Fall Celebrations

Fall Celebrations

Elections are underway and we will soon find which candidates will be serving the constituents of our community. To help you with your decision making process, the South Merrick Community Civic Association held their annual “Meet the Candidates Night” where each candidate had an opportunity to make an appeal to the community for their vote. The victors will soon be celebrating.

The Woman of Distinction award was presented to twenty-six woman in the community. Assemblyman Dave McDonough presented the award in a formal ceremony at the Merrick Clubhouse where he acknowledged each woman for their specific accomplishments. He applauded them for their character, achievements and dedication to inspiring others and improving their community.

Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in Boy Scouts of America. Only a small percentage of Scouts have earned this rank after a lengthy review process. On October 9, 2022 Ethan David Lido of Merrick achieved the rank of Eagle Scout.

Wedding bells were ringing at Hempstead Town Hall as Town Clerk Kate Murry performed wedding ceremonies for two Bellmore couples. Congratulations Dwight Nicholas and Simone Williams of Bellmore and David Marco and Tamara Stein of North Bellmore.

The spooktackular Bellmore Chamber Halloween Parade and Trunk-orTreat was a great success this year. Ghosts, goblins and witches paraded through Bellmore Village stopping at merchants to trick-ortreat along the way. The parade culminated with an exciting trunk-or-treat experience where children collected more treats and were able to take keepsake pictures in front of seasonal displays.
