New Eagle Scout Honored
|
On Saturday, March 14, 2020 at the 15th Annual Matianuck District Scouter Recognition Dinner of the Connecticut Rivers Council Boy Scouts of America, Evan Mankouski was awarded the 2019 Emil Huyghebaert Eagle Scout of the Year Award. The Matianuck District is comprised of 12 towns including Suffield and 53 scouting units. Evan obtained his Eagle Scout from Troop 260 of Suffield in February 2019. His Eagle Scout project was constructing a GaGa Dodgeball Pit at Sunrise Park in West Suffield. The court provides an alternative activity for scouters, visitors and campers to enjoy a contained dodgeball court. GaGa Dodgeball Pits have increased in popularity at camps, playgrounds, schools and parks.

Picture this: A gaggle of giggling children are racing around under sunny skies as they enjoy a variety of fun activities and games. That sounds pretty wonderful anytime, but perhaps it’s an exceptionally appealing image during this time of social distancing.

Drive-by Parades Hit the Spot!

While adults in our community have alternated recently between worry over the health of our loved ones and ourselves, our job security, homeschooling our children, the food security of our friends and neighbors, and the need to support our local businesses, we’ve also understandably grieved some of the things we planned and looked forward to prior to a pandemic: vacations, holidays, weddings, milestones for our high school seniors, such as a definite graduation celebration.
