Editor’s Note: This letter was written and submitted by Alan Jasper, the Unit Commissioner for Troop 225.
I would just like to publically acknowledge the heartfelt and unselfish response from Troop 225 based right at Birch School in Merrick to an email request for help with my home after Superstorm Sandy.
Over two weekends numerous Boy Scouts, Adult Leaders and parents help make an overwhelming situation manageable. They carted numerous bags, furniture, rugs and other material out of our house and transported what could be saved to an outside storage location.
Get news your way on Merrick Patch. See our great list of groups and click the green “+ Follow” button on the ones you like. Done!
The gratitude, kindness, compassion and help given by the Troop to myself and my wife will forever be remembered.
Sincerely,
Alan Jasper Unit Commissioner Troop 225

The School board is a bunch of morons if they want to remove this designation! There were 0 problems…Read More like this when Malucci was in office, this new superintendent is a waste of space, money, and cares more about his own paycheck then our kids! Between school security, and now this, I motion that we get rid of that skell!
