Observer Owls Perch in Tree for SGC Gala

By |

Observer Managing Editor Ann Kannen and her daughter Kelly Manning prepared a Christmas tree for the Suffield Garden Club’s Christmas Tree Gala at the Senior Center, December 1-15 (see Page 35), but it spent a few days brightening the newspaper’s office. The pages on the wall in this mid-November photo are that month’s issue. (The office seldom looks this neat.)

SWC Making Blankets for Children

By |

Suffield Woman’s Club members will meet at Sacred Heart Church, Father Ted Hall on Tuesday, November 13 at noon for a service project. The club will cut and knot fleece blankets to be donated to area children in need. As this is an informal gathering, members are asked to bring a bag lunch for themselves. 

Women interested in finding out what Suffield Woman’s Club is all about are welcome to join us for this program. The club is a member of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs of Connecticut. 

For more information about this service project, please contact SWC member Renée Wood at 860-668-8873.
