The South Merrick Community Civic Association (SMCCA) was formed in early 2006 for the purpose of maintaining and/or improving the quality of life of the residents of Merrick living south of Merrick Road. It focuses on issues that are specific to that area, but some of the general programs it has developed for those people are also of interest to people in other nearby communities who have chosen to join to take advantage of those programs.
SMCCA schedules meetings to discuss issues of importance to the community. These meetings are generally held on Thursdays at 7:30pm at the Merrick Road Park Golf Course clubhouse. Outside speakers are often invited to attend and participate in the discussions. These include public officials, the police, the fire department, leaders of other organizations, religious leaders, and people with special knowledge and/or expertise on issues of interest to the community.
SMCCA's real work is done between the meetings. See the next page, "Issues: Past & Present," for a partial list of the things with which the civic association has recently been involved.
Oil Price Incentive Program
SMCCA has teamed up with Tragar Oil of Wantagh for the second year to obtain a discounted price for home oil delivery for SMCCA members. It is important for interested members to lock in before the price goes back up. Tragar also offers a discounted service program. Interested members should call Tragar's civic salesperson, Mr. Cory Baty, for more details, at 631 741-4699, and identify themselves as members of SMCCA, or they may call SMCCA president Joe Baker at 516 978-8310 if there are any questions.
T-Shirts
Please help support us by purchasing SMCCA T-shirts at the special membership price of $10 each. As an incentive for new members who join our civic association at a meeting a free T-shirt will be offered. Additional shirts can be purchased for $10 each.
