ABOUT US

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. (Margaret Mead)

 

A small group of people got together in 2001, calling themselves the Merritton Community Group, with the intentions of enhancing the social and economic character of Merritton while supporting Merritton as a distinctive heritage community. We are now proudly a part of the Merritton Lions.

 

One of the first projects was this newsletter and since the inception of Merritton Matters, the Editor/Writer has been Lorraine Giroux. All articles without a byline are by her. Phyllis Thomson is editor extraordinaire.

 

Contributions have been received over the years, with much appreciation, from a variety of local authors. Tony Morra is relentless in his sourcing of advertising. Photographs are the very professional work of Susan Fluellon. Lana Pesant is our Graphic Designer who takes the draft sent to her by the editor and makes a perfect finished product. Our coordinator, idea generator and community muse, is the super resourceful Sheila Morra.
