Suffield Rotary has been an active bunch since the last issue of The Suffield Observer. The last Tuesday in June we honored two new Paul Harris Fellows, Nancy Viggiano and Art Christian. We also installed our new Board Members for the 2024-25 Rotary year which began July 1. During July, we partnered with Suffield Community Aid and did a Back-to-School snack drive, so that the pantry shelves are well stocked with goodies and treats. Youth Services also contributed to this effort, and we appreciate their support.
August found us serving up about 400 complimentary hamburgers and hot dogs with the Knights of Columbus at Suffield’s National Out on August 6. Friday, August 9 was the 33rd annual Glenn T. Packard Memorial Golf Tournament at Oakridge Golf Course. Friday, August 16, the club sponsored a Red Cross Blood Drive at Suffield Academy in Centurion Hall. Many thanks to all those who donated blood and to Suffield Academy for the use of your facility.
September brings Suffield on the Green and our annual Chicken BBQ on Sunday, September 8 as well as selling those extra-large hot dogs and delicious burgers both Saturday and Sunday. Chicken BBQ tickets can be purchased from any Rotary Club member and cost $15.
Look for more details about some of the events in other portions of this month’s Observer.
