Except as noted, all SMCCA general meetings for 2010 are on Tuesdays in the clubhouse of the Merrick Road Park Golf Course. Except as noted, the main part of each meeting starts at 7:30pm. However, prior to each 7:30pm start of the main part of the meeting, there will be an informal session starting at 7:00pm for the SMCCA leadership to receive input from the general membership on items of interest and concern. Anybody wishing to discuss such matters should inform the SMCCA leadership prior to the meeting to ensure that time is allocated to cover that particular item. (See "Contact Information" page.) Of course, any member can contact the civic association at any time if he or she wants to do so.

Other Events
September 15 at 7:00pm
An open meeting to meet and greet author Heather Worthington, who has just had a
new book published about Merrick's own ROXEY the DOG, will be held at the
Merrick Library on Wednesday, September 15th, at 7 pm. The session is
co-sponsored by the Merrick Library and the Historical Society of the
Merricks. Author Worthington will be there to sign the book which may be
purchased at that session. She assures us that she has a
presentation especially prepared for Merrick, outlining the interesting
history behind the publishing of the book as well as a portion of her
presentation which the youngsters will enjoy. So this is a meeting for all
the ages in our community. The book is called MILES OF SMILES and the
story's hero, ROXEY THE DOG, travels the Long Island Rail Road as a passenger
and even winds up meeting the President of the United States - Long Island's
own Teddy Roosevelt. Ms. Worthington came to Merrick a few years ago and was
squired around to our various spots of interest by Historicfal Society
Preident Lawrence Garfinkel. Among the places that interested her was the
memorial just south of the Merrick Railroad Station that was erected to
honor ROXEY, THE RAILROAD DOG, who as a resident of our town for a while
hopped aboard the trains there for rides to Pennsylvania Station. That
day's tour eventually turned into this marvelously illustrated story.
