Barrington author to speak about donating

Barrington author Rem Stokes will make a presentation about charitable giving at 11:30 a.m. Monday at the Garlands of Barrington Performing Arts Center.

Stokes, who is also is a member of the retirement community, recently wrote a book on the subject of donating titled “Cultivating Generosity: Giving What’s Right, Not What’s Left.”

Meet Stokes as he discusses his 12-step exercises and rationale for not-for-profit organizations, especially churches, to stimulate giving by helping move constituents from “self-interest” toward “self-esteem” at a free book signing and discussion.

In addition, there will be a discussion of the book as well as a free book signing.
