Back in the summer when I was 18, my parents were really cramping my style. I couldn’t wait to cut the apron strings and head off to college. They were spoiling my relaxation vibe with things like summer jobs, curfews and chores I was supposed to do around the house. So after we packed up the station wagon and pulled into my dorm parking lot one late August afternoon, like Sherpas, they unloaded my stuff and beat a hasty retreat. I was pretty happy about that as I was planning on reinventing myself and lurking parents were not part of that picture.
A few weeks ago Suffield’s intrepid PMC rider Chris Nikolis was delighted to adjust his report on last year’s Kids Ride up a few thousand as final returns came in, bringing Suffield’s eight-year total to $317,000!

The Suffield Garden Club will once again continue the tradition of giving each fourth grade student a young tree to plant. The Arbor Day Program will take place Friday, April 24 at McAlister School where students will showcase their knowledge of trees with poems, songs and recitations. They will leave school with a young sapling to plant, typically in their own yard or somewhere in our beautiful town of Suffield. This program is made possible through the Memorial Fund of the Suffield Garden Club with the financial help of Val Galivan, a former member, beginning in 1965. The Garden Club extends their thanks to Bartlett Tree Experts for securing these trees for this annual program.
