SWC Luncheon and New Officers

The Suffield Woman’s Club (SWC) held their Annual Luncheon and Installation of Officers Meeting on May 14, at Suffield by the River. The meeting served to recognize two club members, install the newest club officers, and allow this year’s members to reconvene one last time before dismissing for the summer. This year, the Suffield Woman’s Club recognized Vicki Markowski and Norann Coggins for forty years of service. Vicki and Norann were each awarded a 24-karat gold-plated pineapple ornament (the Club’s symbol) and a Certificate of Appreciation for their dedication to serving the Suffield community since 1979. The installation of officers to serve for the 2019—2020 club year were for the positions of treasurer, secretary, vice president, and president.

How Are You?

An upcoming doctor’s appointment had me wondering how I was going to answer the Dreaded Question of “How are you?” A response of “Fine, thanks, how are you?” was probably not going to be sufficient.

CRC, A Short History

Citizens Restoring Congamond was loosely formed in the early to mid-1970’s by a small group of neighbors wanting to help fix up some rundown cottages on North Pond. Its focus quickly changed to the lake itself when they realized how much the water had deteriorated over the years. Through uncontrolled runoff and poor septic systems, along with unauthorized dumping ,the lake’s condition was very poor to say the least. This spurred the group to organize and in 1997 it was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Their mission was, and still is, “The protection and betterment of the Congamond Lakes”.
