Merrymount
A Great Place to Live!
2023 Membership Update!
The attached membership report for 2023 shows 336 member households - which is a great number, but we know there are more households that have paid in the past and that are using the Beach and enjoying our dues-supported events. Please take a look at the membership list and make sure you’ve paid your 2023 dues.
If you believe you have paid this year, but don’t see yourself on the roster, please let us know if it was by check, paypal, crumpled up $ one evening at the beach, cryptocurrency, etc. so we can update our records (we do our best to keep track, but you know, we're all just volunteers here!).
The Association has made major improvements at the Beach over the past 5 years and is organizing events at a record level, but to maintain these activities and plan for our 100th year anniversary next year, we need a strong membership base, so your support is greatly appreciated!
Dues can be paid at the following link http://www.merrymountquincy.com/membership.html or by sending/dropping a check made out to the Merrymount Association to 11 Hobomack Road.
Thank you.

The Merrymount Association 2023 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 2023 and as we approach our 100 year anniversary in 2024.
In 2022, we continued our improvements to the Beach property with additional landscaping, lighting, and work on the shack. We also enjoyed a return to our full slate of events at the Beach and around the community in 2022. The shack was also back in business throughout the summer months.
Plans for 2023 include a custom designed fire-pit area, 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, so please know how valuable and important your dues are to the upkeep and beautification of Merrymount Beach.
We're also looking forward to another full slate of events again this year. Last year's music and food trucks at the Beach in the Spring and Fall 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, Freedom Beach Celebration and Junior Olympics, July 4th Parade, Family Fun Day at the Beach, 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!
Please pay your dues online via Paypal at www.merrymountquincy.com/membership 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,

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.
