A group of eight workers at Atria Bay Spring Village who do community service projects recently repainted the Barrington Senior Center.
The Barrington Senior Center got a major touch-up recently -- thanks to volunteers at the Atria Bay Spring Village who do community service projects. “A group of eight volunteers painted the main room of the center,” said Senior Center Director Louis House, who grabbed a roller herself.
