SWC Making Blankets for Children

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. 

Preppers Please!

Preppers take text material submitted to the paper and “prep” it in column format. They also serve as copy editors, adjusting details to the Observer’s standards. Preppers work from the 10th of the month to the 16th. Shifts are usually scheduled in two hour time slots. Contact us at inbox@thesuffieldobserver.com or (860) 668-7442 if you are interested in joining our team of volunteers.

Canal Lock Wall Collapses

This view looking down into the guard lock at the north end of the Windsor Locks Canal shows the immense stone that fell from the side-wall of the lock in late summer, leaving the upper tier of the wall in precarious but stable condition.
