While COVID-19 & winter temperatures limit our ability to host rallies and community events, ABAR Suffield has turned our focus to supporting two key issues.
Although our doors are still locked to the public, staff has been working inside since the pandemic began. We have used the time to familiarize ourselves with programs and resources to help our residents who have been impacted by COVID-19.
Suffield High School junior Matt Sinofsky has a dual-purpose idea for his Eagle Scout project. A member of Boy Scout Troop 66, Sinofsky proposes to build a ceremonial fire pit at Sunrise Park to be used exclusively for American flag retirement while honoring veterans with a brick and stone configuration surrounding it.
Over the past few months, Troop 66 has been doing many events. Troop 66 has made sure to follow all COVID-19 safety regulations while hosting these events. Some of the events we hosted were a Halloween camp out and party, a Thanksgiving dinner, multiple Eagle Scout projects, and two different bottle drives.
