Suffield High School junior Matt Sinofsky has a dual-purpose idea for his Eagle Scout project. A member of Boy Scout Troop 66, Sinofsky proposes to build a ceremonial fire pit at Sunrise Park to be used exclusively for American flag retirement while honoring veterans with a brick and stone configuration surrounding it.
Over the past few months, Troop 66 has been doing many events. Troop 66 has made sure to follow all COVID-19 safety regulations while hosting these events. Some of the events we hosted were a Halloween camp out and party, a Thanksgiving dinner, multiple Eagle Scout projects, and two different bottle drives.
ABAR Suffield holds its last weekly BLACK LIVES MATTER demonstration for the season. It was late November, with a stalwart group surviving the nippy weather.

While Mapleton Hall has been closed since March of 2020, The Players have been busy with renovations at our historic theatre home, while still producing virtual shows and theatre workshops!
I’m sure it’s safe to say we are all wishing 2021 is a better year. COVID-19 vaccines are rolling out so we are very hopeful to be opening back up sometime this year.
The Friends of Suffield will once again host a variation of their popular Senior Valentine Social. This year’s feast – the group’s 34th annual – will be delivered to your home.
The need for community connections and meaningful events and activities has always been essential, but during these challenging and uncertain times during the COVD-19 pandemic, it has become even more vital.
Ho! Ho! Ho! The Santa drive-by event was a success with lots of smiling faces from all ages.
