Partnering to Reach Aspirations invites you to a free presentation by John Elder Robison, author of Look Me In The Eye, online as part of the Speaker Series, Understanding Young Adults with Aspergers/ASD at 7 p.m. on June 3, 2020.
As our state and country reopens we are delighted to let our readers and advertisers know that while this June edition will only be available online, we plan to begin printing again with a July (and a special August edition) delivered to the mailboxes of all Suffield residents.
We are currently recruiting monthly Editors. Being an editor is a perfect way to contribute to the Suffield community and have a meaningful one-time involvement with the production of the paper.
This year’s Poker Night season came to an abrupt end with the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. Despite the season being cut short, $1,265 was raised and given to Suffield Community Aid to help veterans in need.
Once again, the pandemic precludes production of a printed edition for June 1. But we are making plans, and hope to resume printing, beginning with July and August editions.
On Saturday, March 14, 2020 at the 15th Annual Matianuck District Scouter Recognition Dinner of the Connecticut Rivers Council Boy Scouts of America, Evan Mankouski was awarded the 2019 Emil Huyghebaert Eagle Scout of the Year Award. The Matianuck District is comprised of 12 towns including Suffield and 53 scouting units. Evan obtained his Eagle Scout from Troop 260 of Suffield in February 2019. His Eagle Scout project was constructing a GaGa Dodgeball Pit at Sunrise Park in West Suffield. The court provides an alternative activity for scouters, visitors and campers to enjoy a contained dodgeball court. GaGa Dodgeball Pits have increased in popularity at camps, playgrounds, schools and parks.
Early Saturday afternoon, April 4, a driver reaches out with his contribution, probably a gift card, for the gals at the Shamrock Café to hand out on Sunday afternoon to veterans.
