courier-Review article devoted to BACOG’s involvement in a resident survey. The article is titled “Healthier Barrington Survey to address groundwater questions,” and we’d like to offer some corrections.
First, the BACOG credited member photo used in the article is out of date as anyone can clearly see:
Frank Munao, pictured second from right, is no longer president of South Barrington, Paula McCombie is. You might remember that two years ago South Barrington expressed a desire to leave BACOG until BACOG lowered the membership dues to them.
Also, Bob Abboud, pictured fourth from right, is no longer president of Barrington Hills, Martin McLaughlin is. Mr. McLaughlin chairs our Village Board, your current landlords, so we strongly suggest you consider updating your records soon for future articles.
Further, the article states that BACOG has included five questions in the “Healthier Barrington” survey pertaining to groundwater. The link to the online survey is available on the BACOG website, as well as on the Village of Barrington Hills site.
The only problem is, the BACOG questions are not in the survey; only twelve questions related to respondent’s mental health and support appear there. The survey can be viewed here if you’ve not seen it.
We’re sorry to add to your “to-do” list Tuesday morning after a long weekend, but we thought you should be one of the first to know.

Update: On Tuesday, February 18, the Barrington Courier-Review replaced the photo featured in the article with the following current BACOG membership photo:
