We would like to invite all Suffield residents, former residents, and anyone else who is interested in Suffield to join our new Facebook group, “What’s Going on Suffield?” Our new group has two purposes. The first is to provide a place for others to share their memories of growing up in Suffield. Leeanne and I have many such happy memories such as selling Girl Scout cookies, attending summer camp at Sunrise Park, looking forward to the Fireman’s Carnival every summer, working our first jobs in tobacco and at the movie theater in the Suffield Village, and graduating from Suffield High School. If you have memories you’d like to share, please post them on our page!
Our group’s second purpose is to help everyone create new, happy memories. Members have been asked to post information about any upcoming events like art shows, bake sales, fundraisers for charities, school events like recitals and musicals, and whatever else you may have planned! It is our hope that we can use this information to help build a better community for all residents in town.
In part, this group was created in response to the negativity that has been posted in other Facebook groups associated with Suffield. No political content will be allowed on our page. Small business owners in Suffield are welcome to post, but this policy may change if the group feed becomes overloaded with such posts.
In the two weeks that have passed since we started the group, over 450 members have signed up. Please join us! You can find us at www.facebook.com/groups/whatsgoingonsuffield.
