Something to talk about

Last month, while dining at a local restaurant, a Suffieldian I’ve known for almost 15 years came to our table and asked us how things were going, and I told her things were not perfect. She breathed this huge sigh of relief and revealed to us that things in her life were not perfect either.

Deputy Chief Well Trained

Dan Vindigni was pictured in the Observer last month when he was promoted to his new volunteer position as deputy chief of the Suffield Fire Department. We didn’t appreciate then that he also serves Suffield as a member of the town’s Emergency Management Committee.

New Sign Installed

Up on his scaffold over the lower roof, Dave Adams, one of Suffield Village’s multi-talented construction and maintenance crew, attaches the V of the new sign on the south-facing gable over Highland Park Market.

Save Money with Medicare Choices

Looking back on my journey to enrolling in Medicare I wish I had gotten free assistance from a Medicare CHOICES Counselor. There are two counselors in Suffield that you can meet with at either the Senior Center 860-668-8830 or at Suffield Community Aid 860-668-1986.
