My husband and I are happy to live in a community with an amazing grassroots effort that is working on multiple fronts to call out and defeat bias and racism in our Town. ABAR Suffield (“anti-bias, anti-racism”) is growing in strength and numbers.
My name is Charlie Watras; I reside at 32 Wendover Road in our lovely Town of Suffield, CT. While a relative newcomer to the community (I am now in my 3rd decade of residency), I have participated in our local government having served on the Board of Finance and two prior Charter Revision Commissions.

Suffield is truly fortunate to have such a great quantity of open space set aside for public use. Likewise, the town has been active in the preservation of farmland, making Suffield second in the state in terms of preserved farm acreage.
The inaugural meeting of the Suffield Veterans Appreciation Committee (VAC) was held on February 16 via Zoom. First Selectman Mack, Selectman Kathie Harrington, Kris Lambert, Deputy Assessor Lisa Trase and Sue Mayne from Field of Flags were joined by members of the VFW Post 9544; Post Commander Bill Moryto, Adjutant Fritz King and member David Shute to discuss veteran services, care and expansion of Veterans Memorial Park, as well as planning for this year’s Memorial Day parade and program.
The Bridge Street School demolition article in our March issue inadequately described what happened after the Town Meeting voted to appropriate funds and authorize bonding for the proposed community center.
