Merrymount
A Great Place to Live!
The Merrymount Association 2022 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!
We need strong membership support to ensure the Association's finances remain solid and that projects and improvements at the Beach can continue in 2022 and as we approach our 100 year anniversary in 2024.
In 2021 we continued our improvements to the Beach property with additional landscaping and work on the shack. Despite all of the challenges last year, the Association was as active as ever and continued to host or promote monthly events and activities in a safe manner. We are also proud of the support we were able to offer to the community by hosting multiple donation drives and also doing our part to support local restaurants and businesses.
Plans for 2022 include further landscaping additions as well as improvements to the lighting and play area. Taxes, insurance, utilities, and property maintenance costs continue to rise each year as well.
We're also looking forward to a full slate of events again this year. Last year's music and food trucks at the Beach in the Spring were hugely popular and we're planning on bringing that back again this year.
We'll also plan on the following: Mardi Gras celebration, St. Patrick's Day Party, Easter Egg Hunt, Summer Kickoff Party, July 4th Beach Celebration and Parade, Family Fun Day at the Beach, Live Music Nights, Movie Night/Campout, Oktoberfest, Halloween Kids Party, Patriot's Tailgate, Turkey Trot, Ugly Sweater Party, and Horse Drawn Sleigh Rides, and more!
Please pay your dues online via Paypal below or by sending in the membership form and check to 11 Hobomack Road. Please also get involved and volunteer to make all of these events a success, we always need a hand!!
All the best,
- Mark Sauter
President

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 merrymountquincyboard@gmail.com 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.
