The annual Mordecai Community Picnic is held on a Sunday afternoon in June, on the lawn at the Mordecai Historic Park. Meet your neighbors at the annual Mordecai Community Picnic! In past years we've had a potluck but in 2022 & 2023 we had a "Lawn Party" which was a lot of fun, so we're bringing it back for 2024. This is an alcohol-free, family friendly event. We have the neighborhood play wagons there with plenty of fun activities for the kids!
No Summer MCAC Meetings July and August, no regular monthly meetings
August: Ice Cream Social/National Night Out
This event is held in August, in place of our normal meeting. Don’t miss this community event featuring ice cream, games, and snacks. Meet neighbors and visit with our community police officers. We used to have a yearly ice cream social and in recent years have combined that with National Night Out. The event is organized by the social chair and has been held at Halifax Community Center, Mordecai Mini Park, or the Mordecai Historic Park.

October: MCAC Meeting, Haunted Mordecai (hosted by Mordecai Historic Park)

The holiday social meeting is usually held at a local business and is a fun way for neighbors and CAC leaders to enjoy our December meeting. Snacks and drinks are provided and families are encouraged to attend. During the meeting we have a brief business meeting to hold elections. The holiday social is organized by the Social Chair. Past locations include Pelagic Beer & Wine, The Person Street Pharmacy Cafe, So & So Books, Logans, and Galatea Boutique.

Park Work Days
The Mordecai Parks Committee sponsors park work days for weeding, planting, and mulching throughout the year. Please email parks@mordecaicac.org to get involved!
Stream Cleanups
The stream cleanup used to be a CAC event, and now is being sponsored by local business Pelagic Brewing. Please get in touch with the folks at Pelagic if you'd like to help clean up our stream!
Neighborhood Cleanup
For many years the there was an annual neighborhood cleanup day right after yard sale day. Basically, people cleaned out their houses, and the city did a special pick up of all the trash. One nice thing about is that it would normally cost $50 for the city to come by and pick up a large item, such as an old gas grill. If you have a neighborhood cleanup, it's free.
We no longer have a yearly cleanup, but cleanup days are organized as needed when a citizen takes the lead on organization. If you'e like to organize a cleanup day for the community, please contact the chairs at chair@mordecaicac.org.
