Girl Scout Silver Award Projects

By |

Two Scout projects from Troop 10983 are being completed by the teams of Veronica Jacobs and Samantha Chapman and Katie Uzdarwin and Suyannah Ruiz. The Girl Scout Silver Award is the second-highest award for Girl Scouts and the highest award that a cadette can earn. To earn a Silver Award you are required to help improve your community in some way. For their Silver Award, Veronica and Samantha made a reflection room for McAlister. A reflection room is a room where people go to calm down.

KML Features Springfield Photographer’s Spring Collection

By |

The Suffield Arts Council is proud to present a fantastic display of photographs by Bill Ferro, a Springfield resident, formerly of New York City. Introduced at an early age to photography by his uncle, Bill dabbled in the field for many years while traveling the country. Since moving to Western Massachusetts many years ago, Bill has been photographing the coast from Maine to Florida. The Pinney Gallery of Suffield’s Kent Memorial Library will feature many examples of his portfolio, which includes vivid images of seascapes, wildlife, florals, and landscapes. Excited by the capabilities of new technology, Bill entered the digital field, and produces his photos on gallery wrapped stretch canvas and metal plates.
