The Millerville Community Club was formed in March 2011. Since then, it has worked on a project to improve the city park. Last year a spaghetti fundraiser was held, a Halloween party for the kids and Christmas in Millerville Craft Show in November.

The group is raising funds for new playground equipment, bathrooms and concession stand.
