Philip L. Williams Memorial Scholarship 2022
 |
| Philip L. Williams |
Merrick Post No. 1282 will be awarding a Philip L. Williams Memorial Scholarship to a deserving Bellmore/Merrick high school senior who best exemplifies the qualities of Philip L. Williams.
Phil's core values were focused on Strong Morals: Patriotism, Family Values, Community Service and a strong Work Ethic. Phil was an inspiration because he took every opportunity to exhibit and incorporate these morals in his life. He made a difference to his fellow veterans, his co-workers, as well as his family and friends by reminding us to integrate these beliefs into everyday life.

Merrick Post 1282 2021 Fall Update
Dear Legionnaire,
Our 2021 FALL meetings will be on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7:45 PM. The dates are October 12th, November 9th and December 14th. CDC requirements will be followed.
To ALL members: Rick Ambrosino sends you a THANK YOU for your prayers, cards, phone calls, and visits.
Our First vice Commander, Richard Mecabe has been very successful in his door to door recruitment efforts and has added 14 transferred Post #1 members to our roster. We gladly welcome each and every one and have had some attend our September meeting. Hopefully all of our members, who cannot attend our meetings, will stop and say hello at our “tent” at the Merrick Street Fair on October 23rd & 24tg. Our Second vice Commander, Frank Pedagno has been successful in obtaining a corporate grant for our Post. He has also been quite busy transporting Rick and Joe Ambrosino to doctor and hospital visits. I know that there are many others, whom I am unaware of, that are aiding others in different ways or just keeping in touch with each other by a phone call or a buddy check. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!
