Our beloved Melrose Family Room has undergone a deep-cleaning treatment and it's looking better than ever!  The only thing left to do is put the furniture and toys all back in place.  We are looking for volunteers (current or new members) who can leave the kids at home and come by this Saturday August 20th from 9am to 11am. Lending a hand will satisfy the membership requirement of volunteer hours for the upcoming 22-23 membership year, which will be officially reinstated. And there will be coffee! Please RVSP so we have an idea of how many hands we have for this re-opening project. Thank you!

Cool down at the splash pad this Saturday with the MFR! The Hall Memorial Pool in Stoneham has graciously allowed MFR members early entry at 9 a.m. (before its open to the public!). Kids get in FREE, adults are $3/person.  Please register!

Did you know that the MFR has a plot at the Melrose Community Garden for all members to explore and enjoy!? Come by this Saturday at 9 a.m. to plant some seeds and enjoy a storytime.  It's going to be a hot one! Please remember to bring water to help little ones cool down.   

The room will be closed from 3-6 for a private reservation.

Attention all Melrose Family Room Members!   Please come to Lincoln Elementary School on Saturday July 16th from 3 to 5pm for FREE ICE CREAM!
