Join Suffield Rotary and Friends of Hilltop Farm for an EPIC Day of Service
On Saturday, May 16 at Hilltop Farm from 8 a.m. until completion, Suffield Rotary and Friends of Hilltop Farm invite you to participate in a rewarding community service project. The goal is to finish repainting the iconic white fence—a project delayed due to last year’s rainy weekends. Join us as we come together to make a tangible difference! (We finish painting the white fence.)
Be Part of a Global Movement
On this day, you are invited to join a worldwide movement of action, impact, and unity. The EPIC Day of Service will bring together over 2,500 Rotary clubs and 75,000 Rotarians, community volunteers, and partners from around the globe. United in purpose, we dedicate this day to making the world a better place.
From bustling city centers to remote rural areas, the EPIC Day of Service calls people of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures to come together and address some of our communities’ most pressing challenges. Through thousands of coordinated acts of service, we will showcase the true power of collective goodwill and service above self.
A Day That Spans the Globe
Every project—big or small—will contribute to a mosaic of impact that transcends borders, cultures, and languages.
Why May 16 Will Matter
May 16, isn’t just another Saturday-it’s the day we prove what’s possible when people unite for a greater good. Join the movement and help improve lives, strengthen communities, and create a better future for generations to come.
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE IT EPIC!
So, what are we doing in Suffield? Suffield Rotary has partnered with Friends of the Farm at Hilltop (FOFAH) in Suffield, CT to paint the iconic white fence surrounding the farm, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The farm was originally owned by George Hendee, founder of Indian Motorcycle. We invite other local groups and organizations to participate in an Old-Fashioned Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn Fence Painting Event. This is a family-friendly event with all materials—paint, brushes, and rollers—provided, as well as a cookout lunch. Individuals and community groups are encouraged to join the fun!
Suffield Rotary will also provide students who need Community Service Hours with signed documentation of their participation and time volunteered.
