Where in the World is the Observer?

By |

On a cruise that included the Virgin Islands, Dan and Diane Phelon took the October Observer to Ushuaia, the capital city of Tierra del Fuego in Patagonia. Patagonia is a large region including the southern end of both Argentina and Chile. The proud citizens of Ushuaia have expanded their motto to read “The City at the End of the World, the Beginning of Everything.”

While encouraging people to be grateful is great, being grateful together is much more powerful and effective. When we collaborate with loved ones or friends, it benefits everyone.

Suffield Woman’s Club News

By |

The members of the Suffield Woman’s Club (SWC) voted last year to purchase a new sound system for the Town. This was in response to members attending the Town’s outdoor occasions such as the Memorial Day and Veterans Day events and not being able to enjoy the service due to a poor sound system. This past Veterans Day was the first time the new system was used and it made a world of difference. It is the Club’s hope that many more people will attend these services because now they can hear what is being sung and said. The SWC would like to thank Facilities Manager Chris Matejek and Highway Department Foreman Mark Cervione for their help with this project.
