Successful Blood Drive
|
The Suffield Woman’s Club (SWC) held its annual Red Cross Blood Drive recently at the Second Baptist Church. The drive collected 21 productive pints of blood which equals up to 3 lives saved. The SWC would like to thank the American Red Cross for all their work setting up and working the blood drives (especially ours!), our Club volunteers, bakers and sandwich makers and a very special thank you to all the donors who take time out of their busy schedules to come out and donate. You made a difference in someone’s life.

My Old Friend, the Wood Turtle

Our eyes met on the trail where many great relationships ignite. I had just headed down the hill and came face to face with a pretty rare reptile in these parts, a wood turtle.
