  The first 2023 monthly meeting of the Melrose Arts & Crafts Society will be held on Monday, January 23 at First Baptist Church (561 Main St., Melrose) from 9:00 a.m. to approximately 1:00 p.m. This month, Lori Rossi and Linda Camberlain will be cohosting playing card, board and vocal games, some of which the members will provide. Fun for all! Also, members will be working on the ongoing Teddy Bear Workshop or sitting in on the Sit and Knit group.

  The speaker for this month is Stacey Minchello, who is the Executive Director of the Melrose Council on Aging. Stacey will be speaking about all the services, programs and trips that the Milano Center offers. Classes, such as chair yoga, bridge, healthy bones, game time and Zumba are just a few of the many classes offered by the center. Two options for lunch are available every day, Monday thru Friday. The Milano Center is located at 235 W. Foster St. in Melrose.
