SGC Plans Arbor Day

The Suffield Garden Club will once again continue the tradition of giving each fourth grade student a young tree to plant. The Arbor Day Program will take place Friday, April 24 at McAlister School where students will showcase their knowledge of trees with poems, songs and recitations. They will leave school with a young sapling to plant, typically in their own yard or somewhere in our beautiful town of Suffield. This program is made possible through the Memorial Fund of the Suffield Garden Club with the financial help of Val Galivan, a former member, beginning in 1965. The Garden Club extends their thanks to Bartlett Tree Experts for securing these trees for this annual program.

Polish Heritage Society Meeting

One of the fun topics that sometimes arises in a Polish Heritage Society (PHS) meeting has to do with the family cow. The members of the PHS that tended to the family cow, whether on their own property or their grandparents’, loved that animal. They have very fond reminiscences to share. The people at Oakridge Dairy Farm in Ellington love their cows, too . .
