Dena Davis 'Fostered A Love Of Theater' In Children: Barrington Patch Community Leaders

BARRINGTON, RI — Without community leaders, Barrington wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from Joanne Ela, a Barrington reader who nominated Dena Davis.
