John Spencer, the new chief of the Suffield Volunteer Ambulance Association, stated that he applied for the position because he appreciated the bond that exists between the community and the association. He feels that this relationship is very strong for such a small town.
The Town of Suffield Conservation Commission will be seeking candidates to fill the Sunrise Park and Stony Brooke Park Superintendent position. Interested applicants should look for more information on the Town of Suffield website under Our Town / Town News / Job Openings.
Thomas Drakeley has announced his retirement as superintendent of Stony Brooke and Sunrise Parks after having held the position for 14 years. Tom, with significant assistance from his wife Maryfran and their three now-youthful adult children, Sheila, Molly and Thomas, have served the town and park visitors splendidly throughout those years and will be greatly missed.
