Landry-Sic VFW Post 9544 on Sheldon Street, closed for a long period because of the COVID-19 pandemic, reopened in March, and on March 20 a special ceremony was held. A dozen and a half hard-working volunteers had labored hard for several months, not only to clean up the dust and debris that accumulates in a closed building, but to make some long-needed repairs and freshening.

Save the date—Suffield’s end-of-summer tradition will be here before you know it. Under the assumption that we will be able to comply with state regulations, Suffield on the Green and Craft Fair is proceeding forward.
In response to the mass shooting in Atlanta March 16 that killed eight spa workers, the Greater Suffield Interfaith Council, together with ABAR Suffield, quickly organized a candlelight vigil at the bandstand on Suffield Green. Over half a hundred attended the event, sharing the growing grief over such happenings, especially when the motivations are associated with racial bias.
Did you know that the Friends of the Farm at Hilltop lease and manage the Hilltop Open Space? That means that FOFAH pays rent to the Town of Suffield and is responsible for the care and maintenance of the property.
Our volunteers are amazing! During these past cold and dreary months, FOFAH volunteer and amateur historian Tony Peterson has led the project to upgrade the FOFAH website.
Suffield Community Aid is opening, by appointment, on May 3! After more than a year of working inside our locked doors, we are reopening to allow in-office visits.
