Mill Brook

Mill Brook’s environmental expert, Tricia Vanderbeck, led a group of South High School students in tending our community gardens. The civic association provided the supplies, but Trish and her hard-working volunteers made it happen. Our next garden event will be in the fall. Please come out and help us keep our community beautiful. Watch this website for the November date.

Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder officially kicked into gear his Community Council, a police task force with a subdivision in each of the county’s 19 legislative districts.

Winter is over! Come out and see your neighbors again while getting caught up on community news and events.

In an effort to make information available to the residents of our community, we have updated the format and appearance of our site. It is the civic association’s hope that you will utilize these pages to not only stay current with local news and events, but to contribute your own ideas and suggestions, both for the site and our neighborhood.

Special thank you to Trish Vanderbeck for her guidance and expertise, and all the students from South High and Forest Road who came out to pitch in with great community spirit.

Sanitation has begun a new recycling program, and also altered our regular pickup schedule. Notices were hung on doorknobs throughout Mill Brook, but in the event you misplaced or did not receive yours, the information can be found here. In addition, their website has an interactive feature that allows you to enter a street name (example: Woodland, Cloverfield, Southgate) and you are shown a calendar marked with your pickup dates. Go to http://sanitarydistrict1.com/ and click on What Day is My Pickup? If you no longer have a yellow recycling receptacle, call 516-239-5600 to request one. For specific issues with Sanitation, call George Pappas at (516) 996-0057.

The Mill Brook Civic Association is looking for community residents to add to our board. If you have two hours a month to share and enjoy working on a team, please consider joining us at one of our monthly board meetings to see what we do. You can do it too. If you enjoy living in Mill Brook, ask yourself why. Is it because there’s a real feeling of neighborhood? Is it because there’s a dedicated association that plans concerts, supports picnics, and organizes beautification projects? A group that holds meetings to keep the community informed, liaisons between police, local government, and the mall that borders us? If you want to be a part of the bigger picture, please Contact Us and address message to Membership Committee. We’re your neighbors and we’d love to hear from you. Even better, see you.

This year’s winning essay was written by South High School senior and Mill Brook resident, Demi Moore, pictured here with MBCA Vice-President Linda Kettering and board member John Campbell. The $500 scholarship was presented to Demi at a SHS ceremony on June 3rd. We join the entire community in congratulating Demi on her outstanding achievement.

Spring 2015 Volunteer Planting Day. Thanks to all!
