Cheers to the Barrington Junior Women's Club, whose fall fundraiser on Nov. 9 raised more than $60,000 for local grants, high school scholarships and charities.
More than 400 women said "Oui! Oui" to attending the Barrington Junior Women's Club's Paris-themed fall fundraiser, which featured a fashion show, French market, lunch and live and silent auctions that raised more than $60,000 for local causes.
Guests enjoyed an afternoon of shopping the boutiques of more than 25 local retailers and vendors, and bidding on more than 300 silent auction baskets.

Jewelers; free Jimmy Johns for one year; a private French dining experience for eight at L'Eiffel Bistro in South Barrington; a Teen/Tween party package; and a downtown Chicago weekend getaway package.
