The Rotary Club of Merrimack sponsored the "Coats for Kids" program this year. The "Coats for Kids" program provides winter coats for children in Merrimack who have none. This year, the program gave away 22 coats to children in Merrimack.
 

On September 11, 2014, the Rotary Club of Merrimack presented a check for over one hundred dollars to the Merrimack Professional Firefighters IAFF Local 2904 Heating Fuel Assistance Fund.

Eleven local individuals were recognized by the Rotary Club of Merrimack for demonstrating “Excellence in the Workplace.” The event was held at a weekly Merrimack Rotary breakfast meeting at the John O’Leary Adult Community Center on Thursday, April 10.

The Rotary Club of Merrimack recently presented three local food banks with donations collected during the month of November. 

After a one year hiatus the Turkey Trot committee has resurrected the Merrimack 5K Turkey Trot.  Although we lost some momentum not having a race last year, our goal is to get 300 runners.  With 2 weeks left we have approximately 60 signed up.  Although this looks like a long way from our goal, there are still two weeks to go and same day registrations could help.

Whether we hit the goal or not, we like to think this will be an annual event that will grow to large numbers over time. Anything the club members can do to encourage runners to register or sponsors to take part, would be greatly appreciated.  

Two recognized names have lent their name to this event---

New Balance
Runner's Alley
