The Suffield Observer owes its existence to a large number of volunteers, as well as other friends who send us news and photos (and opinions!), so we get together occasionally to give thanks.
In the May, Observer issue, we published a partial list of local organizations that welcome volunteers. As we were reminded by readers, there are others that we did not include that are equally deserving of being recognized as fine places to volunteer – actually many, many, others. The list we chose from had more than 60 entries. Aside from the fact that there was not enough time to update all that information, the Observer could not accommodate a list that long. Our plan was, and is, to publish a permanent list on the Observer’s website at https://thesuffieldobserver.com/local-organizations-that-welcome-volunteers/, which ultimately will include all of the others.

Many thanks to The Suffield Observer for the list of volunteer opportunities in Suffield! The Polish Heritage Society (PHS) is proud to be included among them.
The way I see it, it all started as we sat around the dining room table, my dad telling us stories about growing up while I was trying to hide my peas under my mashed potatoes. He was a good storyteller, and it was important to him that we knew what life was like growing up on the farm around the corner where he was the seventh generation to take his first steps on that patch of land.
The fields and streams of Hilltop Farm are a great place to learn about the outside world.
