SWC Luncheon and New Officers
|
The Suffield Woman’s Club (SWC) held their Annual Luncheon and Installation of Officers Meeting on May 14, at Suffield by the River. The meeting served to recognize two club members, install the newest club officers, and allow this year’s members to reconvene one last time before dismissing for the summer. This year, the Suffield Woman’s Club recognized Vicki Markowski and Norann Coggins for forty years of service. Vicki and Norann were each awarded a 24-karat gold-plated pineapple ornament (the Club’s symbol) and a Certificate of Appreciation for their dedication to serving the Suffield community since 1979. The installation of officers to serve for the 2019—2020 club year were for the positions of treasurer, secretary, vice president, and president.

Parks & Recreation Bowling Luau Was a Hit!
|
The highly anticipated season end banquet for the Parks and Recreation Bowling Buddies and Bowling Buddies Jr. Group was held at Sunrise Park on Wednesday, May 15. The Pavilion was transformed into a “Tiki Hut” with our beach themed BBQ and Party. The sun was finally breaking through the clouds and smiles were abundant for our annual awards celebration and party. Everyone sang and danced the evening away as our dedicated volunteer-DJ Kevin Landolina kept the great music playing. Sunrise Park is a true gem for Suffield, and it makes a fantastic location for large parties and reunions.
