Membership Benefits

Welcome

"I'm thrilled that I have found such excellent instructors at such a convenient location and affordable price. I would not be able to take several classes a week if it were not for MSAC, and I think its is making a difference for my physical condition and ability to navigate the icy streets in winter." -MSAC Member

About MSAC


We are a lively place to gather for classes, to engage with others, to share a meal-and we are re-opening for some in-person programs this summer after a long pandemic closing that put most online! We offer a wide variety of events, activities and programs relating to health, arts, travel, crafts, recreation, and education.
