Now that winter weather is here, it's time to restate the YMCA's policy on storm closings. It is the policy of the Melrose Family YMCA to remain open during inclement weather. Should the city or state declare an emergency, or the safety of our members and staff are in question, it may be necessary for the Y to close. In the event the YMCA does close, cancelled classes will not be made up, credited or refunded. The Melrose Y is looking for volunteer t-ball coaches for our 2010 T-Ball League starting on May 1, 2010.

If you have any question or concerns regarding this policy, please contact the Aquatics Department at 781-665-4360.
This camp will run for eight one week sessions from June 28th to August 20th.

Are you an on-line shopper? If you make any on-line purchases you could be donating to the Y at the same time. All you have to do is visit iGive.com and chose the Melrose Y as your charity of choice. Then proceed to the on-line store of your choice and make your purchases. The YMCA will get a percentage of your entire purchase. You can still get all of the sale prices and discounts that are promoted by the retailer, that won't effect the donation to the Y. The important thing to remember is that you must go to iGive.com first, before you buy anything, every time. Or, you can choose an option that will send a pop-up notice to your computer screen if you visit the website of a participating retailer. Then simply click on the pop-up and let the shopping begin! The iGive.com web site lets you choose from the over 680 retailers (including Ebay, Overstock.com, Godiva, Staples, Barnes & Noble, Apple, Lands End, Snapfish). Pick the ones you shop with and just make your purchases. The donation is automatic. Why not give it a try! Think about it, you can buy what you need and help the Y all at the same time! Thank you for your support.
