A community such as Merifield Acres doesn’t just happen – it is caused. Much of what we enjoy on a daily basis (and take for granted, too) is the result of the dedication and energy of a large number of persons who voluntarily contributed their time and talent over the years. It’s not possible to recognize these many contributors who established Merifield Acres and nurtured its development, but we can recognize those who are currently giving of themselves to maintaining and improving this wonderful community of ours. The persons listed below have made, and are making, significant contributions during the year between annual meetings. On behalf of all of us, we thank them for what they are doing.
