Lunch & Learn

Barrington’s White House is excited to bring its “Lunch & Learn'' cultural event series back in our 3rd floor ballroom.  Community members are invited to bring their lunch and enjoy discussions, demonstrations, and more on a variety of topics.

After retiring, Barrington resident David Waring set his sights on a breathtaking goal: summiting Mount Kilimanjaro — Africa’s highest peak and the world’s tallest free-standing mountain. With no previous high-altitude or multi-day trekking experience, David took on this nine-day, 60-mile journey through five climate zones, from tropical forests to glacier-capped peaks.Since then, he’s completed the Tour du Mont Blanc across three countries in the European Alps, and is now preparing for a 12-day Himalayan trek to Everest Base Camp+, topping out at over 18,500 feet.Join us for an inspiring conversation about challenge, resilience, and the spirit of adventure — no matter your age or experience level.
