NEXT SCHEDULED VILLAGE MEETING: MODAY, OCTOBER 20, 2025, 7PM, MERRYLAND PARK
MESSAGE FROM THE BURGESS (09/09/2025)
Thanks to all who helped make Sunday’s Village Picnic such a success! We had almost 50 attendees, ranging in age from 1.5 to 80+ years old. The food was delicious, the weather perfect, ten lucky winners went home with cakes from the Cake Walk, and the Dime Toss raised a whole lot of change for the Lions Club. Our next scheduled event will probably be the Fall Bulk Trash Pick-up, but the dates for this are not yet set. We’ll keep you posted. The next Village Meeting will be on October 20 at Merryland Park. Business will be largely financial-related: the results of the annual audit, and some decision-making about investments and policy. All are welcome. On a festive note, we have tentatively reserved the Lions Building at the park for a Community Cookie Exchange on the afternoon of Saturday, December 13. Contact Beth (rosemont.clerk@gmail.com) if you’d like to be involved in planning.
-John

Announcements:
In local news, the Brunswick Lions Club has recruited new members and is NOT dissolving. Lions Merryland, Inc. will retain ownership of the building and adjacent land in Merryland Park so the question of whether Rosemont is willing to assume ownership is now moot.

Concerns about Homeowner’s Insurance? The People's Insurance Counsel Division (PICD) of the Office of the Attorney General represents the interests of Maryland Homeowners. While the Division cannot provide legal representation for individual consumers, PICD protects insurance consumers in a number of ways, including the discussing insurance problems with consumers to answer questions and explain the process available in Maryland for review of complaints. If you have a problem with your insurance company or agent, you can file a complaint with the Maryland Insurance Administration (MIA), and an investigator will determine whether your insurance company violated Maryland's insurance laws.
