Suffield 350th Anniversary Committee

Win This Truck! and Other Adventures in Fundraising

By |

Suffield’s 350th Anniversary Committee is hard at work raising money to pay for our town’s birthday celebration in 2020. We have been selling tee shirts and ball caps, and we’re hosting a golf outing and a beer tasting, but our biggest fundraiser by far is the truck raffle that will be held at Suffield on the Green at 1 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. We need your help to make it a success! Truck raffle tickets are $20 each and no more than 4,000 tickets will be sold. Those are pretty good odds!

Suffield Family Feels the Love

By |

Anyone who lives or has lived in Suffield knows that Suffield is a town that draws people together to help and give support in any kind of crisis. When someone is facing hardship, it is never faced alone. Scott Flanagan of Suffield learned at the beginning of June that he has aggressive, diffuse large cell B Non-Hodgkins stage 4 Lymphona (involving bone, lymph nodes and viscera). Scott had been working as a Physical Therapist but had to go on family leave, which ended his compensation. The family is taking one day at a time, with their strong faith in God and family, hoping for the best.
