Allison Murray, a retired physician assistant, moved to the Barrington area in 2011 from Durham, North Carolina with her husband, Core Orthopedics sports medicine physician Jeff and her three children, Sam, Charlie, and Tessa. Allison is in her fourth year of proudly serving as a Fire Trustee for the Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District, serving 48 square miles. She is also in her twelfth year with the Nature Lady program, serving as coordinator/content creator and teaching kindergarten through 2nd graders about Illinois plants and animals. She also serves as membership director for the Rotary Club of Barrington After Hours, and serves on the auxiliary boards of Chicago Charity Clays-supporting special operations soldiers and their families-and Biltmore Scholars, which provides scholarships to Biltmore Club employees and their children. She also currently volunteers with Folds of Honor.

An East Tennessee native, she enjoys cooking (especially southern) canning, crafting, raising farm animals, and she has a solidly mediocre golf game. Allison has recently discovered the joy of mahjong, and hopes that her skill with the tiles will soar above her golf ability. She's thrilled to be dancing this year in support of Bacoa!

Meet Agnes Tomasian - a 24-year Barrington resident, married to Dr. Tomasian, a local cardiologist, and a proud mother of two daughters and a son. She is a registered nurse with over 30 years of experience, including 15 years in emergency medicine at Good Shepherd Hospital. Agnes brings compassion, strength, and heart to everything she does.

Over the years, she has volunteered with the Barrington Junior Women's Club, the Samaritan Counseling Center of the Northwest Suburbs, local food banks, multiple children's charities, and the Barrington Rotary Club, contributing her time and energy to causes close to her heart.
