Suffield Players: Ordinary People

By |

Suffield’s own Lisa Parker has written several new plays being showcased at the next Suffield Players “Page-to-Stage” reading, produced in cooperation with Kent Memorial Library. Ordinary People – An Evening of New One-Act Plays will perform at The Suffield Senior Center, 145 Bridge Street in Suffield, on April 18 at 7 p.m. The performance is free, and open to the public. “The different short plays in Ordinary People reflect the day-to-day realities and situations most of us encounter,” says Parker. “And the folks we all know… or think we know. Everyone has a story!”

Often funny, sometimes sweet, and occasionally poignant moments punctuate her plots.

Eagle Brothers Honored

By |

This was not the first time that Boy Scout Troop 260 has had several Eagle Scouts in the same family, but the Court of Honor on February 26 was the first time the brothers were awarded in the same ceremony. Michael Sattan and Stephen Sattan both received their coveted awards that evening, with a packed Fellowship Hall at Second Baptist to applaud. Following the Scouts’ impressive candle-lighting ceremony, all the Eagle Scouts present, young and old, lined up at the side of the audience, and Assistant Scoutmaster Art Sikes administered the Eagle Charge. Scoutmaster Mike Cremmins presented the awards, and special recognitions were given by State Representative Tami Zawistowski and First Selectmen Melissa Mack. Senior Patrol Leader Wyatt Cashman served as master of ceremonies.

Parks & Rec News

We have had an exciting winter season at Suffield Park and Recreation! Our efforts to bring programs that are more diverse to Suffield, and its residents, are gaining traction with full classes in a wide range of program categories including: adult fitness and wellness, youth arts and crafts, youth fitness, STEAM enrichment programs, self-defense and pre-school and adult sports. These new and unique programs are supplementing our traditional programs, such as youth basketball, bowling, and yoga. I would like to give a special thanks to the group that attended the Cupcake Decorating class that left some samples for me. The cupcakes were beautiful and delicious too…even if I had to do some extra exercising to make up for eating them!
