Thanks to the 175 households who have paid membership dues in 2024. We are halfway to our goal of 350 households for the Association’s 100 year anniversary. Please pay dues ASAP to participate in all we have planned for 2024!
The Merrymount Association 2024 membership drive is now underway and we ask that you please pay your annual dues as soon as possible to help make this year another year to remember in Merrymount! Our goal this year is 350 household memberships and to help drive that goal we are bringing back the early pay discount for dues paid before April 1.
We need strong membership support to ensure the Association's finances remain solid and that projects and improvements at the Beach can continue in 2024 as we celebrate our 100 year anniversary!
In 2023, we continued our improvements to the Beach property with additional landscaping, lighting, and work on the shack. We also added a custom designed fire-pit and a big screen TV to have watch parties at the Beach.
Taxes, insurance, utilities, and property maintenance costs continue to rise each year as well, so please know how valuable and important your dues are to the upkeep and beautification of Merrymount Beach.
In 2024, we're also looking forward to additional Beach improvements and another full slate of events again this year.
In addition to all the great events below, we are very excited to celebrate our 100 year anniversary with the 100 Year Bash at the Neighborhood Club on April 6 - more details to come on tickets in the coming weeks. We are also planning a 100 Year Beach Party later in the summer/early fall for a more casual (and kid friendly) event to celebrate the Association. Please keep an eye out also for fundraising details in the weeks to come as we hope to bolster the Association's finances for some exciting projects ahead.
We'll also plan on the following: Polar Plunge at the Beach, Winter Warmup at Fox and Hound, Mardi Gras celebration at the Pour Yard, Bruins Watch Party, St. Patrick's Day Party, Winter Weekend to New Hampshire, Easter Egg Hunt, Freedom Beach Celebration and Junior Olympics, July 4th Parade, Family Fun Day at the Beach, Food Truck and Live Music Nights, Movie Night/Campout, Beach Market and Beer Garden, Fall Festival & Halloween Kids Party, Patriot's Tailgate, Turkey Trot, Ugly Sweater Party, Horse Drawn Sleigh Rides, and more! Have an idea for another event? Let us know and help organize it!
Please pay your dues online via Paypal at www.merrymountquincy.com/membership or by sending in the attached membership form and check for dues to 11 Hobomack Road. Please make the check payable to “Merrymount Association.”
The Board welcomed several new members in 2023 and a number of dedicated neighbors stepped down after many years of volunteering. But, all of the event organizing and running cannot be done by Board members alone - please also get involved and volunteer to make all of these events a success, we always need a hand!!
All the best,

Frequently Asked Questions About the Merrymount Association
Why should I be a member if I am away most of the summer and don’t participate in any events?
You and your family may not participate in any planned events, but you may use the beach during the summer or grab a hotdog and drink at the snack bar. You also may just drive by our beautiful and private beach on your way to work each morning. Membership dues pay for the maintenance of that beach, including cutting the grass, planting flowers, and collecting refuse in the summer. In the winter that effort continues with seasonal decorations and more clean-up activities. A beautiful beach is not only great to look at, but adds to your property value as well.
Doesn’t the Association get enough funds through dues? Where does the money go?
All dues are channeled right back into the organization to pay for beach maintenance and improvements, utilities at the snack bar, events such as the July 4th parade, insurance and taxes. All of these expenses continue to increase each year.
But, aren’t there enough members already? Why is my support and membership necessary?
Less than one-third of the total households in Merrymount are Association members. However, landscaping, maintenance and improvement costs continue to rise. To continue our mission, we need more members and more member volunteers to help out with events and improvements.
Okay, I’m convinced. But, how do I get more involved in the Association?
Contact a Merrymount board member or feel free to email [email protected] and let them know you want to get involved. We are especially interested in family members with young children who would like to help plan and coordinate age-appropriate events. Contact names are in the newsletters every resident receives.
