The Suffield Parks and Recreation Department’s Bowling Buddies group and families celebrated at their annual Holiday Banquet on Tuesday, December 18. It was held again this year at the Suffield Country Club’s Sunset Tavern.
Boy Scout Evan Mankouski, poses with his completed Eagle Scout service project, a Gaga Dodgeball Pit at Sunrise Park. Gaga Dodgeball has become a rising activity for camps and organizations.
On Saturday, September 22, Boy Scout Troop 66 of West Suffield went on a camping and climbing trip to the adventure and climbing park in Storrs, Conn. Storrs Adventure Park allows for visitors to explore the various elements and climbing activities around the park while being securely locked into a system of belays.
Like many Scout units, Suffield Cub Scout Pack 266 gets a big boost every year from selling Boy Scout popcorn. And for the third year in a row, Aiden Thomson, a ten-year old Bear Cub in the third grade at McAlister, has been the most successful salesman.
Quinn Bathgate set his sights on becoming an Eagle Scout from the time he became a Tiger Cub eight years ago. Now, at age 15 after four and a half years as a Boy Scout in Troop 66, he has achieved that goal.
The Suffield Board of Education has begun the search for a new superintendent. The Board has engaged the services of the New England School Development Council (NESDEC) to facilitate the search process.
For their Holiday Tree Gala, the Suffield Garden Club collected a great variety of trees from imaginative designers and stood them up for the first two weeks of December at the Senior Center for all to see. And, hopefully, to buy.
The Suffield Garden Club will hold a monthly meeting on Monday, February 4 at 11:45 a.m. at the Second Baptist Church, Fellowship Hall. Coffee, tea, a light lunch and a short business meeting are followed by a guest speaker at 1 p.m.
Eugenia Bone, our guest speaker, is an author, Italian cook, mushroom hunter and master canner.
We all wonder, at one time or another, about the organic food issue and whether or not one should pay the extra dinaro for it. You be the judge.
Entering its second year as a four-town Co-Op team, Wildcats Swimming is looking forward to a strong season under even stronger leadership. Suffield, Ellington, Windsor Locks and East Windsor are united under four young men in particular who push themselves and their teammates to come out on top with wins, broken records and the respect of other competitive teams. At the head of the Wildcats is Drew Martin-Ryan, one of Suffield’s own.
